Glass reinforced plastic is one of the fiber reinforced polymers that is made using the plastic matrix reinforced by glass fibers. Drain covers provide access to our drains, sitting on the top of either plastic inspections chambers or traditional brick manholes. These manholes come in a variety of shapes, sizes, weights and materials, including steel, ductile iron.
FRP Manhole covers options include that can be fitted discreetly into block paving or even inside the house. Circular manhole covers are also now common place, brought about the circular plastic inspection chambers. There are different types of materials that can be chosen such as galvanized steel and polypropylene. They are light in weight and strong, hardwearing materials which are very good for GRP drain covers.
Why GRP is used to make Drain Covers?
The answer is very simple. Because it is light in weight, very strong along with robust material. GRP materials are low in stiffness and lesser brittle when compared with the carbon fiber. When we compare them with old metal alternatives, strength and properties of the weight of GRP are very favorable. They are easily molded in a huge array of designs, thus making it best fit for both the standards and a large gamut of application products.
Compatibility:
Modern drain covers will not fit into old frames and it is much easier and very much safer to remove the old frame completely and fit the new cover and frame as complete unit. They come in different ranges from circle covers, square drain covers to rain drain covers.
What are the features of GRP Drain Covers?
- GRP Drain covers come with double seal
- They are non-brittle in nature
- Lightweight
- It can Resist weight for up to 40 tons
- Due to non-presence of metal in the drain cover, they are theft-free.
- They come with self-pigmented and does not require any kind of painting.
- Due to poor heat transfer properties of GRP, drain covers do not absorb heat and remains at normal temperature under sunlight.
- GRP Drain covers are flexible and don’t breaks into pieces due to heavy load bearing imparted on the cover, accidents on roads are easily avoided as the chamber’s openings are still closed even in case of cracking of cover.
