Press Locked Grating 32x3 Carbon Steel
Hot-dip galvanized carbon steel press locked panel with 32x3 bearing bar and a matching 32x3 cross bar, giving a deep square mesh.
Product Overview
Here the cross bar is the same 32x3 section as the bearing bar, which makes a deep, genuinely square mesh rather than the usual shallow lattice. That geometry is what gets specified for architectural screening, for sun shading and for infill panels where the grating is seen edge-on from outside as well as walked on from above: a square mesh reads as a pattern from any angle, where an asymmetric one reads as stripes. Pressed rather than welded, it also keeps a clean line with no bead, and hot-dip galvanizing afterwards makes it an exterior product.
Key Benefits
- Equal 32x3 bars in both directions give a true square, deep mesh
- Reads as a pattern from any viewing angle, not as stripes
- No weld bead on the surface or on the visible edges
- Hot-dip galvanized for exterior architectural use

Use Guide
- Agree the open area ratio before the pitch: shading and ventilation are calculated from it
- Set out panels to the facade grid so joints fall on the grid lines
- Allow for coating thickness in the fixing holes
- Isolate dissimilar metals at the fixing points
- Specify paint over galvanizing, not instead of it, where a colour is required
Quality Control
- Mesh squareness checked against the panel diagonal
- Joint lock-up checked on samples across the run
- Frame and fixing hole positions checked against the drawing
- Coating inspected on visible faces and edges
Materials
- Carbon steel bearing bar and cross bar
- Zinc coating applied by hot-dip galvanizing
Manufacturing Process
- Drawing and 3D model
- Cutting and stamping
- Pressure welding or press locking
- Framing and fabrication
- Surface treatment
- Inspection and packing
Certification Standards
Production follows TBC, the source specification publishes no certification marks. Certificates are sent per product on request rather than posted publicly, because the documents a shipment needs depend on the destination market.
Customisation Options
- Mesh pitch to the open area or shading ratio required
- Frames, sub-frames and fixing details
- Panel sizes matched to a facade grid
- Painted finish over galvanizing where a colour is specified
How It Compares With The Alternatives
A technical comparison against other ways of solving the same problem. Nothing here is a performance claim against a named competitor product.
| Against a stock panel cut to fit on site | A stock panel trimmed on site loses its banding, its bar pitch at the edge and its coating at every cut. This one is drawn to the opening and coated after it is fabricated. |
| Against buying the panel and its frame separately | Panel, banding, hooks, frame and handrail are fabricated and coated in the same plant and the same batch, which is what makes them fit each other. |
