From the perspective of production mode, press-locked steel grating is more beautiful. Press-locked steel grating is produced without welding. Therefore, compared with welded steel grating, its corrosion resistance is relatively strong. But from the perspective of price and practicality, welded steel grating is better.

Yes, we can. There are three anti-skid serration types of welded steel grating and press-locked steel grating. You can learn about the specific situation of anti-skid serration in the two product details page.

If choose our company, each customer can enjoy a certain discount. And each customer will be assigned a manager who is responsible for working with the business.

We provide both welded steel gratings and press-locked steel gratings. Plain and serrated surfaces are available for all steel gratings. In addition, we have flat bar and I bar for bearing bars

For more information about our steel gratings, please refer to welded steel gratings and press-locked steel gratings.

For regular steel gratings, the area is equal to the length multiplied by the width, including the area of holes and notches; For irregular shape steel gratings, the area is the area of the steel grating before cutting instead of the area of irregular shape steel grating.

You'd better provide us with your structure drawings and detailed parameters. In this way, we can provide you with better services. Based on the information provided, we will recommend a steel grating that is perfect for your application, greatly saving your time and money.

Our prices are not fixed. The price of steel grating is subject to the size, type, length, width, surface finish and shape of the cross bar. You can tell us your requirements so that we can quote you as soon as possible.

We have a variety of raw materials for steel gratings, including carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminum. Each material has its own advantages. Carbon steel gratings are good for areas with high-traffic floor areas; stainless steel gratings are suitable for areas with high temperature and certain corrosive environments; Characterized by lightweight and corrosion-resistant, aluminum gratings are suitable for situations where strength to weight ratio is important, such as wastewater treatment plants.

It is an internationally accepted coding method for steel gratings. Of which, W stands for welded steel grating. 19 represents the spacing between bearing bars is 1-3/16 "on center while 4 means the spacing between cross bars is 4" on center.

With competitive price and timely delivery, Shunbo Steel Grating sincerely hope to be your supplier and partner.

Metal Grating: Types, Standards and Uses - MetalsCut4U

Understanding the types of metal grating is essential when selecting the right material for your project. Each type has distinct characteristics and is suited to different applications. Below are the most popular types of metal grating.

  • Expanded Metal Grating

Expanded metal grating is produced by taking a flat sheet of metal and then stretching or expanding it to create a diamond-shaped pattern. This process ensures that the metal retains its strength and rigidity while providing an open mesh structure. It is commonly used in applications where a high level of visibility and ventilation is required.

  • Perforated Metal

Perforated metal grating is made by punching holes into a sheet of metal in a pattern. This type of grating is frequently used in industries where filtration, drainage, or lightweight construction is necessary. The hole patterns in perforated metal grating can vary in size and shape, depending on the specific project requirements.

  • Bar Grating

Bar grating is one of the most commonly used types of metal grating. It is made by welding or forging metal bars together to form a grid pattern. However, other methods also exist to join the bars together. The bars can be arranged in either a parallel or a perpendicular configuration, depending on the intended application. There are several bar grating types, including light-duty, heavy-duty, and custom options.

  • Wire Mesh

Wire mesh grating consists of metal wires arranged in a grid pattern and typically welded at the intersections. This type of grating is ideal for applications that need a flexible and lightweight solution. Wire mesh is often used in fencing, screening, and industrial purposes where the strength-to-weight ratio is essential.

  • Safety Grating

Safety grating is designed to prevent slip hazards, offering superior traction underfoot. It is often used in walkways, stair treads, and other high-traffic areas where safety is a top priority. This type of grating features a serrated surface to provide added grip, even in wet or slippery conditions.
