FAQs

What channel systems is this grating compatible with?

This grating is compatible with ACO Euroline, Hexaline 2.0, Standardline, and Highline channel bodies.

Can this grating be used for car traffic?

Yes, it is designed to be passable by car, making it suitable for driveways and similar areas with vehicular traffic.

How do I clean the grating?

Clean regularly with a brush or by rinsing with water. For tougher dirt, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What does the 'R11' rating mean?

R11 is a rating according to DIN 51130, indicating a high level of slip resistance, even in wet conditions.

Is installation difficult?

No, installation is straightforward thanks to the screwless locking mechanism. Simply align and press the grating into the channel body.

What is the length and width of this grating?

The grating is 99.8 cm (approximately 1 meter) long and 11.8 cm wide.

Can I cut this grating to size?

While not explicitly recommended, plastic can be cut with appropriate tools. However, ensure any cut edges are smooth and do not compromise the structural integrity or locking mechanism.

Troubleshooting

Grating does not fit securely

Ensure you are using a compatible ACO channel body. Check that both the grating and the channel are free from debris or damage. Realign and press firmly.

Grating feels loose after installation

Verify the grating is fully engaged with the channel's locking mechanism. If the channel itself is not stable, ensure it is properly set in its bedding material.

Surface appears slippery despite being non-slip

Ensure the surface is clean. Sometimes a build-up of fine silt or algae can reduce the effectiveness of the grip. Clean thoroughly as per care instructions.

Plastic grating is cracked or damaged

Inspect the surrounding channel for any issues that may have caused impact. Replace the damaged grating. Consider a metal alternative if the area experiences very heavy or abrasive traffic.
