Stainless steel grates are an important component in the construction of safe and profitable industrial buildings. Steel Grating is dependable support surfaces assist workers in regularly performing their responsibilities and reduce the potential for workplace accidents when properly designed and implemented.

Our gratings are more portable and straightforward to install. These are durable and composed of high-quality materials. In many businesses, slips and falls pose serious risks that can lead to injury and lost workdays. Our gratings include concave and grating surfaces, which are both effective at resisting slipping in greasy and wet conditions and have consistently decreased falls and incidents in industrial facilities.

Advantages of steel grating:

Strength:

The strength of steel is a key characteristic that is acknowledged in many architectural and structural contexts. Compared with numerous other metals, it has excellent tensile strength, which means it can withstand significant pressure and weight before beginning to strain and distort. Different strength ratings apply to steel and its various variations based on the precise composition of the final product. Among the many possibilities available, stainless steel is a top choice since it is durable enough to support a number of industrial uses and offers additional advantages. 

Sustainability:

Steel is extremely sustainable and can be crushed down and remade indefinitely without degrading the strength of its structure. It recycles 90% of its waste worldwide. However, some detractors have noted that the enormous energy required to melt out the steel over reuse may ultimately do more harm.

Clean and hygienic:

One of the main advantages of using Steel Grating is its hygienic nature. Steel is easy and smooth to clean, and trash won't get caught in ridges or holes because of this. Steel is a substance that can tolerate the growth of microorganisms and other potentially harmful contaminants. For organizations like hospitals and food-serving facilities like commercial kitchens, restaurants as well as food manufacturing plants, steel gratings are increasingly the favoured choice.

Resistance to fire and heat:

The robust performance of stainless steel in the face of challenging circumstances is linked to its general reputation for dependability. It not only resists corrosion in environments that would destroy other kinds of steel, but it also holds strongly to other unfavourable occurrences including collisions, excessive heat, and fire. In these circumstances, more damage can be prevented by using stainless steel grating that is heat and fire-resistant. Stainless steel, particularly protective barriers, can benefit from its resistance to heat in less disastrous situations.  This enhances safety considerations while lowering the price of maintenance and replacement.

Safe and reliable:

One advantage of steel grating is that it has a low profile, which means there are fewer lips for people to trip over. The slot is shorter as well, decreasing the likelihood that it would jam and hurt someone. Steel is a stronger, longer-lasting material. In terms of strength, steel grating performs better than other materials. The steel grating can support bigger weights because to its increased impact resistance. Steel is also a corrosion-resistant material.

Metal gratings vs fibreglass GRP gratings

Metal gratings vs fibreglass GRP gratings

METAL GRATINGS VS FIBREGLASS OR GRP GRATINGS: Comparison

EUROGRATE® has chosen to use fibreglass as a material, rather than metal (or similar materials), because it has all the following advantages:

Metal Gratings (or similar)
Economic benefit
but unexpected additional costs

• Safety-related costs:
  due to the poor slip-resistance of metal gratings when water, grease, oil, ice etc. are present.
  Disadvantages: accidents at work, risk of injury to personnel and consequent reduction in company profitability;
• maintenance costs and low chemical resistance of the material:
  rapid corrosion even in conditions of minimal chemical aggression, leading to a need for frequent replacement;
  if the grating if it is bent out of shape it has to be replaced;
• Manpower costs for installation and transport::
  greater physical effort and the use of lifting equipment for the installation and movement of metal gratings due to their weight which is 3 times more than that of fibreglass gratings; this also has a negative impact on transport costs;
  The new legal requirements also make earthing compulsory adds to the installation costs for metal, in addition to manpower costs and transport;
• cost of shaping, cutting and drilling:
  because metal grating tends to be anisotropric it needs edge banding, an operation with a significant impact on the cost, since once it has been edge banded it needs to be galvanised to keep it from rusting.

Fibreglass gratings (or GRP)
Excellent investment that is maintained
for a long time following installation

• Long-lasting corrosion resistance:
  even in harsh conditions (immersion, or continuous contact) with very aggressive products (e.g. sulphuric or hydrochloric acid);
• comparable mechanical resistance to metal:
  its modulus of elasticity means that it can be subjected to significant bending without permanent distortion.
  Its isotropic characteristics mean that it can be installed in both load-bearing directions.
• Significantly increased safety is guaranteed:
  even in extreme conditions (grease, oil, or waxes) ensured by the special permanent anti-slip surface (DIN standard 51130 class R13-V10).
• Lightweight, simple to install and remove, easy to move;
• Zero maintenance,, easy to cut and shape:
  fibreglass gratings, in contrast to metal gratings, do not need edge banding;
• characteristics of internal resilience: increased profitability
  they alleviate the back pain often experienced by personnel who spend a long time crossing or standing on gratings (ergonomics) resulting in increased profitability;
• insulating and non-magnetic characteristics:
  excellent thermal and electrical insulation with no need for earthing (antistatic and conductive versions available on request);
• self-extinguishing properties of the resins and low toxicity of halogen-free fumes:
  Maximum safety in all environments and protection of personnel in the event of fire.
