Available in two sheet sizes — 2000x1000mm and 2500x1250mm (8x4ft) — across thicknesses from 1.5mm to 6mm. Lightweight, corrosion-resistant and widely used for flooring, ramps, vehicle lining, kick plates and decorative applications, with a 3-5 working day lead time to mainland UK addresses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAvailable Sizes and Thicknesses\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2000x1000mm — available in 1.5mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4.5mm and 6mm.

Mild steel durbar plate is stronger and heavier, better suited to heavy-duty structural flooring, loading ramps and high-traffic industrial use. If load-bearing strength is the priority, steel durbar is usually the correct material; if weight saving and corrosion resistance matter more, choose aluminium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCutting and Fabrication\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAluminium chequer plate can be cut, drilled, shaped and fabricated using standard metalworking tools.
