Where It Goes Wrong

Standard grating slots that catch heels, cane tips and small castors
Accessibility complaints about a channel that is already installed
Rusting slot edges showing as brown lines across new stone paving
Grating that looks industrial in an entrance that is not
Loose panels in public areas that get lifted or rattle underfoot

What These Buyers Ask For

Heel guard bar pitch set against the accessibility specification being assessed
Panels flush with the paving, cut to the paving module
Galvanized or passivated finishes that stay clean where they are visible
Bolt-down and anti-lift fixings for public areas
Single framed panels for isolated thresholds rather than full channel runs

Guides For This Kind Of Buyer

Questions

Commercial Buildings And Public Space Questions

What slot width counts as heel-safe?

It depends on the specification your project is assessed against, so the pitch is drawn to that rather than taken from a catalogue.

Will galvanized steel suit a stone forecourt?

It weathers to a matt grey that sits well against stone. Where the finish matters more, the stainless heel guard sections are the alternative.

Can you make one panel to replace a damaged one?

Yes, that is what the framed panel product is for.

How are panels stopped from being lifted?

With bolt-down clips and edge fixings fabricated with the panel.
