FRP Deck (also called plank) is a one-piece pultruded profile, 500mm over width and 40mm thick, with a tongue and groove joint along the length of the plank that gives a firm, sealable joint between lengths of profile.
The FRP Deck gives a solid floor with a gritted anti-slip surface. It will span 1.5m at a design load of 5kN/m2 with a deflection limit of L/200 and meets all the requirements of BS 4592-4 Industrial type flooring and stair treads Part 5: Solid plates in metal and glass reinforced plastics (GRP) Specification and BS EN ISO 14122 part 2 - Safety of Machinery Permanent means of access to machinery.
