Common Applications

Heavy-duty expanded metal grating is produced from aluminum, stainless, or carbon steel sheet and plate which contains no joints or welds, as each sheet is a single piece of sturdy steel. Lightweight and economical, expanded metal grating is ideal for use wherever a strong, durable lightweight surface is needed. It is the standard product specified by engineers and managers for use in:

  • Catwalks, ramps, stairs, platforms
  • Maintenance platforms
  • Elevated walkways
  • Mezzanines and heavy duty shelving
  • Truck-cab safety screens, vehicle flooring, and transport protection
  • Ship and offshore rig flooring
  • Partitions where high security is important
  • Security fencing
  • Industrial stairs, window protection, and doors

Generally, carbon steel expanded metal grating works well wherever a durable, cost-effective, non-slip surface is required.

The high percentage of open area, characteristic of expanded metal grating, allows snow, water, and oil to drain off easily, thus maintaining the excellent slip-resistant surface. The same high percentage of open area also allows excellent passage of heat and light and contributes to walkway cleanliness. Where building maintenance and safety are important considerations, these features are outstanding.

What Are the Advantages of Expanded Metal Grating and Catwalk Grating?

Carbon steel expanded metal grating provides a reliable anti-slip surface ideally suited for industrial facilities and other areas requiring enhanced walking safety. It also features a high percentage of open area that allows snow, grease, dirt, and other debris to fall through.

Expanded metal flooring and other grating products are easy to install and require little maintenance. What’s more, expanded metal grating comes at a much lower price point than traditional bar gratings, providing an economical solution for cost-conscious companies with tight budget restrictions.
