FAQ

1. What’s the difference between aluminium sheet, plate, and chequer plate?
   Aluminium sheet is typically used for lighter applications like signage or decorative panels, while plate is thicker and better suited for structural and engineering uses. Chequer plate provides a slip-resistant surface, making it perfect for applications like flooring, ramp surfaces, and vehicle steps.

2. Can I order aluminium sheet and plate in custom sizes?
   Yes, we offer custom cutting for all aluminium sheets, plates, and chequer plates. Our cutting service allows you to specify the size you need for your project.

3. What is the typical lead time for aluminium sheet or plate orders?
   98% of orders that are received by 1 pm are cut and dispatched the same day, and the majority of orders are delivered in the next working day. (SUBJECT TO COURIER PERFORMANCE)

4. How do I choose the right thickness for my project?
   Consider the strength and application of the material. Thicker plates are best for heavy-duty structural applications, while thinner sheets are ideal for lighter fabrication. If you’re unsure, we can guide you in selecting the appropriate thickness based on your project needs.

5. Are there additional costs for custom cutting or folding?
   Our cutting service is free for the first cut per line item, but additional cuts may incur a charge. Folding services are priced based on the complexity and specifications of your project. Contact us for a tailored quote.
