Definitions
- Referring to a metal or wooden framework of parallel or crossed bars, used as a cover or a barrier. - Describing an unpleasant sound or sensation that is harsh, irritating, or annoying. - Talking about a surface or texture that is rough, abrasive, or uneven.
- Referring to a structure made of thin strips or bars of wood or metal, crossing each other at right angles, forming a pattern of squares or diamonds. - Describing a fence or a screen made of crisscrossed strips or bars, used for decoration or privacy. - Talking about a window or a door with a decorative pattern of crisscrossed strips or bars.
List of Similarities
- 1Both grating and lattice involve a structure made of thin strips or bars.
- 2Both can be used for functional or decorative purposes.
- 3Both can be made of various materials, such as wood, metal, or plastic.
- 4Both can be used in architecture, engineering, or design.
- 5Both have a repeating pattern or design.
What is the difference?
- 1Function: Grating is primarily used as a cover or a barrier, while lattice is mainly used for decoration or privacy.
- 2Shape: Grating is usually flat or curved, while lattice is often in a grid or diamond pattern.
- 3Texture: Grating is typically rough, abrasive, or uneven, while lattice is usually smooth and even.
- 4Sound: Grating can refer to an unpleasant sound or sensation, while lattice is not associated with any particular sound.
- 5Usage: Grating is more commonly used in industrial or mechanical contexts, while lattice is more common in architecture or design.
Remember this!
Grating and lattice are both structures made of thin strips or bars, but they differ in their function, shape, texture, sound, and usage. Grating is primarily used as a cover or a barrier, often with a rough or abrasive texture, while lattice is mainly used for decoration or privacy, often with a smooth and even texture. Grating is more commonly used in industrial or mechanical contexts, while lattice is more common in architecture or design.
