Greetings
I will be teaching a class on the benefits of hydronic versus air and was hoping to get a picture of a nice hydronic boiler room, perhaps with the metal diamond plate on the wall. If there is a picture of a boiler room where you are proud, please post it so I can use it
Thanks in advance

I’m not a fan of diamond plate. I used it twice 15-20 years ago, never used it again. I think it detracts from the work. But, that’s just me.Steve Minnich0

I tried tread plate a few times also. I found it harder to mount on and get holed drilled exactly where you want them. Not so easy to wipe clean or re-polish either.Steve Minnich said:I’m not a fan of diamond plate. I used it twice 15-20 years ago, never used it again. I think it detracts from the work.

Customers love the look of it when it is shiny and new
I appreciate the workmanship and clever use of a space and product more that the backing material. Plenty of pics on FB and Instagram.

Wow You guys are the best Thank you all. I am teaching a class for the steamfitters and want to discuss how boilers are still relevent. Thank you @Ironman , @Solid_Fuel_Man , @Steamhead , @gennady for the pics
@Ironman I like the wood LOL
@hot_rod I never thought of that I bet it would be tough to drill in the exact spotRay Wohlfarth

I prefer the look of the European tread plate, smaller bars, tighter spacing, more of a herringbone look. I don't see it around the US often.RayWohlfarth said:Wow You guys are the best Thank you all.

Enameled .040 aluminum sheets. 4X10 in any color are around 60 bucks here. Build it all on the plywood first, slip the aluminum under it what it is cleaned and pressure tested.

It was house overlooking I70 just West of Denver. The first Charlie Angels movie was filmed there. Mark truly outdid himself on that one.STEVEusaPA said:I remember @Mark Eatherton posted a pic of a huge radiant job with diamond plates on the wall, maybe 5 years ago

Am I mistaken or is that a "T" drill type of manifold you installed?0 -
@Intplm. Good eye. The tees were pulled, but not by me. I bought the manifold from Alberta, I think?Steve Minnich

Years ago, I suggested the creation of a Heating Help calendar, with pictures of a mix of old and new boiler rooms, with the occasional grizzled steam fitter.
Maybe it’s time for that now, with enough white space for the company name, and for marking down any service notes,-
