FRP Grating — 38 mm Molded Panel (19 × 19 mm Mini Mesh), Gritted Grey Surface, 1220 × 3660 mm This premium molded grating panel combines mini-mesh grid (19 × 19 mm) with a grit-embedded surface, producing a non-slip, high-strength...
This premium molded grating panel combines mini-mesh grid (19 × 19 mm) with a grit-embedded surface, producing a non-slip, high-strength flooring solution. At 38 mm thickness, it balances structural rigidity with lightweight installation and offers excellent drainage and load-bearing performance. Designed for safety-critical access zones such as solar panel walkways, chemical plants, coastal jetties, and elevated footpaths in Kenya.

Panels are stocked in Nairobi and can be delivered across Kenya—including to Kisumu, Eldoret, Nakuru, Mombasa, and Thika. Mwanga Solutions offers custom fabrication, panel cutting, edge finishing, and technical support, including load-check advice and installation guidance. Volume pricing and delivery services are available for solar EPC firms, contractors, and public infrastructure projects.
The mini-mesh design (19 × 19 mm) ensures that small objects or tools do not fall through the grid, improving safety during rooftop service work or in sensitive industrial environments. Paired with a grey grit surface, this grating provides exceptional traction even under wet or oily conditions common in coastal or factory settings. Its open area supports drainage and airflow while retaining structural rigidity.
The 38 mm thickness gives the panel sufficient strength to support pedestrian and light equipment loads, yet remains a practical weight for manual handling. This design choice greatly simplifies installation on rooftops or elevated areas without lifting equipment. The non-conductive nature also prevents electrical hazards near live wiring or solar arrays, enhancing site safety.
From a lifecycle and maintenance perspective, this grating offers unmatched value. With a lifespan exceeding ten years, it requires no painting, rust treatment, or frequent replacement. Salt, UV, and chemical exposure have minimal impact on its integrity—while Kenya-based fabrication and delivery by Mwanga Solutions ensures fast deployment and site-specific accuracy.
Durable 38 mm FRP grating panel with 19 × 19 mm mini-mesh and grey grit anti-slip surface (1220 × 3660 mm). High strength, corrosion-resistant and non-conductive. Perfect for solar walkways, coastal infrastructure, and industrial platforms in Kenya. Available from Mwanga Solutions.
