Architectural & Building
Why Architectural & Building Needs FRP
Architects choose FRP for what other materials can't do: lightweight structure, custom color, translucency options, and forms that would be impossible in steel or concrete. FRP delivers design freedom with 20+ year durability.- Weight limits on canopies and facade structures
- Corrosion in coastal and urban environments
- Design flexibility for complex forms
- Low-maintenance expectations for public spaces

Technical Specifications & Compliance
Application-specific engineering reference for Architectural & Building — corrosion rating, load criteria, governing codes and the recommended ZeAllgrate configuration. Use this as the specification starting point; final design must be verified against certified load/span charts and the project's governing codes.
| Parameter | Specification for Architectural & Building |
|---|---|
| Corrosion Level | Low–Medium Urban/coastal atmospheric exposure, rain and UV; aesthetic & weathering expectations. |
| Typical Load Requirements | Roof terraces, tree grates & landscape bridges 50 psf (2.4 kN/m²) pedestrian; canopies & screens checked for wind/uplift per ASCE 7; public assembly areas 100 psf (4.8 kN/m²). |
| Applicable Standards & Regulations | IBC (International Building Code), ASCE 7 (wind/snow/seismic), ADA (accessibility), ASTM E84 (interior finish flame spread), local building & fire code. |
| Recommended Resin System | ZeAll ISO UV-stabilized gel-coat for exterior color retention; ZeAll FR grade for interior public assemblies; custom Pantone color-matched resin. |
| Recommended Grating Type | Molded 25.4/38.1 mm in custom colors for facade screens, tree grates and terrace decking; Pultruded profiles for canopies & louvres; Mini-Mesh for decorative visual density. |
Resin systems: ZeAll VE (vinyl ester — severe corrosion), ZeAll ISO (isophthalic polyester — general service), ZeAll FDA (food/potable grade), ZeAll FR (extra flame-retardant), Phenolic (fire/smoke-critical). Grating types: Molded (bi-directional), Pultruded (long-span), Mini-Mesh (fine openings), HLC (high-load capacity).
Architectural Service Requirements
| Requirement | ZeAllgrate Response |
|---|---|
| UV & weather exposure | UV-stabilised grades; controlled surface change over years |
| Fire performance | E84 Class A/B/C per code; report for the exact grade |
| Aesthetics | Colour-matched panels; crisp edge finishes; custom sizes |
| Structure | High stiffness-to-weight for screens, louvres and decks |
Specification Guidance
Architectural FRP is specified on code, not catalogue: confirm the E84 class for the rated location, the UV-stabilisation for the exposure, and the structural span from the load table for the actual support grid. Screens and louvres use pultruded profiles for dimensional stability; walkways and decks use grating with the surface matched to the walking duty. Engage ZeAllgrate at design stage for the fabrication drawings, colour and finish options — the product is specified once and installed to the drawing, so coordination early avoids field rework.
