My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

We'd like to use aluminum grating in a few places around our pool

8 years ago
Is it comfortable on bare feet? It will most likely be used in the shade, and I assume aluminum does not get too hot as long as there is no direct sunlight?

    Hi Paul! Thank you for your interest in McNICHOLS products. You are correct in thinking aluminum would not get as hot as other metal products. The grating used at the Margarido House was a standard spaced grating with an approximate 1” x 4” opening. This open area may be a bit too big for walking; however, our Architectural Design Consultant Team would be happy to further assist you with your inquiries. Please contact us at 1 (866) 754-5144, 5282 or sales@mcnichols.com. We are Inspired to Serve!
