Instructions
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS -- When cutting GRIDWALK®
grating, always wear safety goggles to protect your eyes and
a dust mask to reduce dust inhalation. Also wear gloves and
a shop coat with neck and sleeves taped to prevent skin irritation.
Work in a well-lighted and ventilated area.
CUTTING GRIDWALK -- Depending on the amount (linear feet)
of grating to be cut, a variety of shop tools can be used. For
best results, use a heavy-duty rotary saw with a masonry, carbide
or diamond coated blade. Firm support of the panels will prevent
shifting. Turning the panel bottom-side-up gives a smooth surface
for the saw to ride on and reduces chipping. Be sure to allow
for the blade kerf (3/16") when measuring.
GRINDING -- All cut edges should be ground smooth. Use a
coarse grit, open coated (resin) grinding disk. |
 |
FINISHING -- All cut surfaces should be coated with resin to
prevent corrosion of glass fibers. A light coating of two-part resin
system or urethane spray paint is satisfactory.
INSTALLATION
-- Provide for a minimum of 1-1/2" support around all panel edges.
Use type "M" stainless steel (type 316) clips every 48"
(maximum) for full 4' x 12' panels, a minimum of four clips for any
piece.
