Blue Mountains

What I (and other Aussies) would call "chequer (US "checker") plate" is often used in commercial or residential applications - especially if the residence is going for a latter day industrial theme. In stainless steel this stuff looks good.

The material used for safety treads in metal stairs and cat walks is known as "expanded plate".

Hope this helps.

(By the way, do you take your nick from the elevated hills west of Sydney or the location in Jamaica?)
