Stainless steel foot grilles and metal floor grids do a lot to keep your business clean, as they prevent chemical and dirt pollutants from tracking across your lobby and throughout your building. They also typically require less cleaning and maintenance than traditional floor mats and provide an aesthetically pleasing addition to your entryway. If your building sees a heavy flow of foot traffic, this is probably the flooring system for you.

Do I Need a Stainless Steel Foot Grille?

Metal floor grids are ideal for buildings with high pedestrian traffic, including:

• Train stations and airports.
• Government buildings: courthouses, libraries, museums, etc.
• Healthcare facilities.
• Entertainment and shopping centers.

‍

You should also consider the weight of foot traffic in addition to the volume. If your entryway welcomes luggage carts or deliveries, for example, you should consider stainless grilles if nothing more than for their structural integrity. See Base Specialities’ BaseGrille, an architectural stainless steel entrance grille that is designed to handle 1,000 pounds per wheel rolling load.

An Effective, Low-Maintenance Flooring System

Arguably the greatest benefit of stainless steel grilles is their low-maintenance durability. They are crafted with horizontal panels that efficiently remove dirt and debris from foot traffic and wheels. As with all foot grilles and mats, stainless steel grilles should be cleaned periodically to ensure premier performance.

We recommend a weekly surface cleaning, which includes vacuuming and brushing to remove debris from between the horizontal bars. For more thorough cleaning, remove the grilles from the recess and then vacuum or power spray them. While stainless steel is resistant to rusting and other common forms of deterioration, exposure to some elements – such as iron residue – can damage its surface over time. You can treat these surface “stains” with most cleaning solutions designed for stainless steel products. Consult your owners’ manual or contact us for more cleaning guidance.
