Patterned Flooring

POLKA PLATES

Made from corrosion- and heat-resistant NAS 304, POLKA PLATES are durable and the dots on the surface prevent slipping while making it easy to clean and drain water. Compared to conventional striped steel plates, POLKA PLATES eliminate the strong resistance that occurs when moving contrary to the stripes, so that casters are not always catching. The dots are round for easy cleaning, and dirt and water do not accumulate. The elasticity of the round dots prevents fatigue when standing for many hours even in high heels. The aesthetic appeal of the dot textured plates make them an excellent match particularly when a pleasant appearance is required.
