Chequer plate is different to tread plate T plate has 5 bars on it C plate is in diamond shape

Service metals in Leeds do their own version, very nice it is too, but not cheap, last time i bought a sheet it was about £80 +vat
for 1.6mm
Give em a ring first though as its sometimes out of stock.

Well there you go. I didnt know there were three different derivatives of that stuff! Never even heard of barley grain panel before!

You can get at least 7 different patterns for tread-plate. Some people call barley grain "rice grain".
