The unique metallurgical properties and exceptional strength-to-weight ratio of aluminum grating (see aluminum grating load tables) offers solid money-saving benefits for many applications. It is lighter in weight and is therefore easier to handle and install than steel grating. Because it does not rust, aluminum grating is commonly used in food preparation facilities, water and waste-water treatment plants, pumping stations and aboard ships. Its non-sparking properties are ideal for safety in industries where volatile chemicals are handled.
