Bordered Cover Styles

Bordered Covers provide protection for your flooring material edges. All of the flooring material becomes recessed into the protective frame. The cover is reversible, e.g. the 1/4” cover with an 1/8” offset is the reverse side of the 1/2” offset.

Due to its deep setting design the cover requires no screws or fasteners to secure it in place.

Any type, finish or style of covers can be paired together.

SEE THE PAGE ON PARTIAL COVERS IF A CUSTOM SIZE IS REQUIRED OR IF PART OF THE PIT COVER IS TO REMAIN OPEN.

Partial Cover Styles

Partial Covers are available to cover less than the total pit opening. This can allow for an area to remain open for mechanicals to pass through.

Custom sizes are available along with special configuration.

Cover Supports

Cover Supports are recommended on larger covers or those subjected to heavier loading and/or traffic.

Cover Supports are recommended on covers over 30” square or on partial covers where one edge does not rest on the frame and is subject to traffic weight.

NOTE:
Pit covers and frames are engineered for light and medium surface loads that are usually applied with their indoor use.

Calculations are based on:

Covers informally loaded.

All four edges being supported.

A maximum deflection of L/150 of the short side. Maximum allowed shear strength is greater.

Cover supports are used to strengthen plate and reduce the deflection rate. No strength ratings are available for this configuration.
