Non-slip steel plate is a product that is used in a variety of industries within countless applications.  From catwalks, cross walkers, stair treads, entryways and truck beds to vault covers, drain covers, scales, bridge plates and road plates; floor plate can be incorporated for added strength and safety.  With the weather turning colder and wetter throughout most of the country, making sure pedestrians and workers are just as safe outside while walking on plate as they are inside is very important.

When comparing non-slip metal plate and diamond plate there are a few factors to consider: slip resistant surface area is one of them.  Non-slip metal plate starts off as a smooth surface to which a slip resistant coating, like SlipNOT®, is applied.  This ensures the most direct foot to surface area which means the most non-slip coverage and traction, even in the harshest of conditions.  Diamond plate provides a somewhat slip resistant surface, but does not meet the same non-slip standards due to the raised diamond pattern.  The raised pattern does not provide as much non-slip surface area as slip resistant metal plate because feet only come into contact with the raised part of the diamonds as opposed to a flat non-slip surface.
