Types of Checkered Plate Diamond Pattern
🔹 Solid Aluminum Checkered Plate
This type is made from a single layer of aluminum.
- Strong and durable
- Lightweight compared to steel
- Commonly used in warehouses, vehicle flooring, and ramps
🔹 Composite Diamond Plate
Composite plates combine aluminum layers with a polyethylene or honeycomb core.
- High strength-to-weight ratio
- Provides extra insulation
- Ideal for decorative wall panels, ceilings, and partitions
🔹 Perforated Checkered Plate
Perforated plates have holes along with the raised diamond surface.
- Combines anti-slip properties and ventilation
- Adds a decorative look
- Used in facades, staircases, and interior design projects
🔹 Coated Checkered Plate
This plate is covered with protective coatings such as PE, PVDF, or powder paint.
- Excellent weather resistance and UV protection
- Long-lasting surface finish
- Perfect for outdoor flooring, ship decks, and industrial areas
Factory Process
Factories that produce checkered plate diamond patterns follow these steps:
- Hot rolling and cold rolling
- Surface embossing to create the diamond design
- Optional polishing, anodizing, or painting
- Cutting into custom sizes for customers
- Secure packaging for export
Packaging
To ensure safe delivery, checkered plates are packed carefully:
- Wooden pallets with plastic wrapping
- Waterproof protective film
- Steel straps for stability
- Custom packaging for export
