Riveted Grating

Riveted Gratings

Riveted Gratings are manufactured by cold-press riveting straight bearing bars to crimped rectangular flat bars. Our oldest products, riveted gratings offer superior resistance to impact, fatigue and repetitive loads.

Materials

Riveted gratings are available in carbon steel, 6000 series aluminum and 300 series stainless steels. These products are manufactured with bearing bars spaced either 1-1/8″ or 3/4″ apart and the standard rivet spacing is 7 inches on center. Optional close rivet spacing of 3-1/2″ on center is also available.

Serrated Surface

The standard method of manufacturing serrated riveted grating is to serrate the crimped cross member. When assembled, these cross members are raised slightly above the top surface of the bearing bars to provide a superior unidirectional slip-resistant surface. If your application is particularly prone to unsafe walking conditions, consider specifying “100% Serrated” grating where both the bearing bars and cross members are provided with serrations.

Louver Grating

Louver Grate

LG-Louver Series

Manufactured from aluminum extrusions, “LG” series louver grate is designed to offer an economical solution for architectural applications. Available in four popular patterns with total or partial visual concealment, all “LG” series products offer a minimum 63% open air flow. Popular applications include:

  • Sunscreens
  • Visual Barriers
  • Security Screens
  • Fencing

Vertical/Horizontal

The unique flexibility of the “LG” series allows architectural freedom for both vertical and horizontal applications. Vertical applications allow for maximum air flow and resist the accumulation of snow, rain, dirt and debris. Screening of parking structures and visual concealment of unsightly ventilation or mechanical equipment is easily accomplished. Installed horizontally, the multiple tilt patterns provide options for sunscreens and building facades. Once again the high percentage of open area allows for important air circulation and the free passage of moisture.

Finishes

The natural corrosion resistance and beauty of mill finish aluminum can be enhanced with clear anodizing. Other popular anodizing options include light and dark bronze shades. Powder coating, epoxy and Kynar finishes are available in the complete RAL color palette. Properly applied, these finishes offer years of continuing service in colors designed to complement the look and feel of adjacent architecture.

Fabrication

“LG” series products are easily fabricated to any size and configuration. Radial or diagonal cuts accommodate “free-form” design beyond simple squares and rectangles. Louvers can be welded into component framework and quickly bolted to the supporting structure with limited field labor. All fabrication can be completed prior to coating, maximizing the integrity of the finish.

VisiShield panels placed horizontally provide solar protection at building entrance.

Swage-Locked Grating

Type “SL” Swage Locked Steel Grating

Type “SL” steel gratings are manufactured by inserting hollow tube cross bars into pre-punched holes in the bearing bars and swaging the cross bars forming a positive mechanical connection. The cross bars are recessed below the top surface of the bearing bars providing a uniform and attractive architectural appearance. Swage locking is a particularly efficient process for the production of close mesh gratings. Type 7-SL-4 with 3/16″ thick bearing bars provides a net 1/4″ clear opening between the bearing bars. This narrow opening is often preferred in public areas where concerns of drainage and the presence of high heeled shoes converge.

Type “SG” Swaged Rectangular Aluminum Grating

The most widely used aluminum grating, type “SG” rectangular bar provides clean, crisp lines and the cross bar is fully locked within the bearing bar, slightly below the top surface. Type 19-SG-4 aluminum grating is the industry recognized standard for industrial applications with nearly 80% open area. Type “SG” gratings are available in close mesh ADA conforming spacings 11-SG-4 and 7-SG-4 which are commonly used in public areas. When specifying type 11-SG-4 for ADA applications, 3/16″ thick bearing bars must be specified.

 

Type “SGI” Swaged “I-Bar” Aluminum Grating

Manufactured with highly efficient “I” shaped extruded bearing bars, type “SGI” aluminum grating carries the same load as 3/16” thick rectangular bar type “SG” aluminum grating, but weighs slightly less per square foot. Additionally, the striated top and bottom flanges of the “I” bar provide enhanced skid resistance without the cost of serration.

Type “SGF” Swaged Flush-Top Aluminum Grating

Manufactured with a unique, extruded cross bar that is flush with the top surface of the bearing bars after swaging, type “SGF” aluminum grating provides an enhanced walking surface for areas subject to continuous pedestrian traffic. Available in rectangular bar with plain or serrated surfaces, type “SGF” aluminum grating is also available in ADA conforming spacings for applications located in the public way.

Type “SLS” Swage Locked Stainless

Hollow tube cross bars are hydraulically swaged into pre-punched holes in the bearing bars to make type “SLS” swage locked stainless grating. This type of construction provides a secure bearing bar/cross bar intersection and products are available with bearing bar spacings ranging from 19/16″ (1-3/16″) to 7/16″ on center.
This attractive grating, with the swaged cross bars slightly below the top surface of the grating, is very popular for “close-mesh”, ADA conforming applications. Consider “11 space” or “7 space” gratings for vault covers or entrance mats located in the public way.
