Galvanized Steel Bar Grating

Hot-dip galvanized steel bar grating provides distinct advantages for industrial and residential use. If you need strong, durable metal drain grating, then galvanized steel is an excellent choice.

While carbon steel is a durable material for grates, it is also susceptible to rust and corrosion. While spray or paint finishes can somewhat protect carbon steel, these will wear over time and expose the grate.

This creates additional wear and tear when exposed to water or heavy impact. That’s why at the Trench Grate Store, we galvanize carbon steel grating with zinc coating. The process involves dipping the grating in molten zinc to cover every surface.

The zinc then bonds to the surface of the steel to create the protective layer. This allows you to enjoy a product that provides protection against harsh environments with a lower overall investment than stainless steel.

The galvanized coating prevents the steel from corroding, unlike lower-quality non-galvanized steel bar grating. Additionally, sulfides, corrosive chlorides, fire, and moisture are kept at bay — protecting the galvanized steel bar grating’s integrity long-term.

At The Trench Grate Store, we offer several premium quality galvanized bar sizes and thicknesses. Our durable products can withstand construction equipment, heavy vehicles, and foot traffic with ease.

Specific varieties of grating, such as serrated galvanized grates and ADA grates, can help reduce worker and pedestrian injuries.

Additionally, the Trench Grate Store provides premium black grates. Whereas most companies merely powder coat or paint their grating in black, we also galvanize them to improve longevity.

Serrated grates have a raised surface, grooves, and footholds that provide slip resistance. Serrated grating is ideal for ramp or walkway environments. For this reason, serrated galvanized grates are a popular choice for public works projects.

ADA-compliant grating meets standards set by the Americans with Disabilities Act. These standards are necessary when installing grating in commercial facilities accessible by people with disabilities, public accommodations, and government buildings.

Additionally, ADA-compliant grating must have a maximum opening between crossbars of 0.5 inches in one direction. If the grating has an elongated opening, it must be placed so that the longer dimension creates a perpendicular angle to the primary direction of travel.

These closely spaced grating bars minimize hazards for crutches, walkers, canes, scooters, and guide dogs. At the Trench Grate Store, we provide several ADA-compliant galvanized steel grates no matter what application you need.
