Solid balustrades
Full gratings are used for solid balustrades owing to their finish and the benefits they provide. The fact that the insert bars and bearer bars are of the same height is visually appealing.
In addition, if required, they can be powder-coated (wide range of colours available)

Custom manufacture:
GEI can manufacture made-to-measure full gratings to meet your requirements (layout, size, etc.).
Our research department is available to handle your technical requirements, and can advise you on issues up to and including the realisation of your orders.
Mesh
The mesh spacing is defined in accordance with the standards and loads that must be respected:
- BB thickness of 2, 3, 4 and 5 mm
- The BB spacing is typically a multiple of 11.
- The IB spacing is typically a multiple of 11.1
Bearer and cross bar
- Standard heights: 20-140 mm.
- Standard thickness
Dimensions
- Maximum length of bearer bars: 4000 mm.
- Maximum length of spacers: 2000 mm.
Surface Treatment
- Galvanized in accordance with EN ISO 1461 standards.
- Stainless steel V2A or V4A available.
- Aluminum available.
Finish
- Available with "flat" edge or without edges.
- Available with single or double notching on request.
- HALF-MOON or SAWTOOTH notching available.
Finished Product
Custom manufacture based on the dimensions given by the customer or on plans drawn up by our research department.
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.
