Sheets and plates are made from different material grades of carbon steel that provide a high degree of strength and durability. Standard carbon steel sheets and plates are solid and flat with no surface texture. Textured carbon steel plates have a raised textured surface that helps improve traction, hides imperfections, and provides an aesthetically pleasing look. Expanded and perforated carbon steel sheets are fabricated with openings that allow light, air, and water to pass through them easily.
