Serrated When the gratings are used in particularly wet environments or in places where extra non-slip properties are required, serrated bars will be an advantage. The serrated process involves carving a pattern in the bars to be serrated. This could be in either the control or filler bars or in both control and filler bars and bearing bars, depending on whether the grating needs serrated in one or both directions. Serration is available in two patterns: small serration and large serration
* Small Serration Small serration is the most commonly used serrated form, which is used for industrial walkway and staircase gratings etc. and for heavy duty ramp gratings.
* Large Serration This type of serrated is very easy to clean and therefore primarily used in industrial kitchens, canteens and in other places with high hygiene requirements and requirements of non-slip properties. Serrated bearing bars and control and filler bars.

Serrated steel grating is the most popular of all grating typesdue to its strength, cost-efficient production and ease ofinstallation. In addition to its high strength and light weight,this type of grating also has non-slip characteristics, nosharp edges and serrations are rolled on, to meet stricthealth and safety requirements. Hot rolled serrations helpstop lacerations if someone falls on the grating.

Optional serrated bearing bars enhance skid resistance.Consider this surface for applications subject to theaccumulation of liquids or lubricants or inclined gratinginstallations. The excellent self-cleaning characteristics ofplain surface grating make it suitable for the majority ofapplications.In the presence of fluids or materials that couldcause the top surface of the grating to become wet orslippery, specification of the optional serrated surface shouldbe considered. When serrated grating is specified, thebearing bar depth must be 1/4" greater, to provide theequivalent strength of non-serrated gratings.
