Types and Applications of Glass Steel Decking: From Common to Specialized

Glass steel decking comes in various types, each with its unique characteristics and applications. Here are some common types and their uses:

Floor Trench Decking
 This type of glass steel decking is commonly used in various applications such as floor trenches, manhole covers, and stormwater drainage systems. It offers excellent performance with its lightweight yet strong construction, and has high resistance to wear. The surface of this decking is often treated for added slip resistance and wear resistance.

Cable Trench Decking
 This type of decking is similar to floor trench decking but has more stringent manufacturing requirements. The primary requirement is that it be non-conductive, as it is essential for electrical safety. There are also specific requirements for the sealing properties of the decking.

Glass Grating Decking
 This type of decking is often used as an alternative to glass grating because it provides an additional layer of protection. Common applications include water tanks, pedestrian walkways, and other areas where grating is used.

Applications of Glass Steel Decking:
 Glass steel decking is primarily used for covering trenches, walkways, and stairways, especially in power plants, wastewater treatment facilities, and other industrial settings. It offers excellent corrosion resistance, durability, and ease of installation, making it a popular choice for these applications.

Choosing the Resin Type of Glass Steel Decking:
 The price and corrosion resistance of the decking vary depending on the resin type. Therefore, it is important to choose the most cost-effective resin type based on the corrosive environment of the application.
 A. This type offers general corrosion resistance and can withstand atmospheric aging and marine corrosion. It is suitable for long-term use at temperatures ranging from -50 to 60℃.
 B.This type offers excellent corrosion resistance and can withstand various environments with medium concentration inorganic acids, alkalis, salts, and other acids. It is suitable for long-term use at temperatures ranging from -50 to 90℃.
 C. This type offers the highest level of corrosion resistance and can withstand extremely harsh environments such as acids, alkalis, solvents, or acid-base. It is suitable for long-term use at temperatures ranging from -50 to 110℃.
