What our customers say about us
What is brass sheeting?
The bold one
With its unmistakable golden hue, everyone knows what brass looks like, but it’s its properties that make this metal such a perennially popular choice. An alloy of copper and zinc, brass sheet is used for everything from screws to radiators. Brass is great for hot forging and engraving; it’s also highly resistant to corrosion, brilliant at conducting heat and boasts a high tensile strength.
Our brass sheet, CZ108, is also known as basis brass. It’s extremely flexible and just the job when severe bending is needed. Containing 37% zinc, its high purity makes it workable at both hot and cold temperatures, which is why it’s one of the most sought after varieties of brass sheet. Suppliers of all kinds of sheet metal, we can provide your CZ108 in exactly the size you need, with no minimum order. If it’s polished brass sheet you’re looking for, just let us know – we can arrange for your CZ108 to be buffed before it comes to you.
Good for: Chains, hinges, locks, bolts, kick-plates, handles, radiators, signage, tubes, pipes, musical instruments, lamps, light switches, decorative applications and lots more.
How it’s made: The desired quantities of zinc and copper are melted and mixed together in a scorching furnace, before being poured into moulds where they cool into solid shapes known as cakes. Once they’ve cooled down, the cakes are fed through rollers, which flatten them into thin sheets. Next, the sheets are ‘scalped’, a process which strips off the thin, outer layers of the metal which may have been subject to oxidisation. The sheets are often then re-heated and annealed, or cold-rolled, a number of times, until the required strength and thickness is reached.
Benefits:
- Conducts heat
- Workable both hot and cold
- High tensile strength
- Resistant to corrosion
Random fact: In Germany in 2008, 15,761 musicians gathered at the WM Stadium, in Leipzig, to form the world’s largest brass band. The colossal group were so huge that they had to follow a conductor on a huge screen, creating a two second delay between the conductor’s instructions and the music.

Benefits of Brass Kick Plates
Brass kick plates provide a durable and stylish solution for both commercial and residential environments. Here are some key benefits:- • Long-Lasting Protection – Helps prevent scuffs, dents, discolouration, and damage from daily use, including wheelchairs, trolleys, and heavy foot traffic.
- • Enhances Door Longevity – Extends the lifespan of doors by reducing wear and tear, particularly in high-traffic environments.
- • Elegant Aesthetic Appeal – The warm, golden hue of brass adds a luxurious finish, complementing traditional and modern interiors alike.
- • Easy to Maintain – Brass kickplates are simple to clean and maintain, ensuring they continue to look great for years.
- • Weather Resistant – Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, making them ideal for entrance doors exposed to the elements.
- • Hands-Free Operation – Allows doors to be pushed open using a foot, reducing hand contact and improving hygiene in healthcare facilities and commercial spaces.
Popular Uses for Brass Kick Plates
Brass kick plates are used across various industries and settings to protect doors and enhance aesthetics. Common applications include:- • Commercial Buildings – Ideal for hospitals, care homes, public buildings, warehouses, and retail stores, where doors are subject to heavy footfall and frequent impact.
- • High-Traffic Areas – Used in schools, restaurants, hotels, and shops to maintain door quality and reduce maintenance costs.
- • Residential Homes – Perfect for family homes with kids, providing hands-free door operation and preventing marks from shoes or pushchairs.
- • Healthcare Facilities – Essential in hospitals, clinics, and care homes, where hygiene and door protection are a priority.
- • Aesthetic Enhancements – Often installed purely for decorative purposes, brass kickplates can be paired with brass finger plates for a consistent, sophisticated look.
Brass Kick Plates Care and Maintenance
To keep your brass kick plates looking their best, regular cleaning with a soft cloth and warm soapy water is recommended to remove dirt and grime. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the surface. After cleaning, dry the brass thoroughly to prevent water stains. If tarnishing occurs, a specialist brass polish, such as Brasso, can be used to restore its shine. Over time, natural brass will develop a patina, giving it an aged appearance unless coated with a protective finish to maintain its original lustre.Order Brass Kick Plates from Buy Metal Online

Steel Checker Plate FAQs
What is the difference between a steel chequered plate and a steel plate?
A steel chequered plate features a raised pattern of diamonds or linear strips designed for grip, while a standard steel plate is flat without a pattern or texture. The checker pattern improves safety and slip resistance.What is the purpose of a steel checker plate?
The primary purpose of a steel chequer plate is to add slip resistance. The raised pattern offers tread and increases traction, making it ideal for areas prone to slips, spills or moisture, helping prevent accidents. It’s commonly used for surfaces where grip is crucial, like flooring, ramps, stair treads, and vehicle decks.What thickness does a steel checker plate come in?
At Buy Metal Online, we offer steel chequer plates in 3mm and 4.5mm thicknesses. Sheets come in a variety of sizes and can be custom-cut to your requirements.Does a steel chequer plate rust?
Yes, untreated mild steel checker plates can rust over time when exposed to moisture. For outdoor use or in damp environments, consider painting, galvanising or applying a protective coating or sealant to prolong its lifespan.Is a steel checker plate stronger than a flat sheet?
The raised pattern adds rigidity and increases load-bearing capacity, making it more hard-wearing and durable under foot or load than a flat sheet of the same thickness. However, both share similar material strengths.Can you paint a steel checker plate?
Absolutely. Your steel chequer plate can be primed and painted with standard metal paints. Applying anti-slip paint on top can also enhance grip and prolong the lifespan of the plate.Steel Checker Plate

What our customers say about us
Practical uses:
Galvanised steel is a versatile material with a wide range of applications, showcasing its durability and adaptability in numerous industries. From automotive components to roofing, inner and outer wall sheeting, sheds, and construction parts, galvanised steel proves its qualities. It also finds utility in making sturdy buckets, planters, wheelbarrows, and drainpipes, while its use extends to tubes, sections, and machine-building applications. The material's resilience makes it a preferred choice for domestic appliances, electrical goods, and agricultural machinery as well, demonstrating its ability to withstand the demands of both indoor and outdoor environments. It can also be painted to give it colour, but preparation is key and a specialist primer and metal paint should be used when doing so.How it's made
The production process involves passing sheet steel through a bath of red-hot, molten zinc. This results in the formation of zinc oxide when oxygen reacts with pure zinc. The zinc oxide then reacts with carbon dioxide to produce zinc carbonate. This newly formed coating serves as the protective layer, shielding the steel from the weather. In the past, galvanised steel could be recognised by its distinctive star or spangle pattern, a result of the treatment process on the metal's surface. As contemporary tastes lean towards smoother surfaces over the years, the spangles have become invisible to the naked eye on our galvanised steel sheets. Random fact: The process of galvanisation is named after Luigi Galvani, the Italian chemist who discovered electromagnetism in 1781 during an experiment on frogs’ legs.Our service
