Looking for "durk plate" or "durk grating"

[GoEk]

Hello,
looking for what I call "durkplåt" or "durkgaller", I imagine it's what you have as floor grilles on bridges in, for example, large boats' engine rooms. Does anyone know what I mean and where one can get it?

Best regards,
Göran

Hello.

Durkplåt, in aluminum, and gallergreting I believe most hardware stores can arrange. Otherwise, you can try contacting a nearby ship chandler.

I've been looking around for tread plate. It's often available at hardware stores and also at Clas Ohlson, but usually only in rather small sizes. I haven't asked for larger pieces.

I personally love tread plate and have tried to incorporate it as a design element in the new house. My boldest idea was to have aluminum tread plate as the ceiling in the kitchen. I think it would have been insanely cool, but my girlfriend says a flat no. I'll have to start with something smaller first so she can see how stylish it is.

Try with an interior smith or sheet metal wholesaler. Very common stock item, but in the ceiling I don't know, maybe if you live in the navy's combat boat 90, otherwise not.

In my case, it's about "luftig plåt" (read: mesh), I'm going to make a cage for wood, maybe someone has another idea, considered reinforcing mesh but it's both ugly and a bit too airy.

There is star-punched sheet metal with a thickness of about 1-2 mm that is quite nice. It must be painted and it will be outdoors.

What I believe you're looking for is called "sträckplåt."

Expanded metal is available in small grids like the ones found at some bus shelters to large grids.

Hi,
...durkgaller...

It's called expanded metal. Google it!

Correct, now I know what to ask for.

 

[Gråben]

Expanded metal they probably are not!
Certainly used, but in a very small extent, like ventilation grilles or filter frames!
No, I would call them regular anti-slip plates in steel or aluminum, painted or plain!
I assume it can be a bit tricky to keep the aluminum clean when it's mounted on the ceiling, scrubbing with piasava, metal-brighter solvent, and good ventilation is probably not popular in the kitchen
Hope you find what you're looking for...
Have a nice weekend!

No not expanded metal! Sträckplåt Used for example as loading ramps on car trailers, floors in construction hoists, bus shelters, etc. As for tread plate in aluminum, there is saltwater-resistant with high corrosion protection for marine use.

 

[GoEk]

No, not expanded metal! Expanded sheet

OK, is it generally available from sheet metal workers? Expensive?

If you mean like this. http://www.sjmab.se/res/Produktbilder/durkplat.jpg they have quite large pieces at Bauhaus. I think they were 1.5x1.5m or similar, but I have no idea about the price and their prices are not listed on their website.
