Pressed grating decking - is made by cold pressing connecting strips into load-bearing strips of low-carbon steel with or without hot-dip galvanizing. Grating decking can also be made of stainless steel or aluminum. Products made of grating decking are multifunctional and used for flooring, stair treads, shelves, fences, roof suspended elements, walkways in industrial areas, water drainage systems in chemical and food industries.
When manufacturing pressed gratings, very high pressure (over 100 tons) is used, ensuring high strength of the products. This technology guarantees the reliability and solidity of the structure. To prevent oxidation processes, the gratings are coated with chrome or zinc.
Due to its multifunctionality, lightness, low cost, and ease of installation, grating decking has found wide application in both private and industrial sectors. The undeniable advantages of pressed decking over other materials are its ventilation and light permeability, making it indispensable in warehouse management. For example, grating shelves are very strong, durable, and provide a good view of the stored goods.
Grating decking is widely used in auto service centers - for various building structures as well as for interior work: flooring, shelves. The grating structure ensures reliable grip of footwear soles or car tires even in wet weather and freezing conditions. Moreover, there are special types of gratings with anti-slip notches. The methods of fastening pressed decking depend on the type of supporting structures on which it is located. The best material for fastening components is stainless steel. It is corrosion-resistant and highly wear-resistant, making it most suitable for use in any weather conditions. The most common decking fastening method is using self-tapping screws with a clip. It is cost-effective and allows for quick installation. Decking joints are made using standard fastening, which includes an M8x60 bolt clip from the top and a lower clamping part with an M nut. For mounting pressed decking at a great height and in places where structure displacement is possible, double fastening is used.
