Load-Deflection Tables

Deflection to Span Ratios
  • For a resilient, non-fatiguing, comfortable feel use the STANDARD deflection to span ratio of 1:120.
  • For an elevated installation, where a solid feeling is desired, use a deflection to span ratio of 1:180 (NBC-85). A deflection to span ratio greater than 1:100 (1%) is not recommended. Do not exceed .5" (13mm).

Panel Selection

  • Determine the type of loading ­ concentrated or uniform.
  • Estimate the load and determine the span.
  • Decide what maximum deflection is appropriate ­ solid, standard or 1%.
  • Enter the appropriate 1" (25mm) table. If the deflection is less than the maximum selected, choose the 1" thickness. It is more economical than 1.5" thick panels.
  • If the deflection or span is too great for 1" thick panels, select 1.5" thick FRP Grating and design your support system for the appropriate span.
  • Select the resin system.

Panel Installation

  • Panels are designed to be supported on all sides.
  • Use end clips if panel ends cannot be supported.
  • Use hold down clips (page 6) to prevent panel drift.
