The present invention provides an improvement to the plates for the side containing in apparatuses for the continuous casting of thin flat products, said plates comprising: at least one insert (8) of a ceramic material; a plurality of joints (11) for the thermal expansion, the joints being constituted of a ceramic fibers material; a first casting (9) of a silica-alumina material containing ceramic fibers; a second casting (10) of a silica-alumina material having a high content of ZrO2; and a third casting (12) of a SiC-based thixotropic material; the arrangement being such that said at least a ceramic insert is arranged on said third casting (12) of a thixotropic material so that it assumes a substantially triangular shape, said first silica-alumina casting (9) based on a ceramic fibers material is arranged on said third casting (12) at the exterior area with respect to said at least a ceramic insert, said second casting (10) of silica-alumina material having a high contents of ZrO2 is arranged on said third casting (12) of a thixotropic material substantially at the central portion of the plate defined by said at least a ceramic insert (8), and said plurality of joints (11) in ceramic fibers for the thermal expansion is arranged at the contacting surfaces between said at least a ceramic insert (8) and at least one of said first (9), second (10) and third casting (12).
