Pros and Cons
All materials can be customized to suit your requirements in terms of dimensions, mesh type and surface treatment. They integrate seamlessly into their surroundings, are easy to clean and require only minimal maintenance.
Overview of the advantages and disadvantages of each material:
| Material | Benefits | Disadvantages |
| Steel | Robust, durable, cost-effective. Environmentally friendly: 100% recyclable. With galvanizing: corrosion-resistant. | Susceptible to rust without galvanizing. High energy cost: energy-intensive production. |
| Corten Steel | No coating required. Recyclable and durable material. Low maintenance costs. | Must not be used in contact with certain chemicals or in very humid environments. |
| Stainless steel | Corrosion-resistant. Chemical-resistant. Moisture-resistant. Aesthetic. | More expensive than steel. |
| Aluminium | Easy to handle. Low weight: approx. one third of the weight of steel grating. Modern aesthetic effect. Particularly suitable for decorative applications. | Less robust than steel. More expensive than steel. |
| GRP (glass fiber) | Resistant to corrosion, weather and UV radiation. High chemical resistance. Non-conductive electrically. Low thermal conductivity. Load-bearing in both directions. | Less robust than steel. Suitable for pedestrian loads only. |
| Rubber | Slip-resistant. Water- and UV-resistant. Recyclable, environmentally friendly. High user comfort. Soft. Easy to install. | Less resistant than metal or GRP under extreme conditions. |
