COMPLIANT FLOORING

Steel grating that complies with both UK and EU Standards for ball proof requirements.

Our range of compliant steel grating should cover every possible application and has been designed specifically to meet the UK and EU standards for ball proof requirements. The decision of which to install needs to consider how much traffic will pass underneath and how frequently.

The purpose of the ball proof requirement is to provide protection from falling objects to people or machinery that may be below the grating.

Manufacturing Standards

Steel Grating
Our Safegrid steel grating has been designed and manufactured to comply with the British and European standards for 35mm and 20mm ball proof requirements. The standards stipulate the maximum openings permissible in open mesh flooring, depending on the application. This means that traditional 41/100 (W) grating is no longer compliant in many applications. Speak to our team to find out more about our range of compliant steel flooring.
