Launch of AutoGrate®, the Ultimate GRP Grating
Barclay & Mathieson is proud to announce the launch of AutoGrate, a new generation glass-reinforced polymer (GRP) open mesh grating that combines automated manufacturing with proven GRP technology to deliver exceptional consistency, reliability and strength.
AutoGrate has been developed to give specifiers, contractors, and asset owners a stronger GRP flooring and enable safer, more efficient access structures.

Improved Strength. Longer Spans. Material & Cost Savings.
AutoGrate offers enhanced strength over standard moulded GRP gratings. This performance improvement enables more efficient and economical walkway designs by allowing project teams to either:
- Design longer unsupported spans, reducing substructure requirements and installation time; or
- Reduce the GRP panel thickness used, without compromising on performance
Unrivalled Load Performance. Independently Tested.
Independent testing carried out by Lancaster University has confirmed that AutoGrate’s superior quality translates into a significant strength advantage over standard GRP gratings, giving users added confidence in its performance for safety-critical access structures.
The result is a high-performance GRP grating that supports safer access routes while helping improve project efficiency.
AutoGrate Range
AutoGrate is available in a panel thickness of either 25mm and 38mm, and a multitude of panel sizes and RAL colours:
This range gives specifiers flexibility when selecting the most suitable option for their walkway, platform and access applications.
Designed for Aggressive Industrial Environments
AutoGrate is suitable for use in safety walkways and access structures across a wide range of sectors and operating conditions, including:
- Construction
- Rail
- Energy & Utilities
- Marine
- Manufacturing
- Agriculture
- Chemical processing
- And other demanding industrial environments
Where corrosion resistance, slip resistance and long-term durability are essential, AutoGrate provides a high-performance industrial flooring solution.
