Description

Characteristics:

1. Material: Stainless Steel is used for Chequer plates due to its corrosion resistance, strength, and aesthetic appeal. It’s commonly made from grades like 304 or 316, which offer high resistance to rust, staining, and corrosion. However, 201 Chequer Stainless Steel plates are now commonly used because of budgeted price.
2. Surface Pattern: The raised pattern is typically diamond-shaped or sometimes square. The raised areas increase the surface’s friction, making it slip-resistant, which is especially important in high-traffic or hazardous areas.
3. Thickness & Size: Stainless Steel Chequer plates come in various thicknesses, from light-duty (for decorative or mild use) to heavy-duty (for industrial or construction applications). Standard plate sizes are available, but custom sizes can also be ordered based on specific needs.
4. Aesthetic Appeal: The polished or brushed finish of Stainless Steel gives the Chequer plates a sleek, modern look, which is often used in both functional and decorative applications.

Applications:

1. Industrial Flooring: Used in factories, warehouses, and other industrial spaces to prevent slipping in areas with high foot or machine traffic.
2. Construction: Often used in ramps, stairways, and walkways where safety is a concern.
3. Vehicle Steps & Platforms: Common in vehicles like trucks, trailers, and vans to ensure non-slip surfaces for loading/unloading or climbing.
4. Marine Industry: Due to its corrosion resistance, it’s often used in marine applications such as boat decks, gangways, and docks.
5. Architectural & Design Features: Used for decorative elements, cladding, or wall coverings in both residential and commercial spaces, combining functionality with aesthetic appeal.
