When choosing safe and sustainable flooring for your work environment, steel is one of the best solutions. Here at Lionweld Kennedy, we manufacture steel industrial flooring options to suit many different industries and applications, but which is best for your project?
If you are looking for more details, kindly visit our website.
We are experts in steel fabrication and produce two primary types of steel flooring; Safegrid and Safedeck. Each has distinct advantages depending on where they are to be used.
The main difference between the two types of flooring is that Safegrid is open mesh flooring, whereas Safedeck is a solid top flooring option. Safegrid excels at distributing heat so is commonly used in data centres to allow for continuous air flow throughout the building. It is also synonymous with offshore oil & gas platforms, becoming known in the industry as &#;Kennedy grating&#;. Safedeck, on the other hand, is excellent at retaining spills of fluids, ingredients and powders. For this reason, it is often the preferred flooring choice for food manufacturing, pharmaceutical and petrochemical industries.
This article will take an in-depth look at Safegrid and Safedeck steel flooring. We will explore the key advantages that each flooring type holds and how each of their key features would suit the different needs of different industries.
Safegrid from Lionweld Kennedy is the industry standard for steel grate open mesh flooring, manufactured in the UK for over 100 years. Safegrid offers a safe, sustainable and compliant solution when considering steel flooring options.
Safegrid is an industry-leading flooring system that provides many key advantages for your project, including having an extremely high performance to weight ratio. The structure of the grating creates a system of load bearing capabilities as the weight is spread evenly across multiple reinforced points within the structure.
We are working hard to ensure that we minimise our impact on the environment as much as possible. By offering our Safegrid steel flooring in only three variants, we are optimising our use of steel whilst ensuring we remain compliant with British and European standards and maximising our product efficiencies. Where ball proofing is not required, we offer Utility grating which is the most effective and sustainable steel flooring solution on the market that is compliant and fit for purpose whilst using the least amount of steel.
Thanks to the quality steel we use to manufacture our steel grating flooring, all of our products, including Safegrid, are low maintenance and highly resistant to damage, corrosion, weather and other environmental factors. Ensuring this quality throughout our products, means our products are built to last and once installed, there is little maintenance costs or time involved compared to some other industrial flooring types.
Our Safegrid flooring is also available with either plain or serrated bars, with serrated providing extra slip resistance for applications that require it.
. Our innovative ball proof grating ensures safety and compliancy is at the forefront of the manufacturing process with all of our products, including Safegrid &#; our steel flooring solution that complies with British and European ball proofing standards. Read our Guide to Ball Proof Compliance to find out more.
By reducing our Safegrid product range to only provide our three compliant options, we are delivering the most sustainable and efficient range of industry-compliant products to market, which help to further reduce our carbon footprint.
Safegrid steel mesh flooring panels as available with 20mm ball proofing, 35mm ball proofing or utility grating. No matter the requirements of your project, we&#;ve got you covered.
Safegrid is the first steel grating in the world to have an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD). An EPD transparently reports the environmental performance of a product within its entire lifespan. This is measured from the material extraction for manufacturing, transporting the product, to its usage stage to its end-of-life removal. Lionweld Kennedy have invested in developing an EPD for our &#;Safegrid&#; open mesh flooring as part of our efforts to lead a better change in steel manufacturing. Through transparently reporting the environmental performance of a product, we can provide sustainability within a supply chain which allows Safegrid to be a safe and sustainable product.
Safedeck is a closed flooring system comprising of our Safegrid steel flooring, with a solid Durbar plate fixed to the top surface to provide strength and stability to the walking surface. You can choose between a 3mm, 4.5mm & 6mm, depending on the requirements of the area including load bearing weight requirements. Our steel Safedeck flooring delivers a safe and slip resistant surface that is capable of bearing significant amounts of weight.
Using Safedeck steel flooring is a time and cost-effective solution for your industrial flooring requirements thanks to the low levels of maintenance required, the long life span of our steel flooring and the ease of installation, reducing time on site and subsequent labour costs. Both prefabricated and custom fabricated safedeck flooring can be installed quickly and efficiently thanks to the nature of prefabricated products, and the in-depth design process we offer with our custom fabricated flooring solutions. Creating such detailed designs and plans ensures the time spent on installation is as efficient as possible.
When looking for steel flooring that is built to last no matter the conditions, Safedeck is an excellent choice. Our steel flooring is manufactured with strength and safety in mind. It is manufactured on our fully compliant 35mm ball proof Safegrid grating with the addition of the durbar plate to enclose the structure. This helps spread the weight of any load on the surface, providing the most economical use of steel and the greatest capacity for load bearing. This dual aspect ensures that Safedeck can withstand much larger loads than other types of grating or industrial flooring.
Steel is an material designed to withstand an array of conditions in many different environments; it is anti-corrosive and weather resistant, adding to the long lifespan of the product and making it a versatile option for a number of different applications.
As with all steel flooring, Safedeck is highly resistant to corrosion. Steel is a low-maintenance material that will stand the test of time and maintain its quality and strength under the harshest weather and working conditions.

The trend of using corrugated steel floors when building pre-fabricated houses is preferred by many customers thanks to its high durability and fast construction time. Refer to the article below to find out information about the common types of floor in industrial houses, as well as why deck mezzanine corrugated steel floor is the optimal choice when constructing pre-fabricated steel buildings.
1.Common floor types for pre-fabricated steel buildings
1.1 Concrete Floor
Concrete floors are chosen by many customers when building pre-fabricated steel buildings because of many outstanding advantages. Besides good bearing capacity, concrete floors also have high durability and good fire resistance.
1.2 Cemboard Cement Sheet Floor
Cemboard cement floor has the greatest advantage of being compact, easy to install, fast construction so it is often used in mezzanine flooring works, advanced renovation, especially the construction of civil pre-fabricated houses.
Thanks to the close attachment of ultrafine components such as silica, cellulose fibers and Portland cement, cemboard cement sheet floors have a certain hardness and good bearing. However, the horizontal bearing capacity of the cemboard plate is quite underestimated and the flexibility is not high. In addition, the cost of the product also has a greater difference than the same material lines. Therefore, the applicability of cemboard cement sheet floors in pre-fabricated steel houses is still very low.
1.3 Pre-fabricated Lightweight Concrete Panel Floor
Pre-fabricated lightweight concrete panels are also selected by many customers in construction, especially with civil works. Thanks to its lightweight, the product is suitable for installation in upgraded buildings that cannot be changed much in foundation structures or those with weak ground.
1.4 Deck floor
Deck floor is a combination of armored concrete and corrugated steel deck floor, which is often applied in mezzanine floor and standard floor in pre-fabricated steel buildings. The main component of the corrugated steel floor deck is galvanized steel to help the product have high durability, good corrosion resistance. In addition, galvanized steel also possesses a shiny, beautiful appearance, contributing to increasing the aesthetics of the building. In terms of structure, the floor corrugated iron waves are large so there is high bearing capacity.
Corrugated steel floor deck is very popular in the construction of pre-fabricated steel floor (Source: Pebsteel)The installation of a corrugated steel floor deck does not require many complicated stages. The investor can construct multiple deck floors at the same time without using the formwork like traditional concrete casting floor. As a result, the floor construction time is shortened while saving the amount of concrete used, helping investors optimize construction costs. Currently, deck floor is commonly applied in pre-fabricated steel frame works such as showrooms, office buildings, factories, warehouses &#;
