According to Answers.com, a metal grid is described as a “framework of crisscrossed or parallel bars; a grating or mesh.”  The metal grid pattern when used for metal flooring applications provides an open, yet secure solution for a variety of industries including food processing, metals and mining, oil and gas, military and steel mills, among others.  When a non-slip coating is applied, the metal grid provides a non-slip surface that will help keep employees and pedestrians on their feet.  Non-slip metal grid is offered in aluminum, steel, galvanized steel and stainless steel.  The open surface of the slip resistant metal grid plate allows for the drainage of slippery chemicals and other elements, but the grid spaces are close enough together to ensure secure foot to surface traction.
