What is a mesh grating?
PcP’s mesh gratings are composed of flat bars in both directions with bearing bars aligned in the span direction and cross bars positioned perpendicular to the bearing bars. The cross bars, are pressed into specially formed grooves in the bearing bars under high pressure. We manufacture these in two variations. “Pressure-Locked” (press-lock) & “Pressure-Welded” (press-weld also known as forge welded, electro welded & fusion welded) the latter having the addition of an electrical current of approximately 1500°C passed through at the same time of pressing. Both processes securely bind the components into a durable grating.
The gratings are then framed with another flat bar around the edgeson all four sides. Where the edging bars meet at the corners, they are welded to further enhance the grating’s stability. Additionally, an appropriate number of bars are welded to the edging bars for extra reinforcement.
Mesh grating sizes
PcP’s steel grating are available in sizes ranging up to 3000x1500mm subject to specification, material and weight We can produce gratings, flooring panels, and stair treads in precise dimensions with cut-outs suitable for any application. Whether you need solutions for walkways, stairs, platforms, façades, ceilings, or other purposes, our goal is to help you create safe and efficient designs.
