Aluminum Diamond Plate Sheet Products

Alloy aluminum 3003 and 6061 diamond and tread plate products enhance strength, durability, and corrosion resistance for applications requiring increased traction and aesthetic qualities. Aluminum diamond plate is manufactured with several unique tread types, including embossed, 5 bar, and tread brite.

6061 Aluminum Diamond Plate

Aluminum checker plate, commonly known as ''Diamond plate'' or “tread plate,” is strong, lightweight, and provides protection and traction in high-traffic areas. Diamond tread aluminum sheet 6061 provides strength, skid resistance, and durability. Aluminum diamond plate 6061 can be stamped or rolled, has limited formability, and is easy to weld and machine.
6061 diamond plate aluminum also offers increased strength and corrosion resistance and has many practical applications. 6061 aluminum checker plate is available in the following tread options:
  • Embossed Firetruck-Quality (FTQ) Tread Plate - Is the same as Tread Brite in all aspects, except for a slightly modified pattern that provides an even better grip.
  • 5-Bar Tread Plate - Is defined by its unique pattern, with small, individual blocks of five parallel bars oriented perpendicularly to their neighboring blocks.
  • Tread Brite Tread Plate - The most common type of aluminum tread plate is used for a wide variety of applications.
  • Mill Finish Tread Plate - Has a matte-finish diamond pattern and is used primarily in structural applications that do not require bending.
