Prices and market benchmarks here are indicative, dated and not offers; only a written, dated quote can become a contract. Technical data is general information your engineer must check for your project. > **Effective date.** Effective Oct 16, 2026. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under the law that applies to you. **These terms at a glance** | Specification | Value | Note | | --- | --- | --- | | Apply to | Everyone who visits strongrate.us or uses its forms, its markdown page copies or llms.txt | | | Grating shown on this site made by | NANTONG STRONGRATE CO.,LTD | | | Effective | Oct 16, 2026 | | | Prices on this site | Indicative and not offers; a written, dated quote governs | | | Quote validity | Stated in each written quote | | | Terms of sale | The written quote and order confirmation; summary at [terms, warranty and returns](https://www.strongrate.us/buy-direct/terms-warranty-and-returns/) | | ## What do these website terms cover? The fiberglass grating on this site is made by Nantong Strongrate Co., Ltd. in Nantong, China, and ships from China. In these terms, “we” and “us” mean the operator of strongrate.us, and “Strongrate” means the Strongrate brand and the products of Nantong Strongrate Co., Ltd. By using the site you accept these terms; if you do not accept them, please do not use it. **Which document governs what on strongrate.us** | Topic | Governed by | Where to read it | | --- | --- | --- | | Using the site, its content and its forms | These website terms of use | This page | | What we do with information you send | Privacy policy | [Privacy policy](https://www.strongrate.us/privacy/) | | Quotes, orders, payment, shipping, warranty and returns for factory-direct orders | The written quote and order confirmation (terms of sale) | [Terms, warranty and returns](https://www.strongrate.us/buy-direct/terms-warranty-and-returns/) | | Orders under about 500 sq ft, or needed in under 3 weeks | The referred US stocking importer’s own terms | [Where to buy fiberglass grating in the US](https://www.strongrate.us/fiberglass-grating-suppliers/) | _If a written quote or order confirmation conflicts with anything on this site, the quote or confirmation governs._ ## Are the prices on this site offers? No. Prices on strongrate.us are indicative and are not offers to sell. Strongrate prices are quoted per project in a written, dated quote. Where the site shows price ranges, they are other sellers’ public prices, labeled as market benchmarks with their source and date; they are never Strongrate prices. - A price is binding only in a written quote that names the seller, product, quantity, Incoterm (for example FOB or DDP) and quote date. - Each quote states how long it is valid. - Duty, freight and exchange rates change. Figures on [landed cost, duty and freight](https://www.strongrate.us/buy-direct/landed-cost-duty-and-freight/) are as of their stated date; confirm duties with your licensed customs broker. - We may correct errors in prices or product descriptions on the site at any time. See [fiberglass grating price per square foot](https://www.strongrate.us/pricing/fiberglass-grating-price/) for how prices are built, and [request a quote](https://www.strongrate.us/request-quote/) for a dated factory price. ## Can I rely on the technical data on this site? Use it to compare and shortlist products, not as a final design. Load tables, spans, weights, open area, resin and fire data and standards summaries are general information. Industry-typical figures from other makers or from standards are labeled as such; they are not Strongrate specifications. - A qualified engineer must confirm that a product suits your loads, spans, deflection limits, chemicals, temperatures, fire requirements and local codes. - For an order, check critical values against the factory’s written data for that order: submittal, data sheet or test report. - Summaries of OSHA, ADA, ASTM, IBC and other standards do not replace the current text of the standard. - Diagrams are schematic and not to scale. - Published load data is collected on [fiberglass grating load tables](https://www.strongrate.us/resources/fiberglass-grating-load-tables/). The DNV Type Approval TAF0000191 Rev. 1 is a fire-technical evaluation of six listed models only; it does not approve structural strength. See [certifications and test reports](https://www.strongrate.us/about/certifications-and-test-reports/). ## Is the trade and Buy America information legal advice? No. Tariff classifications, duty rates, Section 301 and de minimis summaries and Buy America explanations on this site are general information as of their stated date, and they change. Confirm them with your licensed customs broker and, for public projects, with your funding agency or counsel. One point is settled: grating made in China does not qualify for federally funded infrastructure projects covered by Build America, Buy America (BABA), and Strongrate does not supply them. Privately funded projects are not subject to BABA, although project specifications can still require US manufacture, so check your bid documents. See [Buy America (BABA) explained](https://www.strongrate.us/buy-direct/buy-america-baba/). ## How may I use the content on this site? The text, tables and diagrams on strongrate.us are protected by copyright. You may: - View, print and share pages, and link to any page. - Quote short passages with a link to the source page. - Copy tables and specifications into your own project documents, submittals and specifications for evaluating or buying Strongrate products, if you keep the values, the date and the source unchanged. - Read