Opening shape measured
Drain covers are made to the actual opening, including out-of-square corners, worn frames, and patched concrete edges. A nominal size often misses older drain conditions.

Why The Grate Guys
What to expect from drain covers
Slots suit debris load
Leaves, food waste, gravel, grease, and washdown water all need different slot patterns. The cover should pass water without becoming a debris tray.
Traffic rating selected
Foot traffic, carts, cars, and forklifts impose different loads on a drain cover. Plate thickness, ribs, or grating depth are chosen around the crossing load.
Removable without damage
Drain covers often need to be lifted for cleaning. Handles, pry points, hinges, or smaller panels prevent staff from bending the cover or chipping the frame.
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 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.
Our Process

The Grate Guys builds drain covers around drawings, measurements, traffic duty, finish exposure, and installation constraints using galvanized steel, powder-coat, stainless details, or heavier plate selected around corrosion and traffic exposure, made to order in our Toronto shop, licensed, insured, and WSIB-covered, with a workmanship warranty on every order, supplied and installed across the GTA and shipped Canada-wide.
