Raised pattern
An aluminium chequered sheet is a flat sheet with a raised pattern rolled into one face. The pattern breaks surface tension underfoot, so water, oil and dust do not turn the surface into a slip hazard. In Indian trade the same product is called tread plate, checker plate or durbar plate.
Because the base material is aluminium, the sheet does the job of a steel chequered plate at roughly a third of the weight, without needing galvanising or paint to survive outdoors. That combination is why it dominates industrial flooring, staircase treads, loading ramps and truck body decks.
Chequered sheet is rolled from the softer, more formable alloys mainly the 3000 and 8000 series because the pattern has to be pressed into the surface without cracking it.
| Brand | Alloy / Temper | Character |
|---|---|---|
| Hindalco | 3105-F | Soft temper, easy to bend, consistent pattern |
| Jindal | 8011-H14 | Bright surface, good for visible architectural use |
| Virgo | CG-H14, 51300-H14 | Commercial grade — cost-effective for volume flooring |
| Inalco | 51300-HF | Soft temper for deep forming and tight bends |
| Master’s India | 51300-H14 | Half-hard, holds shape well in flooring panels |
| Manaksia | 3105-H16 | Stiffer temper — best where the sheet spans unsupported |
| Kalinga | 3105-F | Soft temper, general-purpose flooring and cladding |
Three standard sizes cover most flooring and body work. All cutting sizes are available as per requirement.
| Size (mm) | Feet / Inch | Commonly Used For |
|---|---|---|
| 1220 × 2440 | 4′ × 8′ | General flooring, workshop platforms, panels |
| 1525 × 3050 | 5′ × 10′ | Large floor areas with fewer joints |
| 813 × 3660 | 32″ × 12′ | Long narrow runs — truck decks, walkway strips, staircase treads |
| Thickness (mm) | Gauge | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| 0.50 – 0.91 | 25 – 20 | Decorative panels, kick plates, cladding |
| 1.00 – 1.60 | 19 – 15 | Light foot traffic, vehicle interior decks |
| 2.00 – 2.50 | 14 – 12 | Workshop flooring, walkways, staircase treads |
| 3.00 – 4.00 | 10 – 8 | Heavy foot traffic, trolley routes, loading ramps |
| 5.00 – 6.00 | — | Vehicle loading, high-impact platforms |
Foot traffic alone is comfortable on 1.5 mm to 2 mm. Trolleys, pallet jacks and continuous traffic want 3 mm. Vehicle loading or impact needs 4 mm and above. If the sheet spans between supports rather than sitting on a solid floor, go one step thicker.
Formed treads, wrapped edges and kick plates bend best in the F temper. Flat panels that only need edge folds are fine in H14. Avoid H16 for anything with a tight radius the pattern can crack on the outside of the bend.
| Application | Suggested Thickness |
|---|---|
| Decorative cladding, kick plates | 0.50 – 0.91 mm |
| Light foot traffic, interior panels | 1.00 – 1.60 mm |
| Workshop flooring, staircase treads | 2.00 – 2.50 mm |
| Trolley routes, loading ramps | 3.00 – 4.00 mm |
| Vehicle loading, impact platforms | 5.00 – 6.00 mm |
