Not only steel gratings, but also gratings made of other materials meet even the highest demands in terms of statics and design. It should also be emphasized that both a steel grating and other gratings made of other materials are maintenance-free, economical and also sustainable construction elements.
They also offer numerous advantages, such as good light and air permeability. The visual uniformity of the gratings opens up almost endless possibilities for easily implementing interesting concepts. Gratings made of steel offer a high bearing capacity despite their low weight.
Gratings, regardless of whether they are made of steel or aluminum, are self-supporting, plate-shaped structures that can withstand different loads. These plate-shaped bodies also have many regularly arranged openings.
Gratings are used, for example, in industry, in road construction, in all areas of building construction and civil engineering and in storage technology. If you also take a look at the field of modern building and object architecture, you will quickly realize that steel Gratings can solve important design and functional tasks here. Gratings are used here, for example, as ceiling grids, balcony railings, facade coverings or as a design element.
A steel Gratings consists of cross and bearing bars and an edge frame.
To ensure that your steel Gratings score points for durability and robustness, it is of course essential that the surface of the steel Gratings is treated accordingly. Hot-dip galvanizing is usually used here. Hot-dip galvanizing has proven its worth as corrosion protection and is therefore still the most common way of giving a steel Gratings, for example, its robustness through this surface treatment.
During hot-dip galvanizing, the pre-treated elements are immersed in molten zinc. This gives the grating a zinc coating that neither flakes off nor cracks under normal mechanical loads, such as driving or inspection.
The Lichtgitter Group includes three modern galvanizing plants. Lichtgitter can therefore also meet its quality standards in terms of surface treatment.
If additional protection is desired or required, then an already galvanized steel Gratings can be dipped in bitumen or powder-coated. This is particularly recommended if the gratings will be exposed to chemical loads in the future.
Gratings can also be provided with a plastic coating or a paint finish. It should be noted that prior galvanizing is not recommended when painting.
The hot-dip galvanizing of a steel Gratings is carried out in accordance with DIN EN ISO 1461 for Lichtgitter. As a customer, you can therefore be absolutely certain that you will always receive consistently high quality. However, it is not only the consistently high quality that is important to us as a manufacturer. The environmental aspect is just as important to us as quality.
For this reason, we are committed to making the galvanizing process as environmentally friendly as possible. Areas exposed to acids and chemicals are completely enclosed in our plants. This not only creates a clean working environment, but also emission-free workplaces.
We also attach great importance to minimizing waste and saving energy. The residual materials produced during the hot-dip galvanizing process for steel Gratings are all recycled.
