Facade boarding
Press-locked facade boarding is a signature feature of contemporary architecture and an innovative product that allows for optimum creativity in the visual design of modern or older buildings : floors, privacy-screens, metal staircases. In order to give an attractive appearance and a flawless finish, the meshes of different panels can be aligned.
Facade boarding is also available with slanted struts and with a stainless steel or aluminium finish.

Load tables
GEI press-locked grating is characterized by transverse, cross bars inserted under high pressure into pre-existing notches in the bearing bars. This grating is produced in “flat” or “T”-shaped sections, welded into place and then optionally undergoes hot-dip galvanizing in accordance with the applicable EN ISO 1461 standards. For situations with an increased risk of slipping, anti-slip grating can be produced, where the upper surface of the bearing bars and/or the transverse bars can be given anti-slip serrations. GEI press-locked grating is typically manufactured from EN 10025 standard S235JR steel, which ensures a consistent production quality. RAL-GZ 638 manufacturing tolerances applied.xxx
