If you’re diving into architecture, industrial design, or even just curious about building materials, then you’ve probably come across aluminum grating. Or you may have learned about the parameters of aluminum bar grating through our previous post. But today we are introducing the material – aluminum walkway grating. It may sound like just another component of aluminum grating, but it has some unique features that make it stand out. So let’s stroll down this metal trail and explore what makes aluminum walkway grating so special.
What is aluminum walkway grating?
First of all, it’s made of a high-strength aluminum material. Aluminum walkway grating is essentially a series of aluminum strips arranged in a grid pattern. This grid structure creates a durable and lightweight surface that can hold a lot of weight while allowing air, light, and liquids to pass through. This material can be used for pedestrian walkways, safety walkways, and viewing platforms, among other things.
Why use it as a walkway material?
First of all, aluminum itself is extremely resistant to corrosion, which makes it particularly suitable for outdoor use. This advantage is all the more important as walkways have to cope with various weather conditions or chemical environments. Secondly, aluminum walkway grating is often treated with a special cross-section to enhance its anti-slip properties.
Plus, aluminum has a long service life and requires very little maintenance, so it remains in good condition for a prolonged period. This is why aluminum walkway grating is so popular for outdoor projects. These materials are available in the following finishes: glossy, anodized, and painted.
Introduction to HY Industries aluminum walkway grating
At HY Industries, we offer a wide range of sturdy and durable aluminum walkway grating designed to meet the highest standards of safety and durability. Our Expanded product line has been specifically designed for optimal strength and slip resistance, making it ideal for a variety of industrial and commercial applications. No matter what your needs are for a walkway, we have a product to meet them. Let’s dive into the specifics of each product in this remarkable line.
EWG13
The EWG13 model is a versatile and practical choice for creating safe walkways in industrial and commercial environments. It is one of the widest gap walkway grating products available. Its design ensures a strong and stable surface that can withstand high weights while providing excellent slip resistance. The EWG13 is the ideal choice for safety and reliability.
EWG22 Diamond Mesh
EWG22 diamond mesh stands out with its unique diamond pattern mesh that enhances grip and prevents slips and falls. This design not only ensures safety but also provides effective drainage and ventilation, making it suitable for areas exposed to the natural environment. Compared to the EWG13 the clearance is smaller and more sizes are available.
EWG30
Available in a wider range of sizes, this type of safety walkway is designed for environments where maximum safety is required. The EWG30 surface also features the addition of wire-toothed finished strips of aluminum for enhanced slip resistance, making it a reliable walkway solution that can withstand heavy foot traffic and harsh environments. This model is ideal for industrial facilities where safety cannot be compromised.
EWG40
The EWG40 takes safety to a new level with its superior slip resistance. It has less clearance and avoids the risk of things falling off. The level of resistance to compression is also second to none, and the EWG40 also offers an unrivaled grip, ensuring that every step taken on it is safe and secure. It is therefore the best choice for skid prevention in high-risk areas.
Planking
Planking is not part of EWG’s range, but this versatile product is also ideal for use on ramps, walkways, and flat stairs where walking is required. Depending on the type of perforation, it is also available with a non-slip serrated surface, making it suitable for a wide range of architectural environments.
Conclusion
Now you know the unique features of aluminum walkway grating. Aluminum is lightweight, durable, corrosion-resistant, and requires low maintenance, all of which make it ideal for a variety of applications.
