·The first, and possibly biggest, benefit to going with a stainless steel trench drain is the hygienic and sanitary factor. Due to how stainless steel is made, it is a nonporous material, making it smooth and easy to clean. This means that cleaning a stainless steel grate is much easier, and there is no chance of waste getting stuck in pores or ridges.
·Stainless steel trench drain grates are also a much safer grate option compared to grates made from materials like plastic and cast iron. For one, stainless steel trench grates have a lower profile, so there is less of a lip that people can trip over. The slots are also thinner, making it less likely that heels or walking aides will get stuck, which could cause someone to become injured.
