Plain Swaged-Locked Aluminum Grating is manufactured by mechanically swaging cross bars into pre-punched bearing bars, creating a rigid, clean, and visually appealing panel without welding. Its smooth bearing bar surface provides comfortable pedestrian access while maintaining excellent strength, drainage, and ventilation.
Manufactured from high-quality aluminium alloys such as 6061-T6 and 6063-T6, swaged-locked aluminium grating is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and virtually maintenance-free. It is widely used in commercial buildings, architectural projects, walkways, platforms, and public facilities where appearance and durability are equally important.
Features & Characteristics
- Lightweight Construction. Aluminium provides an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, making handling and installation easier than steel grating.
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance. Naturally resistant to corrosion and suitable for outdoor, coastal, and humid environments without additional surface treatment.
- Smooth Walking Surface. Plain bearing bars provide a flat and comfortable walking surface for pedestrian traffic.
- High Strength & Stability. Swaged-lock construction creates a rigid panel with excellent load distribution and structural integrity.
- Modern Architectural Appearance. Clean lines and concealed connections make it an ideal choice for architectural and commercial projects.
- Low Maintenance. Aluminium requires minimal maintenance while maintaining its appearance over many years.
- Custom Manufacturing. Available in various bearing bar sizes, spacings, panel dimensions, and finishes to meet project requirements.
