AMICO

Expanded metal is made from sheet stock and is simultaneously slit and stretched into a rigid, non-raveling open mesh. This process creates strands and bonds that form a sharp angle to the original plane of the sheet. This gives the material a rough texture, well suited for adhering other materials to or creating a non-slip surface. This material can then be cold-rolled to its originally flattened state, which creates what is called flattened expanded metal. Flattened expanded is useful when the rough texture of regular expanded metal is not desirable and is used mostly in decorative or architectural applications. Expanded metal grating is typically used for walkways and is made from heavier plate with larger openings (diamonds).

• Materials: Carbon steel, Stainless steel and Aluminum 

• Applications: Catwalks, Elevated walkways, Architectural and décor, Sunshade, Vehicle steps and running boards, Concrete and plaster reinforcement, Outdoor furniture, Partition security, Grilles, Tunnel linings, Stair treads, Shelving, Sewage filters, Heater guards, Shellfish pots, Machine guards, Fencing, Conveyor guards
   

AMICO produces Diamond-Grip, Safety-Grip and Safety-Tread plank grating. Plank grating is a one-piece metal plank manufactured by a cold forming process in the shape of a channel. The web of the channel is the walking surface and has small openings punched into the walking surface to provide excellent slip resistance. These opening can be diamond shaped or round. This is an ideal product for industrial catwalks and walkways as it provides maximum slip resistance, is self-cleaning (debris tends to fall through the openings), and is very simple and economical to install. The one-piece construction is self-supporting and has a very high strength to weight ratio. AMICO also makes Safety Tread Flooring which can cover large areas to provide slip resistance while allowing fluids to pass through. 

• Materials: Carbon steel (bare, galvanized and pre-galvanized), Stainless steel and Aluminum

• Applications: Walkways, Catwalks, Stair treads, Ramps, Maintenance stands, Ladder treads, Factory flooring, Cell phone towers, Scaffolding  

AMICO’s subsidiary, SeaSafe, is a manufacturer of GatorGrate molded fiberglass grating which is ideal where lightweight, fire-retardant grating is required. Standard panels are available in three resin systems (PFR, IFR Plus, and VFR), two top-surface configurations, four panel sizes and five standard grid patterns. This product has excellent slip resistance, performs well in harsh environments, and is easy to cut and install. For outdoor deck surfaces, consider using SeaSafe GatorGrate grating instead of treated lumber. It lasts far longer, allows passage of light and debris, and does not leach caustic chemicals into the environment. For applications where higher strength is required, consider SeaSafe Gatordeck Pultruded Grating, made in I-bar and T-bar configurations depending on your requirements. SeaSafe also makes GatorPlate floor plate which is useful when creating a non-slip surface over a large area; it can also be attached to the top of SeaSafe grating when a smoother walking surface is desired. 

• Materials: Reinforced polyester or vinylester, PFR, IFR Plus and VFR resin systems, Pultruded molding 

• Applications: Floor systems, Walkways, Work platforms, Stairs, Ramps, Trench covers, Catwalks. Suitable for harsh environments and industries including: Maritime, Oil/gas, Mining, Smelting, Refining, Food processing, Beverage, Chemical processing, Water and wastewater treatment facilities, Metal finishing, Pulp & paper, Transportation, Pharmaceutical and Textile. 

Amico also has a full line of building products which will help you get the job done with ease. 

Metal Lath is manufactured in 1.75, 2.5 and 3.4 sizes, in both flat and dimpled, and offered with or without paperback. Each sheet has square ends and smooth parallel edges on sides for fast, easy handling and bending for curved surfaces. G60 galvanized finish to ASTM A653 and ASTM C847 is available. Beads, control joints, and screeds are also offered to support the use of our metal lath.

STAY-FORM® is Amico’s proprietary wall form technology that will save you time and money on the job site. Our easy to cut, easy to use, concrete forming system, which can be used for forming bulkheads, tunnels or any below-grade structure will save you from using traditional concrete forms that have to be removed, cleaned, and transported. Stay-forms concrete form systems do not require stripping after the concrete pour and rebar or metal fabricated bracings can also be left in place. Beware of imitators and be sure you are purchasing the original Stay-in-place “STAY-FORM®”

Amico offers a plethora of Vinyl accessories which cover your Bead, Control Joint, Reveals, Screeds, and Soffit needs. Products such as E-Z Bead®, SPEED BEAD, and HYDRODRY® help you with all of your wall needs to keep water and moisture out.
