Product Overview
Our 100 x 15 x 4 mm FRP kick plate is specifically designed for protective railings, working platforms, and industrial walkways where safety barriers are required. Manufactured through an advanced pultrusion process, this dimension offers a balance between structural strength and lightweight installation.
The 100 mm width provides sufficient coverage to prevent tools and equipment from falling through guardrails, while the 15 mm height meets standard safety regulations for toe boards. The 4 mm thickness ensures durability without unnecessary weight, making it approximately 75% lighter than steel of equal cross-section.
Perfect Fit for Standard Applications
This specific 100 x 15 x 4 mm dimension is ideal for:
- Standard handrail systems (40-50mm tube diameter)
- Mezzanine platform edges
- Elevated walkways
- Equipment access platforms
- Industrial staircases
The W-shaped profile provides enhanced structural rigidity compared to flat barriers, allowing for greater span distances between supports while maintaining compliance with safety standards.
Performance Advantages
The 100 x 15 x 4 mm FRP kick plate offers these performance benefits:
| Advantage | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Precise Dimensions | Perfect fit for standard railing systems |
| Optimized Weight | Lightweight at 0.8 kg/meter for easy handling |
| Corrosion Resistant | Resists degradation in many chemical and saltwater environments |
| Low Maintenance | No regular painting or rust treatment required in compatible environments |
| UV Resistant | Formulated to resist UV degradation; service life depends on climate and exposure |
| Non-Conductive | Eliminates electrical hazards in power facilities |
| Fire Resistance | Self-extinguishing properties (Class 1 fire rating) |
| Impact Resistant | Absorbs impacts without cracking or deforming |
| Long Service Life | Designed for long-term performance in compatible environments |
Installation System
Our 100 x 15 x 4 mm kick plates include a complete mounting system:
- Standard mounting brackets (fits 40-50mm tubes)
- Corner connectors for 90° turns
- Straight connectors for extending length
- All necessary fasteners included
Installation uses standard hand tools and does not require specialized equipment or training. The lightweight profile allows a single technician to handle installation.
Cost-Efficiency Analysis
The total cost of ownership depends on the operating environment and maintenance schedule. Potential savings come from:
- Low maintenance requirements (no painting or rust removal) in compatible environments
- Long service life in compatible environments
- Reduced installation labor due to lightweight profile
- No specialized equipment needed for installation
Common Applications

- Chemical processing (acids, alkalis, solvents)
- Food production (washdown environments)
- Wastewater treatment (constant moisture exposure)
- Offshore platforms (saltwater exposure)
- Power generation (electrical safety requirements)
- Mining operations (abrasive environments)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the 100 x 15 x 4 mm dimension a standard size?
A: Yes, this is one of our standard dimensions, designed to meet common industrial safety requirements while offering a balance of weight and strength.
Q: How does the 4 mm thickness compare to other options?
A: The 4 mm thickness provides good impact resistance while remaining lightweight for easy installation. It is a common choice for general industrial applications.
Q: Can the 100 x 15 x 4 mm kick plate be cut on-site?
A: Yes, the 4 mm thickness can be easily cut with a standard circular saw with a fine-tooth blade. No special cutting tools are required.
Q: How many mounting brackets are needed per meter?
A: For the 100 x 15 x 4 mm profile, we recommend mounting brackets every 1.2 meters for optimal support and compliance with load rating requirements.
Q: Is this dimension compliant with safety regulations?
A: The 100 x 15 x 4 mm dimension is designed to meet common OSHA requirements for toe boards on elevated platforms and walkways. Verify compliance with your local authority.
Q: How does temperature affect this specific profile?
A: The 100 x 15 x 4 mm profile maintains structural integrity from -40°C to +80°C with minimal thermal expansion (approximately 2mm per 6m length across 50°C temperature change).
Q: What is the minimum order quantity for this specific dimension?
A: The 100 x 15 x 4 mm profile is stocked as a standard item with no minimum order requirement.
