A practical home improvement solution for securing light shafts, combining sturdy support and weather resistance. Maintenance teams and homeowners gain confidence from a finish that helps keep metal looking tidy over time. Is the FeNau Steel-Grating for Light-Shaft the right fit for your outdoor frame and access needs?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Build Quality: S235JR / ST37-2 steel, 1.5 mm material thickness, weight 7.2 kg
- • Best for: Homeowners and contractors needing a durable outdoor light-shaft cover
- • Not ideal for: Situations requiring bespoke dimensions or non-metal finishes
S235JR steel grate, mesh width 30/10 mm, external dimensions 590 x 790 x 20 mm. Designed to suit a frame of 600 x 800 x 23 mm and intended for outdoor installation.
Reliable corrosion protection - with hot-dip galvanised S235JR steel
Galvanising is applied in a full hot-dip bath, creating a zinc coating over the S235JR / ST37-2 base material. The process leaves a protective layer that slows oxidation and preserves the steel surface.
Longer-lasting external finish reduces the need for frequent repainting or replacement. Visible appearance and structural stability are maintained in outdoor conditions.
Drop-in fit for standard frames - with precise grate dimensions
Grate measures 590 x 790 x 20 mm across length, width and height, while the recommended frame dimension is 600 x 800 x 23 mm. Orientation is noted: supporting bar direction along the 590 mm length.
Simple placement into an existing receptacle saves installation time and effort. Suitable where a near-match frame is already installed, making replacements straightforward.
Stable edge and fill design - with U-profile surround and 30/10 mesh
U-profile surround gives a defined edge for seating in a frame, while the 30/10 mm mesh pattern and 20 mm support bar height provide structural fill. Support bars are 20 mm high with 1.5 mm material thickness.
Secure seating prevents movement when positioned in the frame, and the mesh balances openness with a protective surface. The construction supports regular external use around light shafts.
✨ The 4 Key Reasons for FeNau Steel-Grating for Light-Shaft
- Hot-dip galvanised finish - Minimises corrosion risk during prolonged outdoor exposure, reducing maintenance needs
- 30/10 mm mesh pattern - Allows airflow while keeping most leaves and debris out
- U-profile surround - Reinforces the edge, helping to prevent deformation around openings
- Drop-in compatibility - Matches common 600 x 800 mm frames, simplifying replacement or swap-outs

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the grate suitable for outdoor use?
A: Yes, the grate is intended for outdoor use, and the hot-dip galvanised finish actively protects the steel against rust.
Q: Will the grate fit a 600 x 800 mm frame?
A: The grate measures 590 x 790 x 20 mm and is listed as suitable for a frame sized 600 x 800 x 23 mm, so it is designed to fit that frame type.
Q: Should I expect residue from galvanising?
A: Yes, galvanising residues can remain in the mesh following the full hot-dip process, and traces may be present after installation.
