Installation Notes
Cutting
Carbide-tipped or abrasive cutters; support both sides of the cut; wear dust protection. Wet cutting recommended.

Orientation
Pultruded bearing bars run across the span — never parallel. Leave thermal gaps at fixed supports.
| Installation Parameter | Recommended Practice | Standard Reference |
|---|---|---|
| Support Spacing | Maximum span per certified load chart — never exceed recommended clear span | Load chart per configuration |
| Bearing | Minimum 40 mm bearing on each support | ZeAllgrate practice / ISO 14122-3 |
| Fastener Spacing | Minimum 2 hold-down clips per support beam, spaced ≤ 1219 mm (4 ft) on centre; minimum 4 clips per panel | Per ZeAllgrate engineering practice |
| Thermal Expansion | Allow 3 – 5 mm expansion gap at fixed supports; molded coefficient ≈ 15–25×10⁻⁶ /°C (direction dependent) | Manufacturer data |
| Cut Holes | Seal cut edges in chemical service with resin; radius corners to avoid stress points | Design guide |
| Fall Protection | Handrail height ≥ 1100 mm (ISO 14122-3) / 42 in (OSHA 1910.23); kickplate where required | OSHA 1910 / ISO 14122 |

How to Specify in Four Steps
Define Environment
Identify chemicals, temperature, UV exposure and load requirements.
Choose Grating Type
Molded for bi-directional strength; pultruded for long spans and heavy loads.
Check Load / Span
Verify the support span against certified load charts for your configuration.
Specify Surface & Clips
Grit-top for wet areas; SS304/316 clips for secure fastening.
