1/16" aluminum diamond tread plate

A 1/16-inch aluminum diamond plate, also known as aluminum tread plate or checker plate, is a lightweight sheet of aluminum characterized by its raised diamond pattern on the surface. This type of aluminum plate is valued for its aesthetic appeal, slip resistance, and versatility in various applications.

1/16" Aluminum Diamond Sheet is a lightweight, versatile material that combines durability, aesthetics, and slip resistance for a variety of applications. Its low profile is ideal for decorative projects, light-duty flooring, and commercial.

1 16 aluminum diamond plate material

The most common alloy for 1/16" diamond plate is 3003-H14 or 3003-H22. This aluminum-manganese alloy offers a good balance of corrosion resistance, formability, and moderate strength, making it suitable for general-purpose applications. Other alloys, such as 5052-H32 (offering higher corrosion resistance for marine environments) or 6061-T6 (offering higher strength for structural applications), may also be available, but they are less common at this thickness.

3003 1/16" aluminum diamond plate

3003 is a manganese-containing alloy with relatively low strength, commonly used for decorative purposes and applications requiring moderate strength, such as trailers and walkways.

4017 1/16" aluminum diamond plate

4017 has higher strength than 3003, with improved strength and formability, making it suitable for moderate load-bearing applications.

6061 1/16" aluminum diamond plate

6061 is a high-strength alloy, best suited for high-strength requirements and structural applications.

1/16" Aluminum Diamond Tread Plate Surface Finish

Standard Finish: Mill finish, providing a dull, matte surface from rolling. This is cost-effective and suitable for most industrial applications.

Optional Finishes:

  • Polished: Bright, reflective surface for decorative use.
  • Anodized: Improves corrosion resistance and allows color customization (e.g., black, silver).
  • Powder-Coated: Durable, scratch-resistant finish available in various colors.
  • Embossed: Raised diamond pattern (0.6–1.2 mm) enhances slip resistance.

1/16" Aluminum Diamond Tread Plate Dimensions

Standard Sheet Sizes:

  • 4 ft × 10 ft (common for 1/16" thickness)
  • 4 ft × 8 ft (also widely available)

Custom Sizes: Many suppliers offer cut-to-length options, with widths up to 1220 mm (48") and lengths up to 6000 mm (20’).

Weight per Square Foot: Approximately 1.04 lbs for 1/16" 3003-H14 diamond plate. For reference, 1/8" plate weighs ~1.90 lbs/sq ft.

Haomei 1/16" Aluminum Tread Plate Pattern Design

Diamond Pattern: Raised diamond-shaped lugs (typically 0.06"–0.12" high) provide superior traction. The pattern density (number of diamonds per square foot) varies by manufacturer but is standardized to meet anti-slip performance requirements.

Alternatives: Some suppliers offer 5-bar tread patterns, but the diamond pattern is the most common for 1/16" thickness.

1/16" Aluminum Diamond Tread Plate Standards and Compliance

  • ASTM B209: International standard for aluminum sheet and plate.
  • EN 1386: European standard for aluminum checkered plates.
  • GB/T 3880.1: Chinese standard for general industrial use.
  • Non-Slip Testing: Meets OSHA and ADA requirements for slip resistance (Coefficient of Friction ≥ 0.6).

1/16" Aluminum Diamond Tread Plate Additional Properties

  • Corrosion Resistance: 3003 alloy resists rust and chemicals, suitable for outdoor and harsh environments.
  • Workability: Can be easily cut, drilled, welded, or bent for custom fabrication.
  • Lightweight: Approximately one-third the weight of steel, improving fuel efficiency in transportation applications.

1 16 aluminum diamond plate applications

  • Decorative Uses: Due to its light weight and aesthetic appearance, 1/16 inch aluminum diamond plate is often used in decorative applications such as wall coverings, custom furniture and art installations.
  • Light Flooring: Suitable for light flooring applications such as trailers or RVs, which require both aesthetics and slip resistance.
  • Commercial Display: Commonly used in display cases, counters and fixtures in retail environments due to its aesthetic appearance and ease of fabrication.
  • DIY Projects: DIY enthusiasts enjoy a variety of projects, including custom tool boxes, protective covers and creative design elements.
