Our molded fiberglass is a strong mesh grating panel which allows efficient on-site cutting to minimize grating waste. Molded in
one piece with a plain concave non-slip walking surface, it is the chemical resistant flooring choice for many industrial applications.
Load bearing bars in both directions allow for use without continuous side support.
Molded fiberglass grating is significantly lighter in weight than metallic gratings. The high resin content (65%) provides long
maintenance free performance. Molded Stair Tread Covers are available.

materials over screen panels by reducing friction.
Provides more wearing surface than other
weaves. Locking weave assures accurate
openings to provide uniform grating and
screening efficiency.
Triple Shute Weave - Ideal for working with
sticky or wet material that normally plugs square
or oblong opening screens. Weave holds wire
securely in place yet permits wires to vibrate
slightly to keep openings free and at peak
efficiency.
TERMINOLOGY
Calendering - A rolling operation which flattens the
knuckles of Wire Cloth giving it a smoother surface.
Crimp - Undulations in warp and fill wires which hold
each other in place.
Fill Wire - aka SHUTE WIRE, wire running across the
width of the cloth.
Filter Cloth - Cloth used for flattening or straining (pri-
marily plain and twilled dutch Wire Cloth and certain
specifications of square mesh and off-count standard
Wire Cloth).
Hardware Cloth - Plain weave square mesh cloth of
relatively light wire galvanized after weaving. (Usually

Information on other weaves
and crimps is available.
Oil Tempered Wire - High carbon steel wire that is heat
treated to produce good strength and abrasion resis-
tance.
Opening - Dimension between parallel adjacent wires.
Rectangular Mesh - Wire Cloth with different warp and
fill wire mesh counts, which results in rectangular open-
ings. The most common have a higher warp mesh than
fill mesh. Advantages are increased open area and
reduced cost.
Selvage - The finished edges of Wire Cloth running the
length of the roll which are produced by the weaving
operation.
