01 / General
-
All of our decorative tree grate collections are ADA-compliant, except for the Fireworks Collection, which features larger hole sizes. ADA compliance is crucial for creating safe and accessible public spaces for everyone. It also helps prevent accidents by minimising trip hazards in pedestrianised areas.
-
Yes, some of our commercial tree grates can be adjusted as the tree matures, allowing enough room for healthy root and trunk growth. If you need a tree grate that caters for a specific tree type, then we can advise on the most expandable tree grate options.
-
All our decorative grates come in a choice of styles, colours and sizes. Plus, you can customise our tree grates further with logos, emblems and unique configurations. A minimum order may apply depending on the level of customisations needed. To find out more about custom tree grates, visit our custom solutions page or get in touch.
-
Our decorative tree grates are only designed to withstand heavy pedestrian traffic, so are suitable for areas such as walkways, plazas, and public spaces. For areas with vehicle access, we recommend considering other Jonite products like trench grates, which have been engineered for higher load ratings.
-
Jonite tree grates have been designed to withstand all weather conditions. Unlike cast iron grates, the engineered stone finish of our modern tree grates does not rust, chip, or conduct heat, making it a more reliable and longer-lasting choice. Our decorative tree grates are also lighter than cast iron, making them easier to install and maintain.
-
The matte finish of our tree grates means they are naturally non-slip. We’ve conducted Pendulum and Ramp tests on all our commercial tree grates to make sure they meet industry standards for slip resistance. With a class V on the Pendulum test and an R10 on the Ramp test, our modern tree grates can handle most locations and applications.
-
By facilitating more effective drainage, Jonite tree grates help create healthier green spaces in towns and cities. The precise openings in our decorative tree grates allow rainwater to pass through to the soil beneath, supporting healthy tree growth. This commercial tree grate design helps to prevent waterlogging while filtering out debris.
-
In extremely hot weather, metal tree grates can create a heat band around the tree, increasing the risk of heat stress on the roots. The stone material in our decorative tree grates remains cooler, providing a more stable and comfortable environment for the tree and surrounding areas, which is especially important in urban climates.
-
We’re committed to building better places for people and our planet. We manage our energy, water, and waste with the future in mind. We also use at least 30% recycled aggregates in our stone grating products, which reduces carbon emissions by up to 80%. All our decorative grating is Singapore Green Building Product (SGBP) certified (4 ticks, leader). This means when you choose our commercial tree grates, you can score additional points under the Functional Systems Criteria (Flooring, Ceiling, Roof, External Wall, Internal Wall and Door systems) and/or Singular Sustainable Products outside of Functional Systems Criteria.

-

-
All our grating products are designed for easy maintenance. We recommend regularly cleaning with mild soap and water to remove dirt and debris while avoiding harsh chemicals that could damage the composite surface. Periodic inspections to check for buildup in drainage openings will help maintain optimal performance. For more detailed maintenance instructions, please consult our maintenance guide.
-
We do not recommend cutting Jonite grates, as this may compromise the internal reinforcements. However, certain pieces, such as blank-ends and grate-tiles, are specifically designed to be cut to fit odd ends and angles. For the best results, we recommend consulting with a professional installer.
