STEEL GRATING

STANDARD MESH TYPES - Stock width of panels, 2' and 3'. Stock length panels 20' and 24'. For 3/16" main bars 5/16" hexagonal cross bars are used. For 1/8" main bars 1/4" hexagonal bars are used.

CLOSE MESH TYPES - Stock width of panels, 2' and 3'. Stock length panels 20' and 24'. For 3/16" main bars 5/16" hexagonal cross bars are used. For 1/8" main bars 1/4" hexagonal cross bars are used.

SURFACES

SMOOTH SURFACES - Smooth surface steel grating is available in a wide variety of materials for many applications.

SERRATED SURFACES - Serrated surfaces are available on many types of grating. The serrated surface provides a safe, slip-resistant surface. These surfaces offer more secure footing where a variety of liquids such as oil, chemicals, or water are present.

FLATTENED EXPANDED METAL

Flattened expanded metal is manufactured by passing the standard expanded sheet through a cold roll reducing mill. Flattened expanded metal turns the strands and bonds down to provide a flattened surface, reducing the thickness (gauge) and elongating the pattern. Thickness may vary plus or minus 10% from published dimensions.

STANDARD EXPANDED METAL

Standard expanded metal as it comes from the press. The strands and bonds are set at a uniform angle to the plane on the sheet. This gives added strength and rigidity, as well as skid-resistant surface. Standard expanded metal is abbreviated XM.

GRATING

Grating is a standard expanded metal pattern produced from heavier gauge low carbon steel plates. Strands and the openings of grating are considerably larger than other meshes. It is ideal for use wherever a strong, durable, lightweight surface is needed. Although used primarily for pedestrian traffic, grating can accommodate heavier loads if properly supported.

GRIP STRUT® Safety Grating

GRIP STRUT® is a lightweight metal grating designed for safety underfoot. The unique one-piece diamond shaped construction provides slip resistance in all directions. GRIP STRUT® is ideally suited for all walking/working surfaces where mud, ice, snow, grease, oil and detergents create slippery or hazardous conditions.

PERF-O GRIP® Grating

Perf-O Grip® is a plank metal grating offering a slightly less aggressive surface than Grip Strut®. Perf-O Grip® is made with a round hole pattern. Perf-O Grip's® light weight and resilient design makes the product easy to handle and install producing a very economical installed cost.
