Galvanized & Stainless Steel Expanded Metal Grating
Galvanized expanded metal grating is a type of metal sheeting created via an industrial die-cutting machine. The machine uses a row of blades moving in a back-and-forth pattern to cut and stretch the metal. Metal grates have a greater load capacity than sheet metal, reducing the risk of buckling.
Manufacturing Galvanized Metal Sheet Grating
Triple-S Steel® utilizes a weld-forge method. The weld-force method involves joining the bearing bars to the cross bars with intense heat and force to create a sturdy panel. By pressing and welding, we create a homogeneous unit of intersection points, allowing for high-force absorption.
In addition to strength, the expanded metal grating is also lightweight.
Uses for Galvanized Expanded Metal Grating
Metal grating allows liquid, light, and air to flow through the grate as necessary while increasing the stability and load-bearing capacity of the metal sheet.
Uses for galvanized and stainless steel expanded metal grating include:
- Walkways
- Barriers
- Stairways
- Fire escapes
- Ceiling panels
- Ground support equipment
The galvanized treatment aids in corrosion and fatigue resistance, which is most commonly necessary for industrial flooring, stair treads, and platforms.
Expanded metal grating comes in a single piece that doesn't rust or disintegrate and will maintain its shape for years. Its flexibility and durability make it an optimal choice for industries that rely on load-bearing and heavy-duty applications, such as the architectural, power and energy, agricultural, and transportation industries.
