Why The Grate Guys
What to expect from grating stair treads in St. Thomas
Width matches stringers
Treads are fabricated to the actual stringer spacing, bolt holes, and stair pitch. A stock tread with wrong hole locations slows installation immediately.
Open grating sheds water
Bar grating lets snow, rain, and debris pass through instead of sitting on the tread. That is why grating treads are common on exterior and industrial stairs.
End plates carry the load
End plates and welds transfer foot traffic into the stringers. Thin or misaligned end plates create wobble even when the grating surface is strong.
Made in Canada
Why Canadian-made metalwork matters
Custom metalwork made in Canada gives contractors, property teams, and facilities tighter quality control, faster lead times, and fewer cross-border delays. The work is fabricated in our Toronto shop, with Canadian steel and other metals selected when the application requires them.
Custom, local, built to spec
We support your grating stair treads with Canadian-made fabrication, Canadian steel, clear local coordination, and a shop team close enough to solve site details before they become delays.
