Description

The grating feet insert with 500mm spacing is a practical accessory designed to provide a stable, level bearing surface for open mesh grating installations. Engineered to support 38mm mesh panels, these insert feet help achieve a consistent elevation while ensuring the grating remains securely positioned over the substrate.

Ideal for industrial walkways, service platforms, plant rooms and access routes, this grating accessory is particularly useful where a controlled 6mm lift is required. By fitting neatly beneath the grating, the insert feet help to reduce rocking, spread loads more evenly and extend the service life of the flooring system.
