Application

Suitable for vertical applications such as balconies and balustrading.

Description

A grating for vertical applications that is particularly suited to balustrading. It has an arrangement of closely spaced transverse bars that generates a striking visual presence with good through-visibility, and provides a good level of security.

The process of pressure locking produces a grating material with perfectly formed intersections, which are ideally suited to residential projects such as balconies and balustrading.

  • Different panel types are available which offer alternative spacings between the horizontal flat bars at 11, 22, 33 or 44 mm centres.
  • Vertical flat bars 25 x 2 mm or greater, to meet loading requirements.
  • Horizontal flat transverse bars: 10 x 2 mm.
  • Panels and posts can be supplied galvanized only, or galvanized and powder coated to any RAL colour.
