One is the difference in raw materials: fiberglass grating is made of resin and fiberglass cloth; The steel grating is made of carbon steel;
2、 Different manufacturing methods: Fiberglass grating panels are molded. Welding of steel grating plates;
3、 The surface anti-corrosion methods are different: the surface of the fiberglass grating plate is resin anti-corrosion, which has high acid and alkali resistance; The surface of hot-dip galvanized steel plate is a hot-dip zinc layer, suitable for outdoor daily use.
4、 Product weight difference: Fiberglass grilles are lighter than steel grilles, made of resin and fiberglass, with lower density. Compared to steel grilles, fiberglass grilles have a density of only 1/4 of steel and 2/3 of aluminum, but their hardness is indeed many times higher than polyethylene and aluminum.
5、 Different installation costs: The cutting and installation of fiberglass grating is simple, and does not require hot work or large lifting equipment, only a small amount of manual and electric tools.
The quality of fiberglass grating is lighter than that of galvanized sheet. Withstand twice the weight of wood; Good insulation performance, more aesthetically pleasing than steel grilles, with more color variations such as yellow, green, light gray, dark gray, etc. However, fiberglass reinforced plastic grilles are not suitable for outdoor use. They are exposed to sunlight and rainwater and are prone to aging under ultraviolet radiation. The solution to this problem is to add UV resistant additives during the production process, which requires prior communication with the manufacturer before customizing the fiberglass grating.
Compared with fiberglass grating, galvanized steel grating has greater load-bearing capacity and is mainly used for platform boards and step boards. The disadvantage is that the quality is heavy, the appearance is not as good as fiberglass grating, and it cannot be insulated.
The emergence of fiberglass grating panels has brought convenience to people. Fiberglass grating panels have strong corrosion resistance, magnetic insulation, natural anti-theft, weather resistance, load-bearing, and easy cutting characteristics, which make up for the shortcomings of steel grating panels. I believe these two types of grille panels will bring more convenience to our work and life.
