Gratings: more than just function

more than just function

Ventilation, load capacity, durability – gratings combine function and design in architecture. Discover inspirational projects!

Gratings left their industrial role behind them a long time ago and now impress as stylish design elements with stability, light and air permeability and exceptional weather resistance. Our selection of references shows their versatility –their combination of function and design.

1. Extremely robust & slip-resistant

Projekt reference: Sonnbergbahn (cable car) valley / mountain station + ski bridge, Maria Alm (2018)

Gratings can resist even the most extreme weather conditions. Their high corrosion resistance and load-carrying capacity make them ideal for alpine regions, whilst their slip-resistant surface ensures maximum safety – even in snow and ice.

2. Maximum resilience

SFU Vienna

Projekt reference: SFU Vienna (2019)

Gratings are a stable and resistant solution for busy interior areas. They are suitable for staircases, platforms and walkways, as they are durable and visually attractive at the same time.

3. Air & light permeability

Codico Holding, Perchtoldsdorf

Projekt reference: Codico Holding, Perchtoldsdorf (2019)

Gratings allow natural ventilation and light permeability – a functional advantage, especially in multi-storey car parks. They are, however, not just practical: their open structure gives the façade a modern, airy look.

4. Stylish

Residential Complex Vivenotgasse, Vienna

Projekt reference: Residential Complex Vivenotgasse, Vienna (2014)

Gratings create architectural focal points and emphasize balconies in a stylish way. They provide protection against people looking in, allow air to circulate and convince by means of durability and the fact that they are maintenance-free – an aesthetic solution with added functional value.

5. Timeless beauty

Residential Complex Seefeldergasse

Projekt reference: Residential Complex Seefeldergasse (2014)

Gratings bring structure and lightness to fence design. Their open, geometric form provides visual protection, without creating a barrier and gives outdoor areas a modern, clean look. At the same time, they are weather resistant, stable and almost maintenance-free.
