Textured HDPE sheets add surface grip and visual durability to standard polyethylene boards. Textures (including leather pattern and other embossing options) can help improve anti-slip performance, reduce glare, and hide minor scratches in daily use.
Common Texture Benefits
- Better traction for walkways, covers and access panels.
- Scratch hiding for truck liners and visible panels.
- Reduced glare for outdoor or bright workshop areas.
- Easy fabrication – cut, drill and CNC machine while keeping the textured face.
Application scenario: A logistics company retrofitted delivery trucks with interior protection panels to reduce damage from pallets and carts. Smooth plastic boards showed scratches quickly, making the fleet look worn. They switched to a textured HDPE sheet with a leather-style finish for sidewalls and door panels. The texture helped hide daily abrasion, and drivers reported better grip when stepping onto the truck threshold area. We supplied panels pre-cut to standard truck dimensions with drilled mounting holes, so installation took less than one hour per vehicle. After several months of use, the fleet maintained a cleaner appearance and the company reduced panel replacement frequency. For new vehicles, they standardized the same texture and color to keep a consistent interior look across the fleet.
How to Specify a Textured Sheet
- Texture type: leather pattern or other embossing; single-side or double-side.
- Thickness & size: based on rigidity and installation method.
- Environment: indoor/outdoor (UV-stabilized if needed).
- Quantity and destination for packing and freight planning.
