Over the years Techdek metal grating has served a huge variety of purposes, including bridges and cycle paths, staging and platforms, access and maintenance galleries, roof access walkways, screens and cladding, balustrade infills, ventilation grilles, suspended celings and solar shading louvres.

Techdek is an ecologically friendly product that is also lightweight yet extremely strong. Its modular connection system requires no welding for assembly on site. The Techdek range offer a choice of distinct metal grating and grille profiles to suit particular environments: for example, T-bar grilles combine a generous contact area with fast drainage for decking and elevated flooring such as balconies whilst ribbed and serrated surfaces provide non-slip qualities to safeguard against hazardous conditions. We also provide dual purpose walkway/solar shading grilles with alternate louvres.

Grille Profiles

Neatdek

Neatdek
The Neatdek 'T' bar open grille system provides a generous 74% contact area in flooring application, yet allows water and other liquids to drain safely away.

It is available with a plain surface, cambered slightly to assist drainage, or with a longitudinally ribbed finish (with or without transverse serrations).

Neatdek is a popular solution for decking applications and elevated floors such as balconies.
Flat Bar

Flat Bar
Utilising a proven design concept, our Flat Bar system provides a lightweight, economical solution.

Flat Bar is available in two standard thicknesses, but can be application engineered to meet bespoke requirements.

The system is an especially popular specification for screening applications.
Ni Bar

Ni Bar
N-I Bar's ribbed surface makes it an ideal choice for environments in which non-slip qualities are important.

Fitted in the same way as Neatdek and Flat Bar, N-I Bar boasts a high strength-to-weight ratio and a particularly attractive appearance.
Louvredek

Louvredek
Louvredek's dual purpose walkway/sunscreen profile is manufactured from panels comprising alternate louvre extrusions and aluminium rectangular flat bars.

If a walkway is not required, an alternative sunscreen profile is available with the louvre sections only.
Neatdek 188

Neatdek 188
Neatdek 188 features concealed drainage gaps below the surface to provide an unrivalled combination of privacy, low maintenance and safety underfoot.

Its unique T-bar design appears to be closed but is actually open, completely restricting the view from above and below whilst keeping litter and other items on the surface for easy cleaning.

The absence of gaps on the foot contact area also makes it suitable to walk in any type of footwear, including stilettos.
Serrated Flat Bar

Serrated Flat Bar
The Serrated Flat Bar provides sure footing in hazardous conditions with its anti-slip surface.

It achieved the highest slip resistance in independent testing.
Serrated Ni Bar

Serrated Ni Bar
The Serrated N-I Bar provides sure footing in hazardous conditions with its anti-slip surface.

It achieved the highest slip resistance in independent testing.
Brise Soleil

Brise Soleil
Brise Soleil uses curved alternate louvre extrusions to provide the same high performance as our Louvredek system, either as a combined walkway/sunscreen or solely as a sunscreen.

The system can be installed anywhere required: underfoot, on an angle or overhead.

Applications

Bridge Paths

Bridge Paths
Our Neatdek grille system has become a popular choice for bridge applications, having been specified as decking, cycle ways and pedestrian paths at some of the UK's most prestigious schemes, including the Gateshead Millennium Bridge, the Living Bridge in Limerick, Media City in Salford Quays, the Peace Bridge in Londonderry and the Twin Sails Bridge in Poole Harbour.

The T-Bar profile provides a 74 per cent contact area on the surface yet drains water efficiently and its swage-locked construction between the bars enables high structural efficiency. Those qualities - combined with a maintenance-free durability and the option of a serrated anti-slip surface for increased safety - make Neatdek an ideal specification for the external conditions and high traffic demands of a typical bridge environment. Its versatile modularity can adapt to unusual angles and curvatures, allowing it to serve some of the most creative aspects seen in contemporary bridge architecture.
Access Walkways

Access Walkways
Techdek access walkway grilles provide safe, secure and long-term access solutions for general access, cleaning and maintenance of building exteriors and roofs. Access walkway panels are lightweight for ease of handling yet strong in construction with a patented swage-locked design which provides high structural efficiency and an impressive load-bearing capacity. A serrated surface can be specified for the highest slip resistance.
Decking & Balconies

Decking & Balconies
neaco's modular grilles are suitable for all types of flooring applications with metal grating solutions for both external and internal environments. Typical uses include balcony floors, residential terrace decking and grating in public spaces. The aluminium grilles are extremely durable in external environments, providing a maintenance-free alternative to timber decking and flooring which requires ongoing treatment, especially in more exposed conditions.

