What is a Black Aluminium Chequer Plate?
A black aluminium chequer plate is a patterned aluminium sheet with a raised tread design, typically in a 5-bar formation. This pattern improves grip, making it suitable for areas where slip resistance is required.
This product is supplied in 2mm thickness, with the chequered pattern sitting above the base plate. The black coating is applied to the top surface only, creating a durable and visually consistent finish.
