Flatex Expanded Metal is created through a slicing and stretching process that produces uniform diamond-shaped openings without material loss. It’s lightweight yet structurally sound, ideal for applications requiring ventilation, light passage, and security. Flatex is perfect for architectural facades, security screens, filtration systems, machine guards, and decorative applications where aesthetics and airflow are important.

Bitumen-dipped (CQ Bitumen) grating features a bitumen coating that provides temporary corrosion protection during transit and storage. It is the most affordable option and is typically used in covered or indoor environments, or as a base before applying a final protective coating.
Galvanised (CQ Galv) grating has been hot-dip galvanised with a zinc coating, offering superior long-term corrosion resistance. This finish is ideal for outdoor installations, marine environments, chemical plants and any application exposed to moisture or corrosive elements.
Hot-rolled (CQ HR) grating is supplied in its raw, uncoated state. It is the most cost-effective option for indoor or sheltered applications and gives you complete flexibility to apply your own protective finish such as powder coating, painting or galvanising.