Our Neatdek profile is the most commonly chosen profile for floor and decking applications. The Neatdek 'T' bar profile provides a generous 74% contact area in flooring applications, yet allows water and other liquids to drain safely away. Neatdek is available with a plain surface, cambered slightly to assist drainage, or with a longitudinally ribbed finish (with or without transverse serrations). Neatdek and Neatdek 188 are the standard flooring options for neaco's Clearview step-out balconies. They are ideal for elevated floors such as balconies because, unlike some metal grating, their T-bar profile restricts the view through the flooring from both above and below, thus providing greater privacy for building occupants.
Ventilation

Ventilation
Techdek modular grilles are ideal for ventilation applications, from ground floor ventilation grilles to upper floor ventilation and ceiling ventilation grilles. Unlike many metal grating products, Techdek is available a range of profiles which vary in terms of surface area percentage, thus offering different levels of ventilation according to choice. For example, the Neatdek 'T' bar profile provides a 74% surface area for applications requiring a lower degree of ventilation, in contrasts to the Flat Bar profile which maximises ventilation with greater space between grille bars providing more airflow.

The N-I Bar profile is also a suitable choice for ventilation grilles. Its high strength-to-weight ratio, combined with a ribbed surface providing excellent non-slip qualities, make it an ideal choice for ventilation grilles which are subject to foot traffic.
Solar Shading

Solar Shading
neaco have developed two open grille profiles - Louvredek and Brise Soleil - which are specifically designed for solar shading purposes, providing excellent sunscreen performance combined with the ability to function as a walkway at the same time.

Although at first glance they appear to be regular metal grating, Louvredek and Brise Soleil's walkway/sunscreens achieve the optimum benefits of natural sunlight whilst creating an energy-efficient environment in any building. Readily adaptable to your specific design requirements, the two systems can be installed anywhere required: underfoot, on an angle or overhead. They greatly reduce the net heat gain (commonly in the order of 20-40%) of sunlight striking tinted or clear windows.
Screening & Cladding

Screening & Cladding
Techdek modular grilles are suitable for all types of screen and cladding applications, from modesty screens to security screens. Unlike many metal grating products, Techdek is available a range of profiles which vary in surface area percentage, thus offering different levels of screening according to choice. Our most popular grille profile for screening and cladding is the classic design of our Flat Bar profile which provides an excellent balance between allowing penetration of natural light and restricting visibility for greater privacy.

Techdek provides an attractive aesthetic for cladding purposes which compares favourably to many metal grating products on the market. Anodising or powder coating options are available to create a feature of the cladding panels. All Techdek profiles are extremely durable, 100% recyclable, corrosion-free and virtually maintenance-free, making them highly suitable for cladding and metal grating for exposed and industrial environments. The modular grille panels are lightweight (1/3 the weight of steel) for easy handling, installation and replacement.
Industrial Flooring

Industrial Flooring
Techdek is maintenance-free, corrosion-free, non-toxic, non-combustible.

And 100% recyclable - making it ideal for demanding industrial environments. The grilles and metal grating provide extreme durability in the atmospheric conditions of factories, chemical plants and water treatment works and the harsh exposure of lighthouses. Popular applications include access walkways, mezzanine floors and ventilation grilles. The flooring can be specified in conjunction with our Genesis industrial handrail and balustrade system.
Staging

Staging
Techdek modular grilles are suitable for all types of staging applications with metal grating solutions for both external and internal environments, from music stages and dance stages to exhibition stages and conference stages. The open grille profiles are suitable for full staging solutions or raised platforms.

Techdek's metal grating panels are highly suitable because they are lightweight yet load-bearing. The modular grille panels are 1/3 the weight of steel for easy handling, installation and replacement, making them ideal for tours in which the staging needs transportation between venues. Techdek is often chosen for stages because the grille allows light to penetrate, creating an effect that can enhance the aesthetics of a show in which lighting effects are a key element.

Techdek's swage-locked construction between the bars enables high structural efficiency. The option of a serrated anti-slip surface provides increased safety underfoot. Techdek grilles provide a high architectural aesthetic that is manufactured last and their versatile modularity can adapt to unusual angles and curvatures, allowing them to serve the most creative demands of contemporary stage design.
