Expanded metal grating is lightweight, durable, inexpensive and provides excellent traction. It does not require special equipment or tools for installation, making it an ideal material for industrial walkways and stair treads.
Its ridged tread surface provides safer footing while allowing maximum passage of light and air. Heavy-duty expanded metal lath can provide significant savings compared with other steel grating alternatives. Expanded steel grating mainly has two types: light type and heavy type.
The junctions of the strand and bond form a ridged surface for improved traction. The grating is formed like a truss, so every interconnected strand acts as a structural member and distributes load stress in several directions across the supporting frame.
The angular position of the strand and bond makes expanded metal lath stronger in deflection than steel plate material in its original form.
Expanded metal grating combines structural strength, traction, ventilation and economical installation for industrial applications.
Made from one continuous piece of material, providing a greater strength to weight ratio.
There are no welded parts and the surface is naturally skid proof without further processing.
Different patterns and openings provide a wide range of load capacities for project requirements.
Expanded steel grating provides a practical and economical way to achieve strength, safety and traction.
It can be installed quickly by welding or bolting without requiring special installation equipment.
The material can be easily cut into irregular shapes to suit different installation requirements.
Expanded metal grating is available in different materials, patterns, surface treatments and dimensions according to application requirements.

Expanded metal grating is broadly applied where strength, safety, anti-skid performance, ventilation and heat dissipation are required.
Expanded metal grating provides a practical combination of structural strength, traction, airflow and economical installation.
The ridged surface formed by the strand and bond improves traction and provides a naturally anti-skid walking surface.
Openings permit maximum passage of light and air, making the grating suitable for walkways, platforms and ventilated areas.
The truss-like structure distributes load stress across the supporting frame through interconnected strands.
Expanded steel grating is available in light and heavy types for different load and application requirements.
