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.
