WHY???

Why ? Because whatever your motivation, things which you are presenting as factual and truthful are in fact incorrect and misleading. You have the right to express an opinion, but when you start to post authoritatively about specifics from what appears to be an uninformed position... That's when I take exception.

We only have your word that What I am saying in wrong. and you seem to have a vested interest in wanting people to believe that some waffle boards like for like are better than others. I have absolutely no interest other than not wanting people to fork out loads of money. When they can buy the same thing for half the price.
As far as I am concerned my word is as good as yours. I have provided proof that waffle boards are made from floor gratings I'm still waiting for proof that there are waffle boards out there that were never designed as floor gratings, and are made to a higher specification.

You have more than my word.... you or anyone else can see for yourself by just comparing the two products. Since you are going to be at Billing, just wander over to our stand, (you don't even need to speak to anyone so we won't try and influence you or sell you any), and look with your own eyes at the waffles. They are different to the floor grating offcuts... they have sealed edges.... they are longer than most of the grating offcuts sold... the surface finish is different to the floor grating material..... and yes, they are more expensive.
Once you have done this, you can make your own choice about whether it is worth the extra money for a set. Some people think it is, some think it isn't. That is the way of the world.
Whatever you may wish to imply, my interest in this conversation is not to sell waffles, but to make sure that people have the correct information about what is available. To correct you once again, people cannot buy the same thing for half the money. They can buy a similar product for half the money and for many people this will be absolutely fine and will do everything they need.
I'm not sure why you are finding it so hard to accept that there are different grades of product here just in the same way there are cheap tyres and expensive tyres, cheap springs and expensive springs, etc, etc.
If you'd like to talk to me in person about it, I'll be happy to spend some time to discuss the finer points at the show.

The 'Floor grating' off cuts as you call them come in different specs yes. But if you buy from someone who knows the spec then you should be OK as all floor gratting is designed to given safety specs. My contact can get 38mm gritted or un gritted and these have a spec that will support a 2 1/2 tonne vehicle across a 1' gapp easily. He can also get 50mm in gritted or un-gritted and heavey duty 50mm which we are told will support 25 tonne over a 1' span. The advantage of the off cuts as you call them is that with in reason you can specify width and length and my contact can supply. So if you want a short length or even small off cuts for you Caravan to sit on he will do them as well as lengths longer than normaly suplied. No comparrison test have be done I agree but the industrial flooring is of similar or higher spec than other waffle boards out there. The only proof we have of their capability is that several teams in the Howling Wolf Challenge series are now using 38mm waffles supplied by my contact. I have even spoken to suppliers and they admit cutting up larger sheet for some of the countries leading 4x4 suppliers who then sell it on as bespoke sand ladders.
