Each grate is fabricated to a 5 dimension on-site measurement in steel angle iron or aluminum, available as operable units hinged for egress code compliance or fixed units for security and debris protection. No standard opening shape required. Call EcoSpect at (855) DRY-BSMT to schedule your measurement.
