Wet leisure environments combine constant moisture, chlorine and bare feet, a tough mix for traditional materials. GRP grating is widely used around pools and in changing areas because it resists corrosion, grips when wet and is comfortable and hygienic underfoot.
Why GRP grating suits pools and leisure
- Corrosion resistant – it shrugs off chlorine, humidity and pool chemicals that corrode metal.
- Anti-slip when wet – the textured surface helps prevent slips in barefoot, wet areas.
- Barefoot friendly – mini mesh grating has a smaller aperture that is kinder to bare feet and stops small items dropping through.
- Hygienic and low maintenance – easy to clean and it will not rot.
Typical applications
Pool surrounds, deck-level channel and duct covers, footbaths, changing rooms, shower areas and plant rooms. Mini mesh is the usual choice for barefoot areas, with standard mesh for plant rooms. See the full range or call 01480 570001.
Frequently asked questions
Which GRP grating is best for swimming pool surrounds?
Mini mesh grating is usually preferred because its smaller aperture is more comfortable for bare feet and stops small objects falling through, while still providing anti-slip grip.
Does pool chlorine damage GRP grating?
No. GRP resists chlorine and the humid pool environment far better than metal, which is why it is a popular choice for wet leisure.
