Aluminium Gratings
Key Features:
- Corrosion Resistance: Suitable for areas exposed to dampness, chemicals, and other corrosive agents.
- Lightweight and Strong: Maintains the strength of the metal but with a lighter weight to lessen structural load.
- Versatile Applications: For a whole host of industrial and architectural applications.
- Low Maintenance: It requires less maintenance; therefore, it is a cost-effective solution in the long run.

FAQs
Why aluminum gratings are preferred over steel grating?
Aluminum gratings have much less weight compared to the steel gratings and, therefore, are much easier to install, having less overall structural load. They have better resistance to corrosion and are hence suitable for usage in an environment full of moisture, chemicals, and other elements causing corrosion.
Can aluminum gratings from NKM International be customized?
Yes, NKM International can tailor the size, thickness, surface type, and surface treatment to provide you with an aluminum grating that fits your requirements.
What kind of surface treatments does aluminum grating undergo?
NKM International provides aluminum gratings in various surface treatments, like anodizing and mill finish or powder coating, according to your needs regarding corrosion resistance and/or aesthetic value.
Is the aluminum grating from NKM International compliant with industry standards?
Yes, the aluminum gratings are in compliance with the industry standards of ASTM and ISO quality and rigid performance criteria in both industrial and commercial settings.
