Steel Plates for Floors, Walls, and Stairs: Which One is Best?

Steel plate is a very versatile construction material. In almost every building project, we can find the use of steel plate in various forms. However, did you know that the choice of steel plate must be tailored to the application's needs? For example, for floors, walls, and stairs, the type and thickness of steel plate used can vary.

Let's discuss them one by one!

1. Steel Plate for Floors
Steel plate is often used for flooring, especially in industrial areas, bridges, and even truck beds. The most common type is checkered plate (diamond plate) because its surface has a raised pattern (usually checkered or striped).
✅ Advantages: Anti-slip, safer to walk on, and able to withstand heavy loads.
✅ Applications: Factory floors, mezzanine floors, vehicle floors, and even bridge floors.

2. Steel Plate for Walls
For wall applications, plain steel plate is usually used as a coating or protection. This steel plate provides additional strength and a sturdy impression to the building.
✅ Advantages: Its flat surface makes it easy to paint or weld with other materials.
✅ Applications: Warehouse walls, machine guards, and industrial area partitions.

3. Steel Plate for Stairs
Stairs require strong and safe materials. Like flooring, checkered plate is often chosen for steps due to its anti-slip properties. Additionally, strip plate can be used as a frame or reinforcement for steel stairs.
✅ Advantages: Increases safety by preventing slippage, and is more durable than wood.
✅ Applications: Factory stairs, emergency building stairs, and large vehicle access stairs.

Tips for Choosing the Right Steel Plate

• Adjust the plate thickness to the load it will support.
• Choose checkered plate for areas that require extra safety from slipperiness.
• Use plain plate for applications that require a neat finish.
• Be sure to purchase SNI-compliant steel plate to ensure quality and durability.
