Fiberglass FRP Grating is the perfect solution for Car Wash and Vehicle Maintenance facilities like mechanics and oil changers.  

National Grating is a leading supplier of FRP solutions for car wash and vehicle maintenance facilities across North America.

FRP Grating uses in Car Wash facilities

Fiberglass FRP Solutions are used in Car Wash facilities primarily as grating for water drainage and in Mechanics for Oils, coolant, and other liquid drainage.  The molded or pultruded FRP grating is often used to span a drainage ditch to allow liquids to flow into a drainage system while providing a strong and safe surface for vehicles and customers.   For heavy loads High Load Capacity (HLC) or Heavy-Duty FRP Grating is used that can support vehicle weights.

Other FRP applications in vehicle maintenance facilities include grating for walkways, FRP Stair Treads for nonslip stairs, FRP plate for a solid nonslip surface on platforms or walking surfaces and FRP Railing for noncorrosive hand railings.

Corrosion Resistance: FRP materials are resistant to corrosion from water and cleaning chemicals commonly used in car wash operations, ensuring longevity even in harsh environments.

Chemical Resistant: FRP grating is resistant to chemicals commonly used in car wash operations, making it a suitable choice for areas exposed to cleaning agents and detergents without deteriorating or losing its structural integrity.

Non-slip: The non-slip properties of FRP grating make it a safe flooring option for car wash facilities, providing traction even when wet and reducing the risk of slips and falls for both customers and staff.

Strength and Durability: HLC grating is engineered to withstand heavy vehicle traffic, including forklifts and large trucks, making it ideal for areas with high loads like car wash facilities. It is extremely durable and can handle corrosive environments without rusting, ensuring a long-lasting solution.
