Mild steel durbar plate is stronger and heavier, better suited to heavy-duty structural flooring and high-traffic industrial use. Choose aluminium for weight saving and corrosion resistance, or steel durbar where load-bearing strength is the priority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCutting and Fabrication\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAluminium chequer plate can be cut, drilled, shaped and fabricated using standard metalworking tools.
