A flexible grating solution with essential properties such as high slip resistance, drainage, optimal airflow, and strength to weight ratio, recognized by clients and industries through decades.
Originally invented and developed by PcP, OPTIMO™ is a versatile grating range designed for many different environments and applications. With more than 15 grating types, 6 material options and 10+ surface designs, it gives you the flexibility to choose the right solution for your project.
OPTIMO™ is lighter than traditional mesh grating, while still offering the strength and safety needed for public walkways, industrial areas, platforms, stairways and more. The range includes documented slip-resistant surfaces, allowing you to select a grating suited to the specific conditions of the application, including wet, oily and other demanding environments.
It can be used in both wet and dry environments, and selected surfaces, such as LHD®, offer flame-retardant properties for areas like transformer substations, offshore platforms and maritime environments.
OPTIMO™ panels can be supplied as gratings, stair treads or planks, making them suitable for walkways, platforms, stairs, spiral stairs, scaffolding and other access areas. The range combines modern engineering with everyday safety, comfort and practical installation.
OPTIMO™ offers the strength of traditional mesh grating in a lighter, easy-to-install design. Its punched surface and drainage holes make it a flexible safety solution for many industries.
Carefully placed drainage holes and punched holes ensure that the OPTIMO™ line proves end-users with maximum slip resistance.
The OPTIMO™ line is very suitable to be used at high altitudes. Even though the construction employs punched holes for its features, its low level of transparency provides the end-user with a high degree of comfort.
OPTIMO™ gratings can be used in numerous types of climates, environments, industries, and applications. The product line is available in various widths, heights, lengths, and profile forms and can furthermore be customised to meet your exact needs.
The OPTIMO™ product line has been rigorously tested and approved according to the European standards EN 1991 and EN ISO 14122.
OPTIMO™ has been designed to be simple and easy to install. This allows for quicker installation in challenging environments, allowing safety for end-users on short notice.
OPTIMO™ is well known for its adaptable ability to fit into almost any environment or circumstance. Explore our comprehensive product catalogue below.
This O-grating is applied where extreme slip resistance and drainage are required, often in maritime environments, industries with oil and water, and construction sites, among others.
Safety gratings Type SPS™ are custom-built for indoor and outdoor swimming baths. Slip resistance and drainage are well balanced, making Type SPS™ comfortable to walk on.
Type O3™ are identified by 14 mm dia. punched and 8.5 mm dia. drainage holes in a square pattern in 3 mm material. Type O3™ is used in all sectors of industry where slip resistance and strength are high.
This steel grating is characterised by larger serrated holes. Type S is applied where slip resistance and extreme drainage are required, often in maritime environments.
OPTIMO™-gratings consist of panels welded together to form a complete grating. These panels are also available in the form of stair treads and planks with different designs for numerous applications. Walkways, platforms, stairways, spiral stairs, scaffolding - the possibilities are endless. OPTIMO™ brings together modern engineering with everyday practicality and safety.
The story behind OPTIMO™
Fueled by the spirit of innovation, the founder of PcP, set out to design and develop an alternative to the traditional mesh gratings. The aim was to engineer a versatile yet flexible grating design, that did not have limitations regarding where it could be installed. In 1970, the so-called Safety Gratings saw first light and became an instant bestseller. Today all PcP gratings are labelled safety gratings, and the punched hole O-gratings are now recognised under the brand name OPTIMO™.
