✕
This product can be cut with a jig saw, circular saw or radial saw. Use a blade designed to cut sheet metal (a fine tooth blade). For cutting stainless steel or for cutting larger quantities, consider using a carbide-tipped fine tooth blade.

• Help me choose the mounting method

✕
Plain Back is recommended for best and most durable installation (especially for commercial applications). Use a construction adhesive to attach to the wall. We offer Liquid Nails® Polyurethane Formulation which is best for metal to drywall bonding. Peel & Stick feature is great for DIY residential use due to its simplicity. Caution: even though a freshly painted wall feels dry to the touch, it may not be fully cured. Freshly painted walls can continue to evolve volatile oils (VOC) for weeks which will reduce the adhesion bond strength significantly and cause the product to lift off wall after some time. Consult your paint supplier to determine adequate cure time for the type of paint used and room environment present.

• What is diamond plate?

  ✕

  Our diamond plate is absolutely, authentic, real commercial grade aluminum diamond plate. The same brilliant metal found on big rigs, NASCAR, fire trucks and other astonishingly cool objects and cool places. Not to be confused with imitation stamped metal that many of our competitors use. Our real diamond plate will not rust, rot, corrode or degrade.

• How can I tell the difference between real diamond plate and the fake stuff?

  ✕

  The secret is on the backside of the metal. The diamonds on real diamond plate are forged from solid metal and therefore are perfectly solid when viewed from the back. Fake diamond plate is stamped from sheet metal producing diamonds that are hollow on the backside making the fake stuff weak, feeble and less desirable. Real diamond plate has a beautiful chrome like metallic luster. The fake stuff can fake the shine but can't fake the strength of real diamond plate. They say diamonds are a girl's best friend ... but who wants hollow diamonds?

• What is brushed aluminum?

  ✕

  Our brushed aluminum is aircraft grade aluminum with a brushed finish applied to the surface giving the metal a beautifully sophisticated and soft luster. This refined appearance is similar to that of many stainless steel appliances found in today's homes.

• Is diamond plate slippery?

  ✕

  Not at all. In fact it's quite the opposite. Diamond plate was originally created back in the 60s for tread purposes and therefore was originally called 'tread plate'. However, the tread plate looked so good, people started using it for all kinds of other things. Take a look at a big rig or an armed forces vehicle and you may notice diamond plate on its steps or walkways. This is to give the operators the best possible traction when the surfaces are wet or icy. The diamonds provide extra surface area for shoes to grab onto. You may be surprised when you walk across our diamond plate and find how much traction you feel, even with high heels.

• Can I use diamond plate outdoors?

  ✕

  Absolutely. Our diamond plate will not rust, rot, corrode or degrade.
