The chequered plate is used in aesthetic, architectural, and shipbuilding applications because it resists corrosion and doesn't need to be painted, making it low maintenance. The chequered plate is a very adaptable material with a variety of uses.

Chequered plates are commonly used to construct stairs, platforms, walkways, and industrial flooring. One significant advantage of aluminum chequered plates is their ability to withstand harsh weather conditions. The raised pattern on the surface of the plates helps prevent the surface from becoming slippery.
