Bar Grating - Close Mesh

Close Mesh Bar Grating has a small open space, making it an ideal choice for pedestrian traffic, especially narrow heels or wheelchairs.


Product Information
Close Mesh Bar Grating is formed by a pressure locked process where the cross bars and rectangular bearing bars are forced together using tremendous hydraulic pressure. The result is a flush top, durable grating that provides excellent lateral support and a small open space between the bearing bars.
Swaged gratings
with narrow openings are also available.
