Due to their excellent properties, aluminum checker plates, also known as tear plates, are a popular choice for applications where slip resistance and durability are critical. These sheets combine lightness and corrosion resistance (depending on material) made of aluminum with a textured surface that provides additional security.

Unique selling points

Slip resistance: The distinctive textured surface of the tearplates provides excellent slip resistance, making them ideal for walkways, stairs and ramps. They often meet high anti-slip standards, such as the R11 classification according to DIN 51130.
Lightweight and robust: Aluminum tear sheets are lightweight yet sturdy enough to withstand heavy loads. This makes transportation and installation easier while reducing structural stress.
Corrosion resistance: Aluminum forms a natural aluminum oxide layer that protects against corrosion. This makes the sheets ideal for use in damp or corrosive environments, such as marine or outdoor environments.
Versatility: These sheets are available in various alloys and dimensions to suit the specific requirements of different applications. They can also be polished or anodized to further improve corrosion resistance and aesthetics.

Technical specifications and advantages

Material: Aluminium EN AW-5754 (AlMg3), H111/H114.
Dimensions: Vary depending on application, common sizes are 1.5/2.0 x 1000 x 2000 mm up to 8.0/9.5 x 1500 x 3000 mm
Weight: Depending on the thickness and size of the sheet, e.g. 9.75 kg for 1.5/2.0 x 1000 x 2000 mm
Surface treatment: Anodized, polished or untreated as required.

Areas of application

Industrial floors: Ideal for use in factories and workshops where a non-slip surface is required.
Transportation: Used in vehicle cargo holds to increase safety and prevent damage to cargo.
Construction: Use on construction sites as temporary sidewalks or permanent non-slip surfaces.
Decorative applications: Thanks to their attractive appearance, they are also popular in architectural projects and interior design.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) about aluminum checker plates

1. What advantages do aluminum checker plates offer compared to steel plates?

Aluminum checker plates are lighter than steel plates, making it easier to transport and install. They also offer a good to very good Corrosion resistance due to aluminum's natural oxide layer, making them ideal for use in wet or corrosive environments.

2. What dimensions are aluminum checker plates available in?

Aluminum checker plates are available in different dimensions to meet different requirements. Common sizes include 1.5/2.0 x 1000 x 2000 mm up to 8.0/9.5 x 1500 x 3000 mm

3. What surface treatments are available for aluminum checker plates?

Aluminum checker plates can be supplied anodized, polished or untreated. Anodized sheets provide additional protection against corrosion and an attractive, colored surface.

4. How resistant are aluminum checker plates to corrosion?

Aluminum checker plates are extremely corrosion-resistant because aluminum naturally forms a protective oxide layer. This layer hinders the attack from moisture and chemical substances that could lead to corrosion.

5. Which applications are particularly suitable for aluminum checker plates?

Aluminum checker plates are versatile and suitable for numerous applications including industrial floors, vehicle cargo areas, construction sites, decorative applications and much more. Their non-slip surface provides additional safety in these areas.
