Here are some advantages of SYNTHETEC® Stone Grating compare with the traditional matching cover.

The traditional matching cove
The FIBRPRO® SYNTHETEC® Stone Grating

01 Light-weight:

SYNTHETEC® Stone Grating its specific gravity is about 1.8, its weight is only 1/4 of Matching Cover.

02 Loading Sustainable:

Its strength is tenfold of RPVC ( Rigid PolyVinyl Chloride ) , the raw intensity of SYNTHETEC® stone grating is much stronger than Matching Cover and the vehicular loading is up to 400KN.

03 Design Free:

SYNTHETEC® Stone Grating allows wild-ranging of colors, pattern, Size, Shape, hole pattern, and finish texture design, also matching in environments perfectly.

07 Non-Slip Surface:

Slips and falls are a major risk in many industries causing injuries and lost workdays. SYNTHETEC® Stone grating is available with a non-slip surface also offers outstanding slip resistance in wet and oily environments and has consistently reduced slips and falls in industrial facilities.

08 Cost Effectiveness:

Compare with Matching Cover, the composite cost of SYNTHETEC® Stone Grating is low, even though the initial investment is higher than the matching cover, it is much more durable and has zero maintenance costs. Also, installation costs are usually less than that of Matching cover.
