For architects and contractors, bar grating is an ideal choice for projects ranging from trenches and stair treads to decking and steel flooring. Used as metal grates, bar grating is unique as it covers open areas in flooring that require light, liquid, air, heat and sound to pass between flooring levels.

Ideal for trenches, stair treads, decking and steel flooring
By Tom HooverMany companies use bar grating for flooring because it is both versatile and strong. Serrated carbon steel bar grating provides extra grip on slippery surfaces for walking. Bar grating can be used in a variety of applications such as bridge flooring, trench covers, walkways, ramps, platforms, catwalks and mezzanine floors for floor grating or surface needs. Bar grating is available in materials such as aluminum and various types of steel grating.
Aluminum bar grating is an ideal choice when a lightweight, corrosion-resistant material is desired. Aluminum grating can be used for a variety of industrial applications, due its versatile and durable properties. There are many options for aluminum bar grating, such as rectangular bar, flush top, riveted, plank and I-bar aluminum bar grating products. Aluminum grating is non-toxic, resilient and durable. In addition, it is corrosion resistant, lightweight, and can easily be recycled, fabricated or customized.
One of the most common methods of manufacturing aluminum grating is through a swaging process. Swaged aluminum bar grating is defined as “Grating in which the cross bars are mechanically locked to the bearing bars at their intersections by deforming or swaging the metal.” Modern swaging technology is available to provide attached intersections. A mechanically attached joint can give aluminum grating a long-lasting life under normal service conditions. Another common type of aluminum grating is press lock grating. This type of aluminum grating has bars that are assembled together mechanically. The bars of this aluminum grating are locked into place by a hydraulic pressing process.
Carbon steel bar grating is a great choice when your project requires a strong material that won’t be exposed to an expressly corrosive environment. Bar grating is ideal for industrial steel grating flooring and metal grates. Plain or serrated bar grating surfaces come in galvanized, bare steel or painted finishes.
A common bar grating application is drainage grates, which are an integral part of the interior of industrial plants, and the exterior landscape all around us. Also known as bar grating trench grating, these grates permit the passage of light, heat and liquid, and therefore are useful in screening out unwanted elements and debris in various settings.
Steel grates are also functional for industrial decks and flooring in chemical plants, food processing facilities, and oil and gas refineries. Metal grates are ideal for these applications, since they allow liquid to pass through the material, which helps to prevent slippery and hazardous work conditions. In addition, pedestrians rely on metal grates on public walkways, and near fountains and trees.
TiteWeld Steel Bar Grating is ideal for very tight spacing requirements and maximum “roll-ability” requirements. TiteWeld steel bar grating is suitable for applications requiring bearing bars placed close together. The 7/16-inch on-center bearing bar spacing is safe for high-heel traffic.
TiteWeld bar grating satisfies both American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) loading strength, and ADA comfort requirements for wheel chairs and walking pedestrians. Steel grating and floor grating are excellent end applications for TiteWeld bar grating.
Architectural bar grating can be used for many applications including sunshades, railing infill panels, water fountain features and pedestrian areas. It has tight spacing for ADA and high-heel traffic, or wide spacing for maximum open area.

Common uses for this product include flooring, driveways, subways and tunnel ventilation grilles, curb inlet grates, ramps, and docks.
Areas that support heavy loads need a product that is durable, strong, and safe. Our Heavy Duty steel bar grating is resistance-welded using an automated electric hydraulic welding process, which uses high temperatures and high pressure to fuse the bearing bars and cross bars together to form a strong, permanent joint. This process creates grating that can support loads in airfields, industrial plants, truck and bus terminals, parking lots, and railroad yards.
