Pedestrian Pathways & Access Surfaces

Flo-Grid®

A versatile modular grid system designed for pedestrian pathways, access ramps and elevated surfaces, providing a practical solution for creating functional, adaptable and structurally supported pedestrian environments.

Atlantis Flo-Grid® 48 mm is a modular recycled polypropylene grid system developed for pedestrian pathways, access ramps, elevated decking and paved surface applications.

Designed for installation over appropriately engineered timber or steel supporting frameworks, Flo-Grid® provides a lightweight, interconnected platform that can function as an exposed walking surface or support compatible paving finishes.

Its modular configuration allows flexibility in surface layout and integration with different supporting structures, making it suitable for projects requiring adaptable pedestrian access solutions.

From elevated walkways and accessible routes to decking and paved terraces, Flo-Grid® offers a practical approach to constructing pedestrian surfaces while accommodating different architectural and site requirements.

Product Design and Function

Interconnecting Modular Design

Flo-Grid® panels incorporate connecting features that allow individual units to be joined together, creating a continuous surface across the required installation area.

The modular configuration supports flexible layouts and adaptation to different pathway geometries.

Integrated connectors join adjacent Flo-Grid® panels, creating a continuous, interconnected surface.

Integrated connectors join adjacent Flo-Grid® panels, creating a continuous, interconnected surface.

Heel-Conscious Surface Geometry

The Flo-Grid® surface features a closely spaced slotted pattern designed to reduce the risk of narrow footwear heels becoming caught within the openings.

This makes the geometry particularly relevant to pedestrian pathways, ramps and other access surfaces where walking comfort and surface usability are important.

Mini Small Plates are installed onto the existing top plate, which serves as the base for the next level.

Flo-Grid® panels feature an integrated interlocking mechanism that connects adjacent modules to create a continuous, aligned surface without separate fastening components.

The Flo-Grid® surface incorporates narrow, elongated drainage openings within a structured rib pattern, providing a pedestrian-oriented surface while allowing water to pass through.

Applications & System Integration

Flo-Grid® can be incorporated into a range of pedestrian access and decking configurations, functioning either as an exposed walking surface or as a modular support layer beneath selected paving finishes. Its interconnecting design allows panels to be assembled into continuous surfaces and secured to suitable supporting structures, accommodating different project layouts and installation requirements.

Decking Systems

Flo-Grid® can be installed directly over timber or steel supporting frameworks to create a continuous, exposed pedestrian decking surface without additional paving materials.

Individual panels are secured to the underlying joists through designated fixing points, while the interconnecting modular design allows adjacent units to form a unified walking surface.

This configuration provides a lightweight alternative to conventional decking materials, with an open-grid structure that allows water to pass through the surface.

Paved Decking Systems

Flo-Grid® can also function as a modular supporting layer beneath selected paving finishes in elevated decking applications.

The panels are mechanically secured to the underlying framework, providing a continuous base over which a geotextile separation layer and paving materials can be installed.

This configuration combines the structural arrangement of a suspended deck with the architectural flexibility of a paved surface, allowing the finished appearance to be adapted to the project’s design requirements.

Pedestrian Pathways & Walkways

Flo-Grid® provides a modular walking surface for pedestrian pathways and elevated access routes, particularly where a supporting framework is required to establish the finished pathway level.

The system can be installed over timber or steel beams and joists supported by suitable foundations, including screw piles where appropriate.

Its interconnected panels create a continuous pedestrian surface that can be configured to accommodate different pathway layouts, with individual units cut to suit changes in alignment or geometry.

Access Ramps

Flo-Grid® can be integrated into inclined supporting frameworks to form continuous pedestrian access ramps.

The modular panels are secured to the underlying joists, following the designed ramp inclination while providing an open-grid walking surface.

The system can be incorporated alongside appropriately designed handrails, landings and threshold transitions, with the supporting structure and overall ramp geometry determined by project-specific accessibility and engineering requirements.
