Chequered Plates
MS chequered plates (also called tear-drop plates or floor plates) are hot-rolled mild steel plates with a raised diamond or tear-drop pattern on one face that provides anti-slip grip. Used for flooring, stair treads, platforms and vehicle bodies. SIIPL stocks 3 mm to 12 mm thicknesses.

FAQ
Is chequered plate thickness measured with or without the pattern?
The nominal thickness is measured at the plate body (excluding the raised pattern). The pattern adds approximately 1 to 2 mm depending on plate thickness.
What is the difference between tear-drop and diamond chequered plate?
Tear-drop has elongated tear-shaped projections in a 4-direction pattern offering grip from any angle. Diamond pattern has smaller diamond bumps. Tear-drop is more common in Indian construction.
How do I get a price for Chequered Plates?
Send the exact size, grade, approved make, quantity and delivery location. Request a dated quotation with validity, taxes, freight and processing charges clearly stated; chart weights are not a price or stock commitment.
