Modding Wanted: patterned steel sheet

I'm looking for some stainless steel sheeting that has those short diagonal lines, like they use on outdoor fire escapes? Err... *starts ut2003* like this:



But without the rust
Pictures tell so much more than 1000 words

does anybody know either what it's called, or where I could get it in the UK please? rs don't appear to have it

thanks

it's called Diamond Plate..
that should make googling and phone calles easyer.

 

try the materials section at www.mcmaster.com look for metals>sheets>decorative and then the material and specs you want. a 12"x12" sheet of thin aluminum is like US$12.

 

Thanks for the help so quickly !



I found it on that mcmaster-carr site under aluminium (thanks ehrnam45), it appears to be called "tread" not "diamond" by them though. I've found it called diamond on google -- so thanks for that woodshop

pop into B&Q they have some there, althought the pattern is quite small.

 

You can also get a non-metal version which looks like metal but is really flexible and good from KustomPCs: Clicky

Hope this helps!

 

Great! Thanks Cabe; I'm going to B&Q today, so I'll try and find some then.

Blue Infinity: thanks -- thats exactly what I was going to do with it anyway!!! I'll get that depending on how much I like the stuff at B&Q.

u gonna cover u case pannels with it? that is such a cool idea!!

 

Thanks -- yer, the outside is metallic black gloss / polished silver vents / blue mesh, and I'm gonna use this stuff for the inner side of the panels and the PSU.
