Metal Grating Applied in Office Environment November 2024 The unique characteristics of the Cobermaster metallic grating allow the development of furniture pieces with a very solid and durable structure, ideal for corporate environments where frequent use causes rapid wear of furniture pieces. The use of cheap, low-quality office furniture that only guarantees good performance and appearance for 2 or 3 years is not sustainable at all and ends up becoming very expensive every time there is a need to replace it with new furniture. LUXURY Office Desk Companies are increasingly aware of these aspects, giving preference to purchasing more structurally solid and durable furniture to be able to use for much longer, avoiding unnecessary costs and unnecessary consumption of natural resources. The furniture developed by Cobermaster Concept using 3D metal grating, has a very solid and durable structure, capable of remaining in perfect condition for more than 10 years. Once needed, it can be reconfigured to serve its purpose for 10 more years.

Three-Dimensional Grating By Cobermaster Concept October 2024 Grating is a material that has existed for more than half a century in the form of a plate.  It is generally used on oil and industrial platforms to access machines and technical areas. Our R&D team decided to take this industrially used material and transform it into a type of grating with premium finishes and three-dimensional shapes that we are currently using in solutions for architecture and interior decoration! BOOKCASE Cabinet |  ECLIPSE Mirror | BLACK Center Table | STUDIO Floor Lamp To this end, we adapted this material from an aesthetic point of view, investing in the development of three-dimensional grating manufacturing processes and new forms of finishing that would allow us to obtain a final product of premium quality. As a result of our investment, we developed two distinct 3D grating processes: Welded Cobermaster 3D Grating Structurally similar to the traditional grating, with the particularity of being able to take on all types of shapes, whether round, spherical, conical or others. It is a type of grating that allows us to produce small and large three-dimensional pieces, combining design with exceptional structural performance. This type of grating is ideal for applications such as: three-dimensional facades, counters, wine racks, partitions, large sculptures, stairs, fences with round contours, retail solutions, among others. ROCKET – 3D Grating Sculpture 3D Grating Cube Display SPIDER Ceiling Lamp Not Welded Cobermaster 3D Grating This is a type of grating built using a completely innovative process without the need for welding.

Grating in the Renewable Energy Industry June 2024 Grating is an increasingly used material in various applications. Its structural capacity, the durability and flow capacity of liquids and dust gives this material unique and ideal characteristics for applications in industry and construction. One of these applications is in the renewable energy industry, more exactly in the wind industry. Grating is the material used inside the vast majority of wind towers all over the world, being used as a floor of the various levels that travel from the floor to the highest point of the towers. Grating is used inside these towers precisely because it is a structurally resistant material and allows ventilation between all levels of the towers as it allows air to pass between the steel bar mesh. Stainless stainless or galvanized finishing can be used. Galvanised grating are usually used in these towers,  as they represent a smaller cost to the stainless range and also have great corrosion resistance. The mesh normally used in this type of gradis has to be fit for the 20mm sphere test. It has quadments with squares of less than 20mm to ensure that no object with the dimensions equal to or greater than a 20mm sphere can fall into the lower floors. This is a safety measure to avoid occupational accidents caused by the fall of heavy objects on workers. Artigo anterior

Types of Finishes For Metallic Grating May 2024 Grating can be produced in various different material types and can later be completed with various different types of finishes. Starting with the types of materials we have: Carbon Steel It is the most widely used material in gradile manufacture due to its good structural and low cost performance. Stainless Steel It is also widely used but in more specific situations such as industrial food sector facilities. These are facilities that require easy to wash materials, anti-oxidable and do not release waste over time. However stainless steel is substantially more expensive than carbon steel.  Plastic It is an alternative to metal, especially for contact with acid products. However, it does not have the structural characteristics of the metallic gradile and its durability to the smaller.  Aluminum It is essentially used for decorative applications, where low weight, anti -oxidizing material is intended that can be lacked in many different colors. It is widely used in gradile for false ceilings and partitions. Then we have the final finishes. The most common and which are offered by almost all manufacturers are the ones that follow.  Hot-Dip Galvanization The grating is dipped in a bath consisting of a zinc alloy about 600 centigrated degrees. This finish is applied to the carbon steel, ensuring excellent anti oxidizing protection. The final aspect is a gray silver with a rough and irregular texture. This process is only applied to carbon steel grating. Electrostatic Powder Color Lacquering It is the best process for painting this material. There are numerous types of RAL available on the market. The electrostatic lacquering process allows a homogeneous painting throughout the surface of the grating. The painting of this material with liquid paint is not advisable due to the huge difficulty that the grating mesh represent for the homogeneous distribution of the paint. This process can be used in iron, stainless steel and aluminum grating. Special Lacquering with Electrostatic Powder It is a similar process to the previous one, however, post-specific formula combinations are used that allow metallic final finishes. With this process it is possible to obtain gold, bronzes and chrome finishes. They are premium finishes, used in grating with applications in the area of ​​architecture and interior decoration. Velvet Coating It is a process that uses velvet remains in very thin particles, which are applied to the surface of the grating through an electrostatic collage process. The result is a perfect velvety surface that completely transforms the final piece, giving a warmer and more comfortable look ideal for use in interior decoration. The system developed by COBERMASTER allows the application of velvet even to the most complex grating parts, ensuring a uniform and perfect texture. Cork Coating It is a process very similar to the previous one. In this case, very thin particles of cork to coating the metallic grating are used. These particles come from production remains, even of remains that have already been reused until its limit. The end result is a very comfortable grating piece and a very interesting visual look for application in architectural solutions and interior decoration. Coating with Silica and Sands The same concept of the two previous processes is used. In this case, very thin particles of silica and decorative sands are used to produce a front coating, which can be produced in many different colors according to the client’s project. Cobermaster, a grating manufacturer in Portugal, manufactures gratings with premium final finishes, which allow the application of this material in sophisticated high decoration environments.

Types of Grating Existing on the Market March 2024 Several different types of grating are available all over the world, for different applications according to the needs of each project. The most common types of grating are: Eletrowelded Grating Consisting of the crossing between bars and rods through contact fusion. The rods may be smooth or twisted and the bars may also be smooth or serrated. The serrated bars and twisted rods give the railing a greater anti-slip effect. Pressed Grating Consisting of the crossing of bars with bars through a pressing system that fixes the bars under pressure. The bars may be smooth or serrated. Being serrated allows for a greater anti-slip effect on the railing. The pressing grating manufacturing system is most used for the production of light gratings, with thinner thicknesses. Typically up to 4.0mm. The Mechanical manufacturing system is used for gratings supporting large loads and requiring higher bar thicknesses. Mechanical Grating Used to support large loads, this type of grating is produced with wider bars and thicker bars that can start at 5.0mm and go up to 20.0mm. In these cases, manufacturing is resorted to using a mechanical process, which is more manual than the previous two and consists of fitting and welding the bars more manually, using deeper and longer welds to guarantee connections that are strong enough for the loads to be handled. to support. In addition to the flat grating, there is also the three-dimensional grating developed by the Portuguese company Cobermaster and which has wider applications, particularly in architecture and interior decoration. The three-dimensional grating can be produced using a welding process, such as electro-welded and mechanical grating. Cobermaster has also developed an innovative process for manufacturing three-dimensional gratings by fitting that completely excludes the use of welding, thus guaranteeing a perfect, millimetric finish.
