Why The Grate Guys
What to expect from custom drain covers in Hamilton
Openings match the use
Slot size and clear area are chosen for water flow, debris, cart wheels, shoes, or washdown. A cover over a kitchen drain needs a different pattern than one in a truck bay.
Lift points included
Where drains need cleaning, covers can include finger holes, pry slots, hinges, or smaller split sections. Maintenance access is part of the cover, not an afterthought.
Material suits exposure
Stainless, galvanized steel, plate, grating, or cast-style options are selected around water, salt, grease, and traffic. The finish is chosen for what runs over and through the drain.
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
Your custom drain covers is supported by Canadian-made fabrication, Canadian steel, clear local coordination, and a shop team close enough to solve site details before they become delays.
