Applications for Gates, Fences & Grilles include:

• Wide span security checkpoint gates for vehicle access
• Trellis fencing for suburban railway platforms
• Security palisade type fence systems
• Waterside grille applications
• Electrical installations
• Cold environments
• Worker access to machinery
• Railway restricted access & platform end applications

Suitable for industrial and commercial environments, Glass Reinforced Polymer
(GRP) gates, fences and grilles provide a safe, maintenance free and cost effective
alternative to metal or wooden structures.

The comprehensive range of GRP profiles are perfectly suited to fabricate products for interior, exterior and
aggressive environments where industrial chemicals or acid/salt air may quickly degrade other structures.
Composite structures have displayed proven in-service performance for 40+ years.

A composite gate or fence construction may comprise the following elements:

• Structural frame or suspension sections
• Cross bracing
• Open mesh in-fill panels or grille inserts
• Galvanised or stainless steel gate furniture
• Composite self closing gate hinges
• Composite/steel lockable latch mechanism
• Wall/floor fixings/fasteners/supports

Structural components are available in steel grey or high visibility safety yellow, with green, black & other colours to
order. They provide all the advantages of light weight, high strength and durability, coupled with a corrosion resistant,
non conductive, fire retardant and maintenance free life.

Through-colour construction and an optional extra-durable polyurethane surface coating for exterior installations will
provide an enduring, smart appearance that is highly cost effective when compared to stainless or galvanised
steel/iron.

Gates & fences provide worker and public safety and security in a wide variety of locations e.g. manufacturing, power
generation, water treatment works, petro-chemical facilities, marinas, railways, around machinery etc.

The relative light weight of the product makes transport, handling & installation far easier than metallic products.
Structures may be fully or partially assembled prior to delivery for immediate installation, or fabricated in-situ using
tungsten carbide tipped tooling and resealed using an approved resin top coat.

Resin Types:

Type I

Resin Base:

Isophthalic Polyester

Characteristics:

Steel grey or safety yellow colour. Industrial grade corrosion resistance. Resin type offers fire retardant  to ASTM E84
Class 1 and flame spread index 15 or less. Operating temperature range -50C to 105C.

Applications:

Suitable for all general industrial environments. Mid concentrations of inorganic acids & alkalis.

Constituent profiles are manufactured/tested in accordance with:

ISO9001:2008 | EN13706 | EN 13501-1:2007

Can be fixed to:

GRP grating platforms, concrete, metal or wooden substrates

Construction methods:

Gates, fences and grilles are assembled using either rivets or stainless/galvanised bolt systems and specialist
industrial adhesives. Custom made reinforcement/joining brackets & plates may also be deployed. Typical fixtures to
concrete substrates are achieved using expansion anchors (stainless/galvanised or zinc plated) or chemical anchors
along with further plates & brackets.
