Open Steel Utility Flooring 6000mm x 1000mm (25 x 5 x 41 x 100) - Self Colour

How should the substrate be prepared for installing open steel utility flooring?

Ensure all supporting steelwork or concrete is level and capable of carrying the design load. Accurately position fixing clips or welding points to avoid distortion during installation.

What protective coatings are recommended for the self colour finish?

The self colour surface can be hot-dip galvanised, painted or powder coated on site. Protective treatment is advised for outdoor or corrosive environments to extend service life.

Does the 6 mm twisted transverse bar contribute to the load capacity?

The transverse bar primarily holds the main bearing bars upright and evenly spaced. The load-carrying capacity is provided mainly by the primary load bars.

How is drainage handled in wet or contaminated areas?

The 41 x 100 open mesh design allows water, dirt and waste to fall through, reducing slip hazards and simplifying cleaning, making it ideal for treatment plants or outdoor walkways.

Can the panels be cut to size on site?

Yes. Panels can be trimmed using appropriate cutting tools. All cut edges should be treated or coated to maintain corrosion resistance and structural safety.

What fixings are recommended for secure installation?

Use galvanised clips, saddle clamps or welds as specified by the structural engineer. Properly anchored fixings ensure long-term stability under heavy foot or equipment traffic.
