✅ Type of sheet: smooth, checker plate, or perforated sheet?
✅ Correct material thickness (typically 1–5 mm)
✅ For perforated sheets: round (RV) or square perforation (QG)
✅ For checker plates (tread plates): Duet (W2) or Quintet (W5)
✅ For corrugated sheets: sheet thickness, panel width, and height
✅ For aluminum composite panels: color and material thickness
✅ Suitable alloy for load-bearing and environmental requirements
✅ Proper surface – mill finish, anodized, or coated – depending on appearance and corrosion protection. Popular colors include RAL 9016, RAL 7016, and RAL 9005.
✅ Exact dimensions to avoid the need for rework

What are the properties of aluminum sheets?
Aluminum is corrosion-resistant, lightweight, weldable, and highly suitable for anodizing – ideal for applications with high demands on durability and appearance.
Aluminum sheets are indispensable in industry, trade, and everyday use. Whether in mechanical engineering, architecture, or DIY projects – they impress with low weight, high strength, and corrosion resistance. At Metalxact, you can get aluminum sheets in exactly the dimensions you need – from standard panels to precise custom cuts.
What materials and finishes are available?
We supply both pure aluminum (e.g. Al99.5) and common AlMg alloys, as well as aluminum composite panels. Depending on the application, you can choose between particularly soft, highly formable grades or more stable, harder alloys of the material. You can also conveniently have the sheets powder-coated by us: this provides additional corrosion protection and opens up entirely new design possibilities.
Applications & advantages of aluminum sheets
Our aluminum sheets and composite panels are used in mechanical and automotive engineering, facade construction, plant engineering, furniture and interior design, as well as in the creative DIY sector. They offer weight advantages compared to steel, are weather-resistant, and enable a high-quality, modern appearance. This makes them the ideal material for everything from functional components to design objects.
What surface finishes are available for aluminum sheets at Metalxact?
At Metalxact, you can get aluminum sheets in various surface finishes:
- mill finish
- coil anodized (e.g. E6/EV1) for a durable, decorative protective layer
- with Metalxact powder coating: color-coated or painted in over 1,500 different shades
What dimensions, formats, and cutting options are available?
We offer both standard formats and custom cut-to-size options in material thicknesses of approx. 1 to 5 mm. Cutting is carried out with high precision. Upon request, we deburr the cut edges or apply protective film or lamination to the sheets. Perfect for projects where dimensional accuracy and ready-to-use surfaces are essential.
