Quilted stainless steel sheet metal, also known as diamond pattern or diamond quilted stainless steel, is more than just a design statement—it’s a rugged, high-performance material built to thrive in demanding environments.
In the transportation industry—where durability, safety, and appearance matter—quilted stainless has proven itself time and again.
Mirror Metals offers high-quality quilted sheet metal in a variety of finishes and patterns that stand up to the elements, while maintaining a polished look.
Built for the Road: Diamond Quilted Stainless Steel is the Premier Choice
Our quilted stainless steel is designed for the realities of the road—harsh weather, road debris, and frequent cleaning.
The 304 stainless steel construction provides excellent corrosion resistance, while the quilted pattern helps diffuse reflected light to reduce glare for oncoming traffic, enhancing safety.
Whether it’s a long-haul trailer or a utility vehicle, quilted stainless steel is engineered to perform and look great doing it.

Primary Use Case for Quilted Stainless Steel: The Transportation Industry
Quilted stainless steel is a go-to material for the backs of trailers and truck panels. Here’s why:
- Glare Reduction: The raised diamond pattern breaks up reflections, helping to diffuse light and reduce glare for following vehicles—crucial for road safety, especially at night.
- Durability: 304 stainless steel resists corrosion from road salt, moisture, and debris.
- Easy Maintenance: The smooth yet patterned surface is easy to wipe down, even after long hauls.
- Visual Appeal: The mirror finish gives fleet vehicles a polished, professional look that lasts.
Additional Quilted Stainless Steel Applications
While the transportation sector is a natural fit, quilted stainless steel also enhances environments where durability meets design:
- Commercial Kitchens & Food Trucks: Ideal for high-traffic, hygienic surfaces that require frequent cleaning.
- Residential Kitchen Backsplashes: Adds an industrial-modern edge while reflecting light to brighten interior spaces.
- Interior/Exterior Design Panels: Architects utilize the quilted texture for applications like retro diners, exterior entrances, and walkways.
