Rigidized Metals Corp.

Used for seat backs, luggage racks, wall panels, hand rails, wainscotings, kick plates, turn stiles, partitions and bulkheads, and other high traffic areas, the deep textured surface softens glare and hides the appearance of dents, dings, scratches and other forms of vandalism.

Panel cores enhance physical and acoustic properties of the panels. Panels can be faced in stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, bronze and steel in thicknesses of .016"-.090". Mechanical finishes include mill, polished, embossed and Rigidized^® Metals deep textured. Powder coated and colored stainless steel are also available. Panel thickness can be from 1/4" to 2", with the length and width limited to the panel face material (stainless steel 60"x144"). We can supply a premium fire rated MDFB or an aluminum honeycomb core laminated with an FR adhesive.

Our unique process of creating "hollow-back" tread plate lugs allows us to start and finish with a cleaner product that is also 16%-18% lighter than conventional flat-back tread plate.

A clean tread plate requires less preparation for finishing and can help achieve a better, longer lasting finish keeping the components in sustainable service longer.

The weight reduction means you start with less material resources, and in transportation applications, this weight reduction saves energy in everyday use.
