Bar grating provides strength, traction, and reinforcement for everything from highways to fire escapes and is available in a variety of types and styles. If you have a commercial or industrial development planned, it’s essential to know the bar grating options for your project. Magna Steel Sales of Beacon Falls, CT, shares the most popular kinds of bar grating.

Top 4 Bar Grating Options

1. Aluminum

Lightweight aluminum bar grating is an excellent carbon alternative and is valued for its ratio of weight-to-strength. Its rectangular crossbars stand strong beneath walking surfaces, are skid-proof, and require minimal upkeep. Since it is resistant to corrosion, it is ideal for sewage plants, marine crafts, and food or beverage prep stations.

2. Stainless Steel

3. Stair Tread

Stair tread is most commonly used for commercial, industrial, and architectural projects. This option is hardwearing and slip-resistant, making it one of the safest options for staircases. Stair tread bar grating is aesthetically pleasing and comes in many different colors and finishes.

4. Carbon Steel

This is ideal for both light- and heavy-duty applications. On the lighter end, carbon steel is available in dimensions as large as two-and-a-half inches by three-sixteenths of an inch, and it is perfect for cart or pedestrian traffic. On the heavier end, this bar grating may measure as much as six inches by three-eighths of an inch and is perfect for bridges, highways, and industrial areas.
