Aluminum Grating for Drainage Systems
Aluminum grating is corrosion-resistant, non-toxic, resilient, and durable. On top of these amazing qualities, it is also lightweight, making it easy to install and suitable for applications with light foot traffic. Our aluminum bar grates are frequently used in chemical manufacturing plants as well as waste and sewage treatment centers. The grates are even well-suited for marine environments, such as docks, thanks to their resistance to saltwater corrosion.
Beyond industrial and marine uses, aluminum bar grating has also gained popularity in residential settings. Its sleek and modern appearance makes it a stylish addition to decks and patios, where it serves a functional role in facilitating proper drainage during snowmelt and heavy rainfall.

Important Qualities of Aluminum Bar Grating
Because they are manufactured from fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP), these trench grates are built to withstand even the harshest conditions. In fact, unlike metal grates, which rust and deteriorate when exposed to moisture, saltwater, or chemicals, fiberglass grates remain unaffected. This makes them ideal for coastal areas, chemical facilities, and anywhere regular exposure to water or industrial substances is a concern.
The use of aluminum bars in the construction of this grating significantly reduces its weight without compromising its load-bearing capabilities. Due to the grate’s lighter weight per square foot, the installation process requires less manpower and often does not necessitate heavy lifting equipment. This reduces project time and costs overall.
Unlike steel or cast iron alternatives, aluminum grates are highly resistant to corrosion, making them ideal for trench and storm drains exposed to moisture, chemicals, and the elements. This includes drainage systems in manufacturing plants, sidewalks, and swimming pool decks. This corrosion resistance significantly extends the life of the product while reducing the need for constant maintenance or replacement.
Architects and designers appreciate aluminum trench grating for its clean, modern appearance. It offers not only practical performance but also a sleek aesthetic that blends seamlessly into contemporary designs. Whether used indoors or outdoors, aluminum trench grates are a smart, attractive choice.
