How to choose your anti-slip plate?

Appreciated by professionals and individuals, the anti-slip sheet is ideal for reducing the risk of falls. Whether in a wet, dry, indoor, or outdoor environment, it resists and helps secure all types of slippery surfaces.

Available in aluminum, steel, and stainless steel, choosing the anti-slip metal sheet suited to your needs can be difficult. We shed some light to help you find the right sheet with confidence!

There are 3 types of anti-slip sheets

The anti-slip aluminum sheet

The anti-slip aluminum sheet is frequently used for safety projects such as walkways, stair treads, and garden slabs, proving its adaptability to various applications. This metal, known for its lightweight and corrosion resistance, is an optimal choice for diverse uses.

Although it can be used outdoors, the aluminum sheet may have its appearance deteriorate in wet or outdoor environments, so it is essential to consider environmental conditions to maintain its aesthetics.

The anti-slip stainless steel sheet

The anti-slip stainless steel sheet, notably more resistant than aluminum, is a preferred choice, especially for outdoor environments, requiring no specific intervention to maintain its durability. The stainless steel it is composed of benefits from superior hygienic quality, thus broadening its range of applications.

This stainless steel with a checkered pattern is particularly prized in agri-food industrial environments, the transport sector, and the chemical industry, thanks to its impeccable resistance to elements and chemicals. Anti-glare, it not only resists light but also helps neutralize glare.

The anti-slip steel sheet

The checkered steel sheet in our range stands out for its unmatched resistance! Capable of withstanding impacts, repeated passes of light vehicles, and the harshest conditions, the anti-slip steel sheet is a top choice for diverse applications.

Whether in dry, greasy, or wet environments, it faces all challenges boldly! With its relatively light weight of 48 kg/m2, it is highly appreciated and often chosen by professionals.

Comparison between the 3 anti-slip metal sheets

Criteria	Anti-slip Aluminum Sheet	Anti-slip Stainless Steel Sheet	Anti-slip Steel Sheet
Resistance	Light	High	Very High
Outdoor Use	Possible with caution	Optimal without specific treatment	Excellent with anti-rust treatment
Application	Walkways, stair treads, garden slabs	Agri-food industrial sites, transport, chemical industry	Manhole covers, door thresholds, other indoor and outdoor applications
Weight	Around 2.7 kg/m³ (Light)	Around 8 kg/m³ (Medium)	48 kg/m² (Heavier)

So, ready to declare war on slips? One thing is sure: depending on your project, it is important to choose the right anti-slip sheet.
