Most supplying steel gratings are produced according to the drawing. There are design and technical departments in our company, the specialist in these departments have many years of development experience.

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.

Metal grating includes a wide variety of low-maintenance, durable, and versatile metal products used in all kinds of load-bearing projects across many industries. The specifics of the metal grating you need, including the metal type, production, spacing, finish, etc., is determined by the required strength, size, location, and usage of your project.
This quick guide to metal grating and steel grating types covers all the basics you need to know to get started on your next project.

Each type of metal grating has unique elements that make it ideal for particular types of applications and projects. Generally, metal grating is seen as the ideal solution for durable, low-maintenance, and safe applications:
Shunbo Steel Grating are exported all over the world and different industries with quality first. Our belief is to provide our customers with more and better high value-added products. Let's create a better future together.
However, this list is far from all-inclusive. If you don’t see your specific project type, we encourage you to speak with a steel expert at Service Steel to see if metal grating can still meet your needs.
Metal grating is valued for providing a secure and stable surface for walking and working, and can be produced and/or treated to provide a strong grip and traction. The materials used in all metal grating and the way it is constructed give metal grating a high strength-to-weight ratio, making it perfect for heavy-duty projects. When used as a protective covering or barrier, metal grating can also provide protection against large debris while also allowing ventilation and drainage.
You can create metal grating using all kinds of metal, but the most common are aluminum and several types of steel, including light-duty steel, stainless steel, and heavy-duty carbon steel. Aluminum metal grating is most often used in marine and wastewater conditions. Steel is often used for more heavy-duty applications. Steel can also be galvanized, making it more durable, weather resistant, and long-lasting.
The metal grating experts at Service Steel are happy to provide guidance on which grating material is best for your project.
Steel grating types are differentiated by how the metal is processed and configured. The different processes used to create metal gratings include expansion, perforation, molding, and welding.
Different steel grating types include:
Here, we will cover the two most common types of metal grating—steel bar grating and expanded steel grating—in greater detail.
Steel bar grating is typically made by welding together connected sets of parallel and perpendicular bars to create a grid that provides excellent traction while simultaneously allowing liquid, light, heat, air, and sound to pass through. Compared to a heavy solid sheet of steel, steel bar grating is relatively lightweight, but is still exceptionally strong and perfectly suited to load-bearing tasks. Its most common applications include industrial flooring, fire escapes, stair treads, and street drains.
Expanded steel grating is made by cutting slits into a grating metal sheet, then pulling the sheet so that the slits expand. This process is more economical than perforating because no metal is lost when cutting the slits (as opposed to punching holes). When the sheet is expanded, the slits create the diamond pattern that is so characteristic of expanded steel grating.
Like steel bar grating, expanded steel grating is perfect for projects in which it is beneficial for liquid, light, heat, air, and sound to be able to pass through a surface. Expanded steel grating is thinner than bar grating but sturdier than wire mesh. The result is a metal product that can be used for many types of flooring but is also useful in lighter applications such as fencing or even ornamentation.
Like steel bar grating, you will need to consider several factors when selecting expanded steel grating for your project. These include sheet thickness and finish as discussed above, but also the opening length (or the diamond size).
There are many factors to consider when choosing metal grating, so it’s essential that you purchase your materials from a reputable and knowledgeable supplier who can help you find the right metal grating solution for the parameters of your project. When looking for a supplier, make sure that you:
