A unique combination of properties makes aluminum
one of the most versatile engineering and construction materials.
Its light
weight mass, high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent corrosion
resistance under the majority of service conditions makes it an
excellent material for the manufacturing of bar grating. Aluminum
can be recycled and as a result makes it an environmentally friendly
material unlike some other grating products including fiberglass.
The significant scrap value of aluminum is one of the attributes
that make it a cost effective alternative to other grating products.
Aluminum is durable and will offer years of service without showing
wear or decay.

It is also non- toxic so it can be easily cleaned
and does not absorb bacteria sustaining particles. All these attributes
make aluminum grating an ideal candidate for some special grating
applications. These include sewage and waste water treatment plants,
off-shore drilling rigs, the chemical process industry, the paper
mill industry and marine superstructure applications. Because of
its natural beauty, aluminum grating is also used in many architectural
applications including
fencing, building facades, fountains, nature and wildlife walkways,
entranceways, material screens, security
screens, mezzanine floors, platforms, overhead highway signage, pedestrian
bridge walkways, stage flooring, stair treads, truck grilles, ornamental
grilles, HVAC grilles, parking deck perimeter wall façade, catwalks, outdoor
air access covers, trench grating and aluminum treads. |
