Bar Grating Materials and Finishes

Bar Grating

Untreated carbon steel grating, also known as bar grating, is a highly popular choice for areas where corrosion resistance is not a critical factor. Available in a variety of spacings, bar grating offers lightweight strength and versatility.

Galvanized Steel Grating

Galvanized steel grating or painted grating is recommended in high traffic areas or locations susceptible to excessive wear, rust and other types of environmental corrosion. Galvanization is a process where bar grating stock is dipped in molten zinc, providing a tough and corrosion resistant finish. Wear-resistant painted finishes are also available in a wide array of colors.

Serrated Carbon Steel Bar Grating

Serrated carbon steel bar grating is designed for anti-slip protection. Processed with a serrated top edge, serrated carbon steel bar grating is a very popular option for areas where slip protection is critical. Galvanized serrated grating products are used for flooring, catwalks, mezzanines, decking, stair treads, fencing, ramps, docks, trench covers, drainage pit covers, maintenance platforms, wash racks, ventilation screens, storage racks, window and machinery safeguards, factories, workshops, motor rooms, trolley channels, heavy loading areas, boiler equipment and in heavy equipment areas.

Aluminum Grating

Aluminum grating products are highly prized for their strength, lightweight performance, and corrosion resistance. Metals USA has a wide selection of aluminum grating sizes and spacings available for your ongoing projects.

Heavy Duty Metal Grating

Heavy-Duty steel grating can often be the preferred option over standard gauges for applications such as highways, airport runways, bridge floors, and wheel traffic applications.
