STAINLESS STEEL CHECKER PLATE
Stainless steel checker plate, also known as treadplate, is used as a non-slip surface in all manner of environments. The combination of hard-wearing steel and a pattern designed to offer grip underfoot make this metal a strong choice for safe flooring.STAINLESS STEEL TREAD PLATE
The checker pattern is hot-rolled into the sheet, creating texture and grip that cannot be offered by regular, smooth steel. This makes it ideal for flooring and low-level wall covering, but these aren't the only uses for this all-rounder. Stainless steel treadplate can also be used in a multitude of situations where a hard-wearing, low-maintenance and long-lasting surface is required. All stainless steel checker plate at Buy Metal Online is made from 304 grade steel. We stock a range of sizes and thicknesses and deliver direct to your door.COMMON USES
- Factory flooring or wall covering
- Food preparation areas
- Some medical areas
- Industrial, commercial properties
- Garages, ramps, lifts
- Walkways
- Interiors of trucks and commercial refrigerators
HOW IT’S MADE
Like many of our patterned steel products, stainless steel checker plate begins life as standard stainless steel sheet. It is manufactured in a foundry and rolled into sheet form using a hot rolling process. Unlike stainless steel sheet, one side of the hot roller has the checker pattern which is impressed onto the sheet. With the other side being smooth, this is how the sheet has a pattern on one side and is smooth on the other. That smooth side is essential for secure fixing using screws or adhesive. Stainless steel tread plate is a very flexible material that looks good and performs exceptionally well. We offer a free cutting service, meaning you can easily order precisely the amount of metal you need. Just order the next size up and provide exact dimensions on the order page. We will cut your checker plate up to five times for free.WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT US

Can you use 3mm mild steel checker plates outdoors?
Mild steel checker plates can be used outside with appropriate protective measures. Despite their strength and durability, they are susceptible to rust when exposed to moisture, salt, or harsh environments. Therefore, galvanising, powder coating, or painting is necessary to protect the plates, along with regular maintenance to ensure their longevity in outdoor environments.Order 3mm Steel Checker Plate from Buy Metal Online
