How to Order Flooring

1. Use the Quick Guide on page 1 and add the options for Material, Top Surface,
Treatment/Colours and Panel size (if required) on page 3.
or
2. Choose a pattern from page 2 and choose a Load Bar from the Load Deflection Table
on pages 6 & 7. Add the options on page 3.
3. Panel size should be stated only if you want a stock panel.
For example, A325MPU2 for an untreated stock panel 1200 x 6000.
For Fabricated grating the code would read A325MPU.
4. Specify whether the grating is to be Banded or Cut To Size Only by referring to the Terminology on page 18.
5. Nominate the number of panels required and provide dimensions for width and span of each panel.
Span is always the last dimension.
6. Where large floor areas are required provide a drawing of the area to be covered showing:
a) Dimensions.
b) Span.
c) Section size, location of, and toe direction of the support steel.
d) Location and size of cut outs and removable areas.
e) Location of kick plate and nosings.
f) Indicate if penetrations are required to be split.
7. Specify fastener type if required. See pages 14 & 15.

Span Direction
• Grating and expanded metal needs to be supported in a specific way. The direction that the load bars run is the
important direction for grating and is referred to as the span.
• For expanded metal the span is in the direction of the strands or Long Way Mesh (LWM).
• Span is always the last dimension given when referencing a panel size.
• Grating and expanded metal has to be supported 90° to the span direction and does not require support on the
other sides.

 Webplate/Webmesh
WEBPLATE

FLOORING
Webplate is a composite flooring comprising floorplate welded to the top of grating.
Any grating pattern from page 2 can be combined with any floorplate thickness.
We recommend E pattern grating (similar to F pattern but with cross rods at 100mm centres).
Other combinations of hit and miss cross rod firings can be supplied if required.
Webplate is available in steel and aluminium in the following combinations:

Material Product Floor/ Grating Weight Span at 4kPa UDL

Treadplate Untreated 5mm
Thickness Kg/sqm Deflection

STEEL WP3-E255MP* 3mm E255MP* 44.49 1390mm

ALUMINIUM WP3-E255AP* 3mm E255AP* 16.21 1100mm

WP5-E325AP* 5mm E325AP* 23.21 1350mm

Where * indicates Treatment. Refer to Options on page 3 and Examples of Coding on page 4.

How to Order Webplate

1. Choose the product type required by reference to the recommendations
shown above.
or
Choose a grating by using the pattern choices on page 2 and choose an
appropriate Load Bar from the Load/Deflection Table on page 6 & 7.
2. Add the Options on page 3.
3. Nominate the required thickness of the floorplate.

Examples:
WP3-E255MPG
1/1500 x 4500 span (in 1 piece)
WP5-A325MPU
2/3000 x 750 span (each in 4 pieces)
WP8-E405MPB
All as per drawing supplied.

WEBMESH
Webmesh is a composite comprising grating with a light gauge mesh
welded to the underside to prevent tools and small objects from falling
through the grating. Complies with AS 1657-1992 paragraph 3.3.1.1

How to Order Webmesh

1. Select a grating from the pattern choices on page 2 and choose an
appropriate Load Bar from the Load/Deflection Table on page 6 & 7.
2. Add the Options on page 3.
3. Prefix your choice WM-

Examples:
WM-A255MPG
1/1205 x 3500 span
WM-A325MPU
2/2500 x 750 span (each in 2 pieces)
WM-C405MPB
All as per drawing supplied.
The standard mesh supplied is a flattened Expanded Metal

FEATURES/BENEFITS
Expanded metal is one continuous single sheet of mesh
produced when a flat metal plate is sheared and stretched but
is left intact at the ‘knuckles’. It is available in a variety of
thicknesses with differing sizes and designs of the apertures.
The strands and knuckles are set at a uniform angle to the
plane of the sheet. This adds strength and rigidity and
distributes the load to the supporting frames.
Because there are no welds or joins it operates as a structural
member that distributes loads evenly over a wide area.
The high strength to weight ratio makes it suitable for many
industrial and ornamental applications.
No loose strands or welds means minimal deterioration from
constant exposure or movement.
A further feature is the provision of an excellent anti-slip
surface. This makes the product suitable for ramps (e.g. inclined
walkways adjacent to conveyors) platforms and stair treads.
The open nature of the product provides good visibility through
the mesh as well as the easy passage of air and sound whilst
ensuring security and protection.

WELDING
Webforge believe that welding to the support structure is a suitable process. Minimum number of welds is four per panel.
Grating: Weld 5mm fillet 25mm long at 1000mm centres.
Expanded Mesh: Weld every fourth strand.

CLIP FREQUENCY
4 per panel. Approximately 3 per M2 where span is +/— 1500mm. Approximately 5 per M2 where span is +/— 750mm.
