Heel Guard Grating

Narrow-slot grating for places where people walk in heels, wheels or walking aids.

Problems This Family Solves

  • Standard drainage grating that a stiletto heel, a cane tip or a castor drops into
  • Accessibility complaints about a channel that is already installed and paid for
  • Grating that looks industrial in an entrance that is not industrial
  • Slot runs that rattle under foot traffic because the panel does not sit tight in the frame
  • Stainless runs that stain and pit after a few months of washdown because the surface was never passivated

Who It Is For

  • Drainage channel manufacturers who need a pedestrian-rated top for their channel
  • Main contractors fitting out entrances, concourses and forecourts
  • Landscape and hard-paving contractors crossing a walking line with a drainage run
  • Food, beverage and pharmaceutical plants that wash their floors down

Why Buyers Choose This Range

  • Clear opening closed down without losing the drainage area the run was sized for
  • Carbon steel hot-dip galvanized, or stainless steel acid passivated, from the same plant
  • Panels cut and framed to the channel, not trimmed on site
  • Bearing bar from 25x6 up to 55x5 depending on the load the top has to carry
  • Small batches accepted, which matters when a project needs eleven panels and not a container

Typical Application Scenarios

  • Entrance thresholds at shopping centres, hotels and office lobbies
  • Station concourses, airport kerbsides and pedestrian plazas
  • Swimming pool surrounds and spa wet areas in stainless steel
  • Food plant washdown aisles where the floor drains along the walking line
Questions

Heel Guard Grating Questions

What clear opening counts as heel guard?
It depends on the specification the project is working to, so the opening is set against your drawing rather than against a catalogue. Send the channel width and the pedestrian standard you are being assessed on and the bar pitch is drawn to suit.
Carbon steel or stainless steel for an entrance?
Hot-dip galvanized carbon steel is the normal choice outdoors and costs less. Stainless steel with acid passivation is used where the run is washed down, exposed to chlorides, or where the grating is a visible part of a finished floor.
Can you make heel guard panels for a channel we already have?
Yes. That is most of this work. Send the internal channel dimension, the frame type and the panel lengths you want and the panels are made to drop into it.
Do the panels come with the frame?
They can. Banding bar, end plates and hold-down arrangements are fabricated with the panel so the assembly is finished when it arrives.
Is there a minimum order?
The company works on small batch and customized production, so a project quantity is accepted rather than a container minimum.
