GRP Interlocking flooring plank
DECK500 is a one-piece pultruded profile, 500mm cover width, with a tongue and groove joint along the length of the plank that gives a firm, sealable joint between lengths of profile.
DECK500 is suitable as a mezzanine floor, for walkways, pedestrian bridge decks and odour control covers or to keep out water penetration in potable and waste water treatment units.
DECK500 can be used in a number of other applications where its strength, light weight and easy of joining provide important benefits.
For example:
- Flood defence barriers – easy to install, no theft value
- Baffles in water treatment tanks
- Stop locks
- Top deck covers for cooling towers
DECK500 gives a solid floor with a gritted anti-slip surface. It will span 1.5m at a design load of 5kN/m2 with a deflection limit of L/200 and meets all the requirements of BS 4592 Industrial type flooring and stair treads and BS EN ISO 14122 Permanent means of access to machinery.
