Pemko 228A 36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Pemko 228 floor plate used for?
The Pemko 228 is a safety tread floor plate designed to provide slip resistance at door thresholds and transitions. It installs flush with the floor surface to create a smooth transition while maintaining traction.
2) What doors and openings is this floor plate compatible with?
The 8-inch width accommodates most standard commercial and residential door openings. Verify your door width before ordering. The 1/4-inch height works with most floor transitions and carpet edge conditions.
3) How do you determine the correct length needed?
Measure the door opening width plus any overlap needed for proper installation. Standard lengths are available from Pemko. The plate should extend slightly beyond the door frame for complete coverage.
4) What finish options are available for the Pemko 228?
Pemko floor plates typically come in mill aluminum finish. Some models may offer anodized or painted finishes. Check the specific product listing for available finish options or contact for custom requirements.
5) What is the weight capacity and durability rating?
Pemko floor plates are designed for heavy-duty commercial use. The aluminum construction provides excellent durability for high-traffic applications. Verify load requirements with manufacturer specifications for your specific installation.
6) Does this floor plate meet building code requirements?
The safety tread design helps meet slip resistance requirements in many building codes. However, verify local ADA and building code compliance for your specific application and jurisdiction before installation.
7) What mounting hardware is included with the Pemko 228?
Check the product specifications for included hardware. Most Pemko floor plates require separate fasteners selected based on your floor substrate. Use appropriate screws or anchors for concrete, wood, or steel installations.
8) How do you install the Pemko 228 floor plate?
Installation requires cutting the floor recess to accommodate the 1/4-inch height. Mark the position, cut the recess, test fit the plate, then secure with appropriate fasteners. Follow manufacturer templates for precise installation.
9) How do you maintain and clean safety tread floor plates?
Clean regularly with mild detergent and water to maintain traction. Remove debris from tread grooves using a stiff brush. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the aluminum finish or reduce slip resistance.
10) What other Pemko floor plates are available as alternatives?
Pemko offers various widths and heights in their floor plate series. Consider different tread patterns or smooth finishes based on your application. Browse our Pemko products for comparable models.
11) Can this floor plate be used in exterior applications?
Aluminum construction provides good weather resistance for many exterior applications. However, verify the specific grade and finish suitability for your climate conditions and exposure requirements before outdoor installation.
12) How do you measure for proper floor plate sizing?
Measure the door opening width and the available floor space. Account for door swing clearance and any adjacent trim or molding. The 8-inch width should provide adequate coverage for most applications while allowing proper door operation.