the site with automated tools that follow [robots.txt](https://www.strongrate.us/robots.txt), including the markdown copy of each page and [llms.txt](https://www.strongrate.us/llms.txt). You may not: - Present Strongrate data as another manufacturer’s data, or change values while keeping Strongrate’s name on them. - Copy the site wholesale or republish it as your own. - Use the site or its forms to send spam, malicious code or false requests, or to interfere with how the site runs. - Use the site in any way that breaks the law. ## Who owns the Strongrate name? Strongrate is the brand name of Nantong Strongrate Co., Ltd. No US trademark application or registration for STRONGRATE was found in public trademark searches, so this site does not use the ® symbol with it. Names of standards bodies, certifiers and other companies, such as ASTM, DNV and OSHA, are used only to identify their documents and do not mean they endorse Strongrate. ## What happens when I send a form? Sending a form is a request, not an order, and it creates no obligation on either side. Please give accurate information; we may decline any request. We aim to answer quote requests within 1 business day (US Central time); the reply confirms routing and next steps. If your request is under about 500 sq ft, or needed in under 3 weeks, we forward it to a US stocking importer. That importer quotes and sells from its own US stock under its own terms; neither we nor Nantong Strongrate Co., Ltd. is the seller in that sale. How we share your details is set out in the [privacy policy](https://www.strongrate.us/privacy/). > **Payment safety.** No payment is taken, and no card or bank details are asked for, through this website. If a message asks you to pay into a new or changed bank account, treat it as suspect: before paying, confirm the change by phone using contact details from the written quote or order confirmation you already hold, never details given in that message. ## Are links to other websites covered? The site links to standards bodies, certificates, public records and the factory’s own site, strongrate.com. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. Files you share with us through Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive or similar services stay subject to those services’ terms. ## What are the limits of our responsibility? The site and its content are provided as is, for general information. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for loss or damage that results from relying on the site’s content without the checks described above, or from the site being unavailable. Product warranties are only those stated in the written terms of sale for an order; the website itself gives no warranty. Nothing in these terms limits liability that the law does not allow to be limited. ## Which law governs these terms? The law that governs these website terms, the venue for disputes about the site and the address for legal notices are given in the summary at the top of these terms. Terms of sale for an order are set in its written quote and order confirmation. Until this is set, raise any concern about the site through the [contact form](https://www.strongrate.us/contact/), and we will try to resolve it with you directly. ## How will we tell you about changes to these terms? We may update these terms. A new version applies from the effective date shown at the top of these terms. Changes do not affect a quote or order already confirmed in writing. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can I copy Strongrate tables from strongrate.us into my project specification? Yes, for evaluating or buying Strongrate products, if you keep the values, date and source unchanged and your engineer checks them against the factory’s written data for the order. Values shown as on request are not published and cannot be specified. ### Who is the seller when strongrate.us refers my order to a US importer? The importer. It quotes and sells from its own US stock under its own terms; neither the operator of strongrate.us nor Nantong Strongrate Co., Ltd. is the seller in that sale. ## Related pages - [Factory-direct fiberglass grating from Strongrate](https://www.strongrate.us/): Factory-direct molded and pultruded fiberglass (FRP) grating made in Nantong, China, for US and Canadian container and project orders; small or urgent orders are referred to US stocking importers. - [Privacy policy](https://www.strongrate.us/privacy/): What the quote, sample and contact forms on strongrate.us collect, who receives it, how cookieless analytics work, and how to ask for a copy or deletion. - [Fiberglass grating warranty and terms of sale](https://www.strongrate.us/buy-direct/terms-warranty-and-returns/): What a Strongrate factory-direct quote and order confirmation state (warranty, payment, Incoterm, inspection, cancellation and returns), the shipping documents, and published US terms of sale for comparison. - [Fiberglass grating price per sq ft](https://www.strongrate.us/pricing/fiberglass-grating-price/): Fiberglass grating prices per square foot and per panel: dated US market benchmarks, what moves the price, and how Strongrate quotes factory-direct prices per project. - [Fiberglass grating load tables](https://www.strongrate.us/resources/fiberglass-grating-load-tables/): The load tables in Strongrate’s catalog for each product, and how to read fiberglass grating load tables: uniform and line loads by span, deflection limits and safety factors. **Request a quote:** https://www.strongrate.us/request-quote/ · Order a sample: https://www.strongrate.us/samples/ — Need a price you can rely on?
