Perforated Safety grating is a a one-piece metal plank grating made from steel sheet that has been perforated with a regular pattern of holes and with formed side channels. This grating is designed to create a lightweight, durable, and slip-resistant surface that can support heavy loads. The perforated buttons provide a walking surface that is slip resistant in all directions and approximately 35% open area allows water, light, and air to pass through, making it a practical choice for a variety of applications.
During manufacture, holes can be punched into the grating surface. A rectangular hole pattern is standard. A round hole, square hole or solid surface pattern is also available by special order.

Features
Slip Resistance: The perforated surface provides excellent non-slip properties under all weather conditions.
Load Bearing: Despite being lightweight, perforated gratings can support high loads, making them suitable for heavy traffic areas.
Durability: Steel construction ensures a long service life and resistance to wear and tear.
Maintenance: The grating is easy to clean and requires minimal maintenance.
Versatility: Perforated gratings can be easily fabricated to fit various shapes and configurations.
Safety: The edges of the holes can be deburred to prevent injury from sharp edges.
Applications
Perforated steel grating is widely used in various sectors due to its versatility and safety features. Common applications include:
Industrial Flooring: For platforms, catwalks, and ramps in manufacturing plants, power plants, or other industrial settings.
Architectural Design: Used in facades, ceilings, and as decorative elements that provide aesthetics as well as functionality.
Stair Treads: Providing safe and durable steps for industrial, commercial, or public use.
Walkways: In parks, at outdoor venues, or in other pedestrian areas where slip resistance is important.
Drainage Covers: Allowing efficient water drainage while maintaining a walkable surface in wet areas.
Transportation: On the decks of ships, trains, and other transport vehicles for safe footing.
Security Barriers: As protective screens or barriers where visibility and airflow are necessary.
