Grating materials, also known as steel grating, are high-strength construction materials used in industrial facilities for their versatility and corrosion resistance. Grated materials offer greater security, safety and strength while remaining durable and lightweight compared to solid metal.

Industrial facilities worldwide use galvanized steel grating, aluminium grating and various forms of bar grating. At Argus Steel, we offer high-quality grating materials for a wide variety of uses.

Types of Grating Materials

There are several different types of grating materials that offer different benefits and use cases. Choosing the right type of grating material is important to ensure it meets your ideal strength, corrosion resistance and load requirements.

Steel Bar Grating

Steel bar grating is constructed in welded, pressure-locked and riveted designs. It’s also available with plain or serrated surfaces designed for traction and efficiency. Additionally, steel bar grating offers an open-grid design that is ideal for reducing debris buildup on surfaces and improving ventilation and drainage. It’s best for dry indoor uses where corrosion isn’t a factor.

You might use steel bar grating for:

  • Drainage covers.
  • Vent grates.
  • Industrial flooring.
  • Walkways and catwalks.

Galvanized Bar Grating

Galvanized bar grating offers all the benefits and features of steel bar grating with an additional zinc coating that protects against rust and corrosion. In industrial facilities, galvanized bar grating can significantly extend the service life of equipment and systems. It also provides high load-bearing capacity in humid, rainy or moist environments.

You can use galvanized bar grating for:

  • Storm drain covers.
  • Laboratories and medical equipment.
  • External platforms and walkways.
  • Parking lots and trenches.

Stainless Steel Bar Grating

Stainless steel bar grating is made of stainless steel alloys. Typically, stainless steel bar grating is available in type 304 or type 316 stainless steel, making it naturally corrosion resistant without the need for a galvanized coating. This type of grating material is also available in serrated textures and offers a clean, modern finish, very strong service life and natural fire resistance.

You might use stainless steel bar grating for:

  • Public infrastructure, such as bridges and railings.
  • Chemical and medical facilities.
  • Temperature-controlled pharmaceutical plants.
  • Marine applications.

Aluminum Bar Grating

Known for its strong yet lightweight design, aluminum bar grating is a great choice for most industrial facilities. It’s made with aluminum alloy bars that are often crossed, welded and textured for grip. Aluminum bar grating carries lower structural load stress due to its light weight, making it a popular choice for applications that require both aesthetics and strength.

You can use aluminum bar grating for:

  • HVAC systems.
  • Rooftop platforms.
  • Shelves designed for heavy loads.
  • Walkways and ramps.
