Aluminum Diamond Plate Sheet Thickness Guide: .025", .045", .063" and .125"
Online Diamond Plate stocks aluminum diamond plate sheets in several popular thicknesses, including .025", .045", .063", and .125" thick aluminum diamond plate. These thicknesses are sometimes described by gauge, although aluminum gauge can vary slightly depending on the chart being used. As a general guide, our .045" aluminum diamond plate is commonly referred to as approximately 18 gauge, our .063" aluminum diamond plate is commonly referred to as approximately 14 gauge, and our .125" aluminum diamond plate is commonly referred to as 1/8" thick diamond plate.
Choosing the right diamond plate sheet depends on how the material will be used. Thinner diamond plate is easier to cut, handle, and install. Thicker diamond plate is more rigid, more impact resistant, heavier, and more expensive.
Our most popular aluminum diamond plate sheet is our .025" thick embossed aluminum diamond plate. This is a thin, stamped aluminum sheet with the classic raised diamond pattern. Because it is lightweight and flexible, our .025" embossed diamond plate can be rolled and shipped in our custom Online Diamond Plate boxes. This makes it a practical and cost-effective choice for many light-duty projects, including garage wall panels, shop walls, trailer interiors, wainscoting, backsplashes, decorative panels, and other indoor wall panel applications.
Our .025" embossed aluminum diamond plate sheets are available in 2' x 8', 4' x 8', and 4' x 10' sizes. Finish options include Traditional Polished, Gloss Black, Gunmetal Gray, and Race Red.
For customers who need something stronger than .025" embossed aluminum, we also stock thicker aluminum diamond plate sheets in .045", .063", and .125" thicknesses. These sheets are flat on the back, more rigid, and ship flat instead of rolled. Our .045", .063", and .125" aluminum diamond plate sheets are available in our Traditional Polished finish.
As a simple thickness guide:
.025" embossed aluminum diamond plate is best for light-duty wall panels and decorative projects where the material does not need to take heavy abuse. It is lightweight, easy to install, and the most affordable option for covering larger wall areas.
.045" aluminum diamond plate, commonly compared to approximately 18 gauge aluminum, is a good choice when you want a more durable sheet than .025" embossed material. Customers often use .045" diamond plate for garages, workshops, commercial walls, trailer interiors, walk-in coolers, and areas where carts, equipment, or regular contact may hit the wall.
.063" aluminum diamond plate, commonly compared to approximately 14 gauge aluminum, is a heavier-duty option for higher-impact wall protection. It is more rigid than .045" and is often chosen for commercial, industrial, gym, shop, and utility applications where extra durability is needed.
.125" aluminum diamond plate, also called 1/8" thick diamond plate, is a much heavier and more rigid sheet. This thickness is typically used for more demanding applications where strength, stiffness, or structural performance matters. It is more expensive, harder to cut, and more challenging to work with than thinner diamond plate sheets.
If you are using aluminum diamond plate for wall panels, most customers choose .025" embossed diamond plate for light-duty decorative walls, .045" diamond plate for medium-duty wall protection, and .063" diamond plate for heavier-duty wall protection. Our diamond plate trim pieces are designed to work with sheets up to .063" thick, including common edge trim, seam trim, corner trim, and wall panel installation trims.
All of our aluminum diamond plate sheets include a protective peel-away plastic film. This protective covering helps protect the polished surface during handling and installation. After the diamond plate sheet is installed, simply peel away the plastic film to reveal a clean, bright, finished diamond plate surface.
