As an alternative to bar grating, aluminum plank is structurally sound and cosmetically attractive. Made from extruded aluminum, plank grating is relatively maintenance free and has no parts to work loose or splinter. The surface can be provided unpunched or with a variety of punch patterns for the passage of air, light, heat or moisture. A diagonal pattern is also available which meets the ADA requirements for wheelchair accessibility and high heel foot traffic.
The interconnecting webs offer a flush top walking surface formaximum foot contact and comfort. Plank can be used as an alternative to applications requiring open grating with plate attached to the top surface. Aluminum Plank is used at waste water treatment plants, for entranceways, walkways, bridges, trails, marine refrigeration, stadiums and more.
As a bar grating manufacturer since 1970, Ohio Gratings, Inc. has made just one top quality product... bar grating. This single focus has allowed us to gain the expertise and respect that has defined us as a market leader in the aluminum and steel bar grating market. The company was founded with the motto "Make It Right and Ship When Promised." This philosophy has allowed us to expand successfully over the years. The company began as a light duty steel bar grating fabricator and expanded into the manufacturing of heavy duty welded steel and stainless steel grating. That early success, led to other expansions including the bar grating manufacturing of aluminum swaged and dovetail bar grating. A few years later we added aluminum plank to our line of flooring products and then finally fiberglass to round out our bar grating manufacturing product offering.
With these products Ohio Gratings, Inc. has participated in all facets of the grating industry: design commentary, engineering, fabrication and distribution. Playing an integral role in our ability to furnish exceptional and reliable service and a quality product at a competitive price is an incentive management system characterized by an employee-shared profit structure. Our experience has gained us the expertise to offer extensive design and custom fabrication services. Traditionally, Ohio Gratings, Inc. offered products suitable for the industrial and environmental markets, such as water and waste water treatment, power generation plants, heavy duty bridge decking, etc. In the past several years, OGi has branched out and started a division called OGi Architectural Metal Solutions to cater to the architectural needs of our customers. We now have the ability to offer our products for green applications including grilles and screens, louvers, fencing, sunshades, ADA walkways, handrail infill and more.
