What our customers say about us

What is aluminium chequered plate?

Safety first... Similar in appearance to steel chequer plate, diamond plate aluminium offers a non-slip surface where you need safety underfoot. More lightweight than steel tread plate, it can be easily secured to existing flooring, adding a layer of texture that’s got plenty of grip and reducing the risk of slipping. The distinctive 5-bar pattern on diamond plate makes it sought after not just for performance, but for style, too: our aluminium treadplate is often used in interior design and car modification, as well as in industry. It comes in three thicknesses and a wide choice of sizes. What’s more, our free cutting service means we can trim your diamond plate sheets down to precisely the amount you need, with no minimum order. If you’re looking for a sturdier, stand-alone diamond plate sheet, see our steel chequer plate. Good for: Van flooring, kick-plates, industrial-style decor, vehicle modification, stairways, walkways, lifts, factory floors, ramps, freezers, trench covers, walls and more. How it’s made: At the factory, aluminium is passed through two giant rollers, one which is smooth and one which is marked with a raised pattern, the well-known diamond or 5-bar, which gives this material its name. This process means that the metal sheets are embossed with diamonds or bars on one side and smooth and flat on the other, producing diamond plate aluminium that’s ready to be walked on. Benefits:

• Easy to fit
• Non-slip
• Durable
• Versatile

Random fact: In Japan in 2013, aluminium drinks cans were collected and carefully arranged to create a replica of Yoshida Castle, an impressive building which happened to be standing just beyond the recycled sculpture. The creation promoted the idea of recycling and achieved the world record for a structure made with the most aluminium cans.
