Architectural and Industrial Use
Oasis Metal, Press Locked Steel Gratings are manufactured using mechanical interlocking process that delivers strength and a clean, uniform appearance. Designed for both aesthetic appeal and high performance, these gratings are ideal for architectural facades, public infrastructure, and light industrial platforms were design matters as much as durability.
Press lock provides a smooth finish to provides a refined solution on projects demanding visual consistency without compromising on structural integrity.
These can be customised with serrated cross bars for added slip resistance, and galvanised to enhance corrosion resistance.
Key Features
Mechanically Interlocked Design
Unlike welded gratings, our press locked grating uses a hydraulic pressing method to mechanically secure the cross bars into the bearing bars below. This results in a surface free of welding, making it an excellent choice for visible installations where appearance is crucial.
Customisable Bar Sizes and Pitches
We offer a wide variety of load bar spacings, thicknesses, allowing the grating to be configured for everything from light pedestrian use to moderate load-bearing requirements. This flexibility ensures compatibility with both architectural and functional applications.
High Load Performance with Minimal Obstruction
Press locked gratings also deliver excellent structural integrity. Its precise grid layout supports significant weight while maintaining open space for airflow, light, and drainage, lending it to both indoor and outdoor settings.
Multiple Finish and Surface Treatment Options
Each grating panel can be finished to meet project requirements. Choose from hot-dip galvanizing for corrosion resistance, powder coating for aesthetic versatility, or leave the steel untreated for budget-sensitive applications. For added safety, serrated cross bars can be included to enhance slip resistance, especially in outdoor or industrial environments.
Common Applications
Our press locked gratings are widely used across a range of industries and project types.
Architectural facades and sunscreens
Public walkways and pedestrian bridges
Platforms and stair treads
Airflow or drainage grilles
Balustrades panels
Why Choose Press Locked Gratings?
Aesthetics
With their uniform surface construction, press locked gratings deliver a clean, modern appearance that is especially valued in architectural applications. The absence of weld marks results in a smoother, more refined finish that enhances the overall look of your project.
Tailored to Fit
Every installation is different, which is why we offer custom sizing, shapes, and configurations. Whether you’re working on a curved façade, a custom stair system, or an irregular platform layout, our gratings can be fabricated to meet your exact requirements.
Long-Lasting Durability
Constructed from high-quality mild or stainless steel, press locked gratings are built to withstand wear and environmental exposure. With optional galvanizing and coating options, you can further extend their service life in even the most demanding conditions.
Enhanced Safety When Needed
Slip resistance is critical in many applications. By opting for serrated cross and load bars, you can significantly improve traction underfoot; an ideal solution for areas exposed to rain, grease, or other hazards.
Low Maintenance, High Performance
Due to the construction and optional protective finishes, these gratings require minimal upkeep. The open design also allows debris and moisture to pass through, helping maintain a clean and safe surface over time.
