Flowforge Flooring
Redman Fisher open steel rectangular pattern ooring is constructed from mild steel to BS EN 10 025 Fe430A and is constructed by a forgewelding process in which the load bearing and transverse bars are heated and joined under pressure.
Applications
Flowforge is suitable for most ooring walkways, gantries, platforms etc and has been used upright as fencing. Serrated Flowforge gives improved grip in oil and icy conditions for improved performance particularly for the offshore industry. * Load tables are available on page 15 & 16.

Bar Arrangements
Many types of owforge bar arrangements have been developed to comply with worldwide application and safety requirements and allow a customer to choose a ooring to match loading requirements. In addition, a range of smaller mesh sizes gives the added safety feature of stopping objects from passing between the bars and increased areas of underfoot contact. Transverse bar are 6mm twisted square bar, but others are available. Flowforge is available is standard panel form, normally from stock, in nominal 6m x 1m lengths. All fabrication is done from these 6m x 1m nominal mats to suit individual requirements.
Standard Range
The basic substructure of Flowdeck is Flowforge Open Steel Flooring with load bearing bars at 41mm pitch (5mm thick for heavy duty type) with 6mm transverse bars welded at 100mm centres and a surface plate of 3mm thick durbar pattern chequer plate welded to the substructure. Special Flowdeck ooring can also be designed to suit wheel loadings.

Diamond Pattern
In addition to our rectangular pattern ooring we can also supply our range of Safeway Diamond Pattern ooring in Mild Steel. This ooring is constructed of load bars spaced at either 38mm or 20mm separated by pressed spacer bars welded on underside at every junction. This is a traditionally a strong and stable ooring which gives an excellent feeling of complete security and safety which is especially important when working at high levels, but it also retains the benets over solid plate ooring of transmission of light and air.
Flowgrid
Flowgrid is available with load bearing bars at 50mm pitch with 12mm square bars securely welded to the load bearing bars at 100mm pitch. Other bar arrangements are available on request, dependant of quantity.
Applications
Diamond Pattern ooring is particularly suited for:

Flowgrip
Flowgrip is an extruded aluminium ooring with a ribbed pattern giving a slip resistant top surface. It gives maximum structural performance under corrosive conditions and can be cut to any shape to suit individual requirements. Flowgrip has a very high strength to weight ratio and its lightweight, maintenance free qualities have led it to be used extensively in many areas. Available in two different depths (40mm deep and 25mm deep), both with a plain surface, serrated surface and slotted plank to assist slip resistant and drainage if required.
Open aluminium ooring is of a pressure locked construction with special transverse bars pressed into a retaining notch, within the load bearing bars giving a locked-secure joint with no dependence on welding.
Applications
I I I I
Standard planks are 6m long by a nominal 250mm wide but Flowgrip is also supplied in a fully fabricated form to suit a clients requirement.
