Types of Aluminum Grating
-
Swaged Aluminum Grating:
-
Made by mechanically locking cross bars to bearing bars using a swaging process.
-
Features clean lines and high open area, suitable for industrial walkways and platforms.
-
Available with serrated surfaces for added slip resistance.
-
-
Press-Locked Aluminum Grating:
-
Bars are interlocked under hydraulic pressure, providing strong lateral stability.
-
Ideal for architectural designs due to its clean look and tight spacing.
-
-
Plank Aluminum Grating:
-
Made from single-piece metal sheets with diamond-shaped openings for enhanced slip resistance.
-
Suitable for walkways, ramps, and platforms.
-
-
I-Bar Aluminum Grating:
-
Uses “I” shaped bearing bars, offering high load capacity with reduced weight.
-
Cost-effective solution for walkways, vents, and flooring.
-
