FLOORING > SAFE LOAD TABLES FOR MILD STEEL DIAMOND PATTERN FLOORING
Deflection limited to span/200 or 10mm whichever is lesser.
Loads shown to the right of the thick blue line are below 5 kN/m2 the minimum design requirements of BS.4592.
Note: We also manufacture open type flooring of a similar pattern constructed from aluminium.
For safe loads on aluminium flooring multiply tabular loads by 0.35.
1 kN/m2 = 101.9718 kg f/m2 = 20.8854 Ib f/ft2.

TYPE ‘FLS’
Steelway Type ‘FLS’ serrated flooring
is available ranging in depths from
25mm (Type FLS 25) up to 50mm
Type FLS 50).Pressed spacer bars have
a serrated edge providing extra grip
for the user on the walking surface.
Serrated flooring, apart from the
serrated surface, is supplied in
panels of similar specification to
our standards Type ‘FL’ flooring.

TYPE ‘FLP’
Flooring has a solid surface of
4.5mm thick non-slip Durbar pattern
plate or alternatively plain surface plate
as preferred, welded to the top face of
type ‘FL’ open flooring. Type ‘FLP’ covers
may be used alongside type ‘FL’ or ‘FLS’
flooring of matching depth, without a
trip, to provide a virtually sealed floor
area over machinery or other sensitive
equipment, whilst retaining the
advantage of open type flooring in other
areas. This type of cover also provides
better distribution of highly concentrated
point loads across a panel without the
usual distortion.

Covers can be supplied in a range of
depths from 30mm (FLP 30) to 55mm
FLP 55).
For particularly slippery conditions a
carborundum surface finish for solid
covers is available.
‘FLP’ floor covers and open type
flooring panels have been used
extensively for raised flooring
systems, thus allowing easy access to
services below should the need arise.
Example: FLP 30 is FL 25 + 4.5mm
plate cover. |
