What is a running grate?
A running grate is a special device installed on the roof to allow safe walking and working. Especially during roof maintenance or when accessing the chimney, a running grate provides stability and protection against falls.
What material is a running grate made of?
Running grates are usually made of galvanized steel, as this material is corrosion-resistant and durable. Alternatively, there are aluminium models that are lighter while still offering a high load-bearing capacity.
What makes a high-quality running grate?
A high-quality running grate is characterised by robust workmanship, non-slip surfaces and easy installation. Galvanized models offer additional protection against rust, which is particularly important when exposed to the weather.
How is a running grate installed?
A running grate is installed using suitable supports that are matched to the roof shape. There are special running grate supports for corrugated roof tiles, while flat roof tiles also require their own supports. Installation should always be carried out according to the manufacturers instructions to ensure maximum safety.
