Aluminum Tread Plate (Checker Plate)
Aluminum tread plate is also called checker plate, with its raised diamond,5 bar,3 bar and pointer etc. patterns. It is built for strength and slip resistance, so it is often seen on stair treads, truck and van flooring, factory walkways, and ship decks where safety underfoot is essential.
The best-selling black diamond tread plates on the market are originally silver-colored sheets that have been treated with anodizing, powder coating, or spray coating to achieve black or other colors, without affecting their anti-slip performance.
Common Patterns of Tread Aluminum Plate
Diamond Pattern: raised, regular diamond shapes with strong anti-slip properties.
Five-Bar Pattern: parallel raised bars that enhance friction and wear resistance.
Tear Drop Pattern: raised shapes resembling teardrops, providing smooth anti-slip performance.
Pointer Pattern: arrow or pointer-shaped raised patterns that increase grip.

Applications
Common applications include stair treads, factory and warehouse walkways, vehicle and truck floors, and ship decks. In addition to these, it is also frequently used as kick plates on doors and walls to protect surfaces from impact and wear. Its combination of embossed texture and robust aluminum construction ensures long-lasting performance in both industrial and commercial settings.
Manufacturing Process
Embossed Rolling: Aluminum sheets are pressed through patterned rollers to create raised textures.
Cold Rolling: Conducted at room temperature to maintain uniform sheet thickness and clear pattern definition.
Surface Finishing: Optional treatments such as anodizing, powder coating, or spray coating enhance corrosion resistance, durability, and appearance without affecting anti-slip properties.
Special sizes and custom options:
1/8 aluminum diamond plate, 1/4 tread plate, and other gauges available.
Standard sheets such as 4x8 aluminum diamond plate and 5x10 from stock.
Cut-to-size service for custom dimensions.
Additional processing: shearing, bending, and surface finishing for ready-to-use products.
Except the tread plate, there is one aluminum sheet we also often use in construction, corrugated aluminum sheet, it is produced by cold rolling or press forming flat aluminum sheets through specially designed dies or rollers to create continuous wave-like patterns on the surface. This corrugation process not only enhances the structural strength of the sheet but also improves its rigidity while keeping the overall weight low.
Thickness: 0.3 mm to 1.2 mm,
Width: 600 mm to 1250 mm,
Lengths: standard panels (2000–6000 mm) OR continuous coils for large projects.
Corrugated aluminum sheets are widely used in roofing, wall cladding, siding, ceilings, and partitions, especially in warehouses, factories, residential buildings, and outdoor shelters. Thanks to their lightweight nature, corrosion resistance, and efficient water drainage design, they are a popular choice for both industrial and architectural construction.
