Note that grates can be used around pools, in balconies, in landscaping, in bathrooms, laundry rooms and kitchens, in walkways and driveways, etc. All these areas have unique factors that need to be considered when selecting grates; the factors, as indicated above, mostly touch on weight-bearing, shapes and styles and dimensions.

Of course, shapes, styles and dimensions depend on the area the grates will be installed and aesthetics. Weight is mostly considered in walkways and driveways because the grates might at one time or another be subjected to vehicular weight.
