Metal plates are key for quality construction, as they offer strength, durability, and versatility for commercial, industrial, and residential projects. Using steel and other metal plates helps to enhance your project’s safety and structural integrity, allowing you to rest assured that you’re building a sound structure.
 
Metal plates are used for a variety of purposes in construction. During the structural phase of construction, steel base plates are used for distributing loads at the foundational level. In contrast, gusset plates connect beans and columns, working to reinforce stability in steel structures.
 
Splice plates are commonly used to join steel sections, creating a seamless, worry-free load transfer. In roofing and wall systems, metal plates are used as roofing panels, offering durability and weather resistance. Flooring and staircases also benefit from metal plates, such as checker plates (which provide slip-resistant surfaces for stairs, ramps, and industrial walkways) and steel floor plates (which strengthen mezzanine levels, platforms, and warehouses). Bridge and road construction projects utilize metal plates for bridge-bearing support, expansion joint covers, and temporary road plates that work to cover work areas for roads that are still in use.
 
No matter what type of project you’re taking on, our team at Central Metal Source is here to help. We can work with you to help you determine the materials you’ll need for your project and connect you with a seller who can provide what you’re looking for at a price that makes sense.
