Question 1

Can GRP be used for mezzanine floors?

Accepted Answer

Yes. GRP can be used as mezzanine flooring or decking where the support structure, span, load requirement and environment are suitable. It is commonly considered for industrial access, plant decks, service areas and corrosion-prone environments.

Question 2

Is open mesh or solid-top GRP better for mezzanine flooring?

Accepted Answer

Open mesh GRP is usually better for wet, exposed or wash-down environments where drainage and airflow are useful. Solid-top GRP is usually better where a continuous walking surface is needed for pedestrians, storage, trolleys or dropped-object control.

Question 3

Can GRP mezzanine flooring replace steel decking?

Accepted Answer

In many access and industrial flooring applications, GRP can replace steel decking or grating, provided the correct panel type, span and loading are specified. The supporting structure and intended use should always be reviewed before selection.

Question 4

Can GRP mezzanine floors be cut around services?

Accepted Answer

Yes. GRP panels can be cut and prepared around pipework, ducts, cable routes, equipment bases and service penetrations. Where openings affect strength or support, additional framing or bracing may be required.

Question 5

Can Vital GRP supply stairs and handrail with a mezzanine floor?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Vital GRP can support mezzanine floor projects with GRP access stairs, ships ladders, handrail, kick plate, gates, platforms, structural profiles and fixing systems.
