I wasn’t worried too much about the fire proof,I just thought it would look nice and be easily cleanable.

DEPENDING ON THE AMOUNT OF AREA YOU HAVE TO COVER, THIS ENDEAVOR COULD BE EXPENSIVE AS FUCK.
ALSO, AFTER WORKING IN A RESTAURANT FOR 4 YEARS, I THINK DIAMOND PLATE WOULD BE A BITCH TO GET FRYER GREASE OFF OF UNLESS IT WAS CLEANED THOROUGHLY EVERY NIGHT…
BUT ANYWAY, YOU CAN ORDER IT THROUGH RYERSON, I MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET YOU A PRETTY SWEET PRICE ON IT. HOWEVER, I WOULD GO WITH RAISED TREAD ALUMINUM (DIAMOND PLATE PATTERN) THE MINIMUM THICKNESS IS .100 AND THE MINIMUM SHEET SIZE IS 48 X 96, BUT I CAN GET UP TO 60 X 192
A 4X8 SHEET WEIGHS 50.24 LBS
IF YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO GO WITH STAINLESS DIAMOND PLATE (WHICH I DON’T RECOMMEND) I CAN GET 36 INCH WIDE PLATES, BUT 1/8 THICK…
KEEP IN MIND THAT A ENOUGH TO COVER THE SAME 4X8 AREA AS THE ALUMINUM ABOVE WOULD WEIGH 196.8LBS…
ALUMINUM WILL PROBABLY BE CHEAPER AS WELL.
I CAN PROBABLY BEAT MCMASTER’S PRICES BY 20-30%, BUT FOR EXAMPLE, CHECK OUT PART NUMBER 6245T22 ON WWW.MCMASTER.COM
YEAH, IT’S $487.09 A SHEET. (.125" X 48" X 96")
A .12 X 3 X 8 SHEET OF NON DIAMOND PLATE 304 IS $613.62
OBVIOUSLY MCMASTER STUFF IS OVERPRICED, BUT IT’S A GOOD COMPARISON.
THIS IS ALL ASSUMING THAT DIAMOND PLATE IS THE LOOK YOU’RE GOING FOR.
