EXPANDED METALTERMINOLOGYSTYLE DESIGNATION
A combination of numbers, letters, and abbreviations permitting proper specications
of dimension, gauge, style, and weight. In expanded metal products, the rst numberdesignates nominal dimension, short way of design. The second number completesthe designation and may specify the gauge of metal, weight per 100 square feet,or may have some other signicance. Grating products are designated by weight ofnished product per square foot.
STANDARD EXPANDED METALStandard expanded metal as it comes from the press. The strands and bonds are setat a uniform angle to the plane on the sheet. This gives added strength and rigidity,as well as skid-resistant surface. Standard expanded metal is abbreviated XM.
FLATTENED METAL
Flattened expanded metal is manufactured by passing the standard expanded sheetthrough a cold roll reducing mill. Flattened expanded metal turns the strands and bondsdown to provide a attened surface, reducing the thickness (gauge) and elongatingthe pattern. Thickness may vary plus or minus 10% from published dimensions.
GRATINGGrating is a standard expanded metal pattern produced from heavier gauge lowcarbon steel plates. Strands and the openings of grating are considerably largerthan other meshes. It is ideal for use wherever a strong, durable, lightweight surfaceis needed. Although used primarily for pedestrian trafc, grating can accommodateheavier loads if properly supported.
DESIGN SIZE Actual dimensions SWD and LWD. Measured from a point to a corresponding pointon the design shown.
SWD Nominal dimension Short Way of Design
SWOShort Way of Opening
LWDNominal dimension Long Way of Design
LWOLong Way of Opening
STRANDSThe sides of the expanded metal design.
STRAND THICKNESSGauge thickness of metal expanded.
STRAND WIDTH Amount of metal fed under dies toproduce one strand.
BONDThe solid intersection of two strands.

EXPANDED METALSIDE SHEARINGThe process of cutting a piece of expanded metal parallel to the long dimension ofthe diamond.
RANDOM SIDE SHEARINGSide shearing is a cut made parallel to the LWD dimension of the sheet which usuallyleaves open diamonds.
BOND SIDE SHEARINGThis cut is made along the length of the sheet on the center line of the bond over thespecied width. In most cases it is not practical to attempt to Bond Side Shear eitherregular or attened expanded metal because of the camber.
END SHEARINGEND RANDOM SHEARING
The process of shearing a piece of expanded metal to a specied length (LWD). Thiscut normally leaves open diamonds at both ends but accomplishes close tolerancewhen both ends are sheared.
END BOND SHEARINGThe process of shearing a piece of expanded metal to a specied length (LWD).One end is cut on the Bond parallel to the SWD—the other end usually has opendiamonds.

EXPANDED METAL SHEETSExpanded Metal is sheet steel which has been slit and expanded up to 10 timesits original width. This results in an increase in the strength and rigidity of the basicsheet. Often used in industry or the home where there is a drainage problem or a
need for free passage of air and light. Applications: Standard for partitions, guards,and enclosures; Flattened for trays, bins, shelving, and grills.

EXPANDED METAL SHEETSIn Standard Expanded Metal, the strands are set at sharp angles to the plane ofthe sheet. In the Flattened Expanded Metal, the strands have been cold rolled tobring them into one plane, thus providing a at surface.

PERFORATED CARBON STEEL SHEETS Perforated Carbon Steel Sheets are steel sheets that have been subject to a
perforation process. Perforation is the process of punching or stamping
holes or other shapes into a material in a pattern or in sequence. Steel,
because of its ductility and qualities of strength, makes PerforatedCarbon Steel Sheets an excellent product for screening or architectural
use.

GRIP STRUT® grating is commonly used for work platforms, industrial ooring,catwalks, balconies, storage areas, walkways, and stair treads.
Heavy Duty GRIP STRUT® is more competitive than ever against Bar Grating. Shorterlead times, 24-foot lengths, less support structure, and labor savings make it the most
unique formed-plank grating available.

