Example of Coding
Examples:
F403AMP
G3861GG5
For the shaded items the resultant code would be A325MPG1
How to Order Flooring
- Use the Quick Guide and add the options for Material, Top Surface, Treatment/Colours and Panel size (if required).
or
- Choose a pattern and a Load Bar from the Load Deflection Table.
- Panel size suffix should be stated only if you want a stock panel.
For example, A325MPU2 for an untreated stock panel 1200 x 6000.
For Fabricated grating the code would read A325MPU.
- Specify whether the grating is to be Banded or Cut to Size Only by referring to the Terminology.
- Nominate the number of panels required and provide dimensions for width and span of each panel.
Span is always the last dimension
- Where large floor areas are required provide a drawing of the area to be covered showing:
- Dimensions.
- Span.
- Section size, location of, and toe direction of support steel.
- Location and size of cut outs and removable areas.
- Location and kick plate and nosings.
- Indicate if penetrations are required to be split.
- Specify fastener type if required.
Span Direction
- Grating and expanded metal have to be supported in a specific way. The direction that the load bars run is the important direction for grating and is referred to as the span.
- For expanded metal the span is in the direction of the strands or Long Way Mesh (LWM).
- Span is always the last dimension given when referencing a panel size.
- Grating and expanded metal have to be supported 90° to the span direction and do not require support on the other sides.
Example:
Shown here with standard panel widths of 995mm. Platform made in standard stock width panels plus a make-up panel cut to the nearest load bar. The balance allows for gaps up to 10mm between panels.
Order as:
1/4265 x 1500 span (in 4 pieces)
Make up panels are joined to the adjacent panel.
