Due to the moulded aspect of the grating, the installer is allowed numerous cut-outs for piping, valve access, and column penetrations can be made without the need for additional structural framing. Being of one-piece construction, the fibreglass grating performs as a plate, distributing loads throughout the fibreglass grating section and around cut-outs. Cutting access holes in the moulded fibreglass grating does not weaken the panel and does not generally require additional or costly supports.