Alro offers a full range of standard and non-
standard Stair Tread products from Grip Strut®,
Heavy Duty Grip Strut®, Perf-O Grip®, Traction
TreadTM, and Grate-Lock. Products will be offered
with or without abrasive nosing.
Alro offers a large variety of ladder
rungs for use in different environ-
ments and industries. GRIP STRUT®
One-Diamond Ladder Rungs are
ideal in environments where safefooting is hard to come by. GRIP
STRUT® Ladder Rungs ensure
maximum slip resistance and safe
footing. Traction TreadTM Ladder
Rungs are ideal for use in hand-over-
hand ladder applications where
safe footing is also required.
Reconditioning material is offered as an
economical method of resurfacing worn and
unsafe oors. Down-turned edges allow the
grating to lie at and secure over existing
ooring.
Aeration Decking provides municipal waste
treatment plants with a highly efcient, low-
energy way to process efuents into usable
compost. In North America daily production
from municipally operated water treatment
plants yields well over 15,000 tons (dry basis)
of sludge. North America faces a growing
process while keeping operating costs at a
minimum. Aeration Decking can be the key-
stone for systems that transform waste into
usable by-product, while conserving energy.

Traction TreadTM panels have a surface
of perforated raised buttons. The perfo-
rations allow spillage to drain and break
oil lm, detergent, and other slippery
agents away from the walking surface.
Traction TreadTM is ideal for pedestrian
trafc and the button design is the bestin the industry for allowing women in
heels, as well as a man in work boots,
to walk comfortably and safely over
the surfaces. This product is offered in
planks and 36” x 120” sheets. Traction
TreadTM services many applications
such as pedestrian walkways, scaffold
planking, mezzanines, stair treads, the
resurfacing of worn materials, etc.—
useful anywhere a light slip-resistant

Although roofs look durable, they were neverintended to be walked on. As the volume ofrooftop equipment keeps expanding, the wearand tear of mounting maintenance trafc canlead to leaks and premature roof replacement.Rooftop Walkway Systems solve these problemsto keep your roof leak free and long lived. Thepatented elevated Grip Strut® Rooftop WalkwaySystem is unlike others in that they are elevatedand discourage shortcuts and emphaticallydene a path that is visible even in heavy snow.This system is interchangeable with our differentwalking surfaces such as Perf-O Grip® andGrate Lock and is ideal for built-up roof systems.Grate-Lock RTWW systems are also available forany standing seam metal roof.

FIBERGLASS GRATING (PULTRUDED)
Fiberglass Grating bars consist of two glass reinforcements. First, continuous glassroving is used for high longitudinal strength. Second, continuous strand mat is intro-
duced, primarily for transverse strength. The mat also provides a resin-rich surfacefor added corrosion resistance and helps prevent chipping and splitting from impact.Fiberglass Grating, in addition to the glass reinforcement, provides a synthetic sur-face veil to match the resin selection. The veil provides a greater corrosion capabilityfor harsh chemical environments and creates an ultra-violet barrier for continuousexposure outdoors.
PRODUCT APPLICATIONSBreweries, Chemical, Fire Equipment, Food Processing, Gas/Coal Fire/Nuclear Power,Marine Applications, Micro Electronics, Mining, Offshore Equipment, Petroleum Pro-duction, Plating Operations, Pollution Control, Pulp/Paper, Recreational Equipment,
Swimming Pools, and Water/Waste Water.
SPECIFICATIONSRESIN SYSTEMS • Isophthalic, Isophthalic Fire Retardant: Made with a premium-grade re
retardant isophthalic polyester resin which meets ASTM E-84, Class 1, FlameRating, and self-extinguishing requirements of ASTM D-635.
• Vinylester, Vinylester Fire Retardant: Made with a premium grade vinylesterresin system for severe corrosion applications also meeting ASTM E-84, Class1, Flame Rating, and self-extinguishing requirements of ASTM D-635.
SAFETY/NON-SKID SURFACESThe walking surfaces of Fiberglass Grating have a coarse epoxy grit bonded to boththe bearing bar and the ush top cross-rod. The patented ush-top design providesa greater non-skid surface area as well as improved appearance.
TYPICAL PROPERTIES• Corrosion resistant. • High strength. • Low thermal conductivity.
• Fire retardant. • Light weight. • Maximum unsupported spans.
• High impact strength. • Low maintenance. • Safety non-skid surface.
