Marine grating typically refers to a type of flooring system composed of a series of parallel bars or plates, often made from materials resistant to corrosion, such as fiberglass, aluminum, or stainless steel. The primary function of marine grating is to provide a stable walking surface while allowing for the passage of water, light, and air. This is particularly important in harsh marine environments, where traditional flooring materials may degrade quickly due to exposure to saltwater, UV radiation, and other environmental factors.
