Safe and durable floor grating

A new floor grating product range is designed to offer strength, safety and durability in demanding maritime environments.

d2 Dura Grating

Dura Composites’ d2 Dura Grating is made from Glass Reinforced Polymer (GRP) and is a lightweight, low maintenance and cost-effective alternative to conventional metal-based systems. The grating is ideal for the extreme wet, salty and aggressive conditions experienced by the shipping, maritime and offshore sectors – and with an industry first, is available with a Class B Fire rating in accordance with BS EN 13501.

Stuart Burns, managing director of Dura Composites, commented: “Our d2 Dura Grating product has a host of benefits for the marine sector with its Class B fire rating and advanced anti-slip qualities providing a safe and affordable new solution for a wide variety of commercial marine projects.”

With a mission to unlock the power of composites for the commercial marine sector – the standard mesh, mini mesh and solid top grating series comes with a raft of advanced technical load and deflection data.

Usage of d2 Dura Grating can include ports, docks, gangways and ramps, bridges, ladders and hand railings.

Dura Composites have tested the anti-slip surface of the new d2 grating range to 1.1m footfalls (BS 7976-2), with testing showing ultra-low slip potential.

Best-in-class weather resistance minimises fading corrosion and rust to maintain maximum performance.
