Description

Base Material

Properties:

Slip Resistance: The tread plate features a raised, regular pattern (typically diamond or checkered) on one side to provide slip resistance, making it ideal for floors and walkways.
Durability: The material is highly durable, providing good resistance to wear and impact.
Corrosion Resistance: Aluminium and stainless steel versions offer superior resistance to corrosion, while steel plates can be treated to resist corrosion (e.g., galvanisation or coating).

Manufacturing Process

Material Selection: Aluminium, stainless steel, or mild steel is chosen based on the required application.
Forming: The metal is passed through rollers to create the signature raised diamond or checkered pattern.
Cutting & Finishing: The plate is cut to size and sometimes polished for appearance, especially when using stainless steel or aluminium.
Surface Treatment (Optional): For steel tread plates, a protective coating may be applied to improve corrosion resistance, such as galvanisation.
