Bar grating is designed for many applications. Bar grating is a strong choice for projects ranging from trenches and stair treads to decking and steel flooring. Used as metal grates, bar grating covers open areas in flooring that require light, liquid, air, heat and sound to pass between flooring levels. Meanwhile, many industrial companies put our bar grating to use as floor grating for these reasons and more. For instance, our serrated carbon steel bar grating provides extra grip when walking, and our Titeweld™ bar grating makes it possible for maximum "roll-a-bility" when a wheelchair, hand truck, cart or vehicle is in use.
At Direct Metals, our aluminum grating and various types of steel grating make up our bar grating product line. What is the difference aluminum and steel grating? Take a look at the metal grating information below!
Aluminum Bar Grating is a good choice when a lightweight, corrosion resistant material is desired. Choose from many options such as flush top, rectangular bar, plank, & I-bar. Aluminum grating is available in the swage locked, pressure locked (dove tail) and riveted design.
Carbon Steel Bar Grating is a nice choice when your project requires a strong material and you are not going to expose the grating to an expressly corrosive environment. Choose from plain or serrated surfaces, galvanized, standard black, bare steel or painted and light or heavy duty grating.
Stainless Steel Bar Grating provides a superior corrosive & oxidation resistant material in a material stronger than aluminum.
TiteWeld™ Steel Bar Grating is our super narrow welded grating ideal for those very tight spacing requirements when you need maximum "roll-a-bility."
Stair Tread Bar Grating is typically offered in a welded construction and is made with a nosing that is welded to the leading edge of the tread.
Architectural Bar Grating is designed for industrial and architectural applications. It is a strong choice for projects ranging from sunshades, fencing, building facades, walkways, ornamental grilles or any visually attractive project.
Anchoring Devices attach bar grating to its supports. We offer saddle clips, anchor blocks, plank clips, countersunk lands, grating clamps, Z clips, and plank lugs. Many are available in aluminum, stainless steel and galvanized steel.
