Balustrades and fencing
Press-locked gratings for fencing or solid balustrades are manufactured from galvanised steel, with a powder-coated finish if required. They are quick to assemble and offer good resistance. Whether in stadiums, factories, airports or by private individuals, press-locked gratings for fencing are used in a variety of different contexts. They are available as press-welded gratings as well as slanted-strut gratings for added privacy.
Grating panels can be connected by posts made from square or flat tubing sealed directly or with prepierced connectors (on request only).

Finishes available:
- Powder-coated
- Galvanized
Custom manufacture:
Depending on the layout and dimensions you require, several different meshes and cross-sections can be manufactured.
For use as a balustrade, the NF P01-012 (paragraph 2.3.2) standard imposes a maximum horizontal gap in the mesh of 50mm). (Please give details when ordering).
Mesh
The mesh spacing is defined in accordance with the standards and loads that must be respected:
- For a BB thickness of 2-3 mm:
The BB spacing is typically a multiple of 11.11.
The IB spacing is typically a multiple of 11.11. - For a BB thickness of 4-5 mm:
The BB spacing is typically a multiple of 18.
The IB spacing is typically a multiple of 17. - Other options are available on request.

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
