Open area sized for flow
Drainage grates need enough open area for the expected runoff, not just enough steel to cover the trench. Slot width and bar spacing are chosen around water volume and debris.

Why The Grate Guys
What to expect from drainage grates in Richmond Hill
Bearing edges protected
The grate has to sit on a frame or concrete ledge that can carry traffic. Weak bearing edges lead to rocking, noise, and broken concrete around the drain.
Wheel paths considered
Forklift tires, vehicle tires, pallet jacks, and pedestrian shoes all cross grates differently. Bar direction and spacing are selected so wheels do not drop into the openings.
Cleaning access included
Drainage systems collect sediment. Lift-out sections, manageable panel weights, and pry slots let crews clear the channel without wrecking the grate.
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 drainage grates 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.
