Aluminium eignet sich häufig für leichte und korrosionsbeständige Anwendungen. Stahl ist eine robuste und wirtschaftliche Lösung für Konstruktionen und Werkstattprojekte. Edelstahl passt zu hochwertigen, hygienischen oder feuchten Umgebungen. Messing wird häufig für dekorative Innenbereiche verwendet. Entscheidend sind Material, Stärke, Oberfläche, Zuschnittmaß, Toleranzen und Einsatzumgebung.
With sheets and metal plates, suitability is determined not only by the material. Material thickness, surface finish, cut-to-size dimensions, edge processing and application environment are also important. A sheet for a decorative interior surface is selected differently from a load-bearing cover plate, a perforated sheet for ventilation or a chequer plate for anti-slip tread surfaces.
| Material | Typical thickness / selection | Surface finishes / variants | Suitable direction |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aluminium | Thin to medium sheet thicknesses depending on the product | Raw, anodised, perforated, chequered, coated, composite panel | Lightweight covers, facades, furniture making, vehicle construction, advertising technology |
| Steel | Robust sheet thicknesses depending on load | Raw, galvanized, perforated, coated, powder-coated | Workshop construction, structure, technical cladding, robust covers |
| Stainless steel | Thin to thicker sheets depending on the application | Unground, ground, perforated, film-coated, powder-coated | Kitchens, mechanical engineering, hygiene, facades, high-quality visible surfaces |
| Brass | Decorative and technical sheet thicknesses depending on the product | Warm metal look, suitable for interiors and design | Signs, covers, decoration, design, fittings |
| Polycarbonate | Panel thicknesses depending on product and protective function | Transparent, lightweight, impact-resistant | Protective screens, machine covers, transparent applications |
In practice, the higher the mechanical load, span, tread stress or fixing distance, the more carefully material and thickness need to be checked. For visible surfaces, surface finish, protective film, scratch sensitivity and later cleaning are especially important.
At METALXACT, numerous materials are available to help you find the right sheet made to measure for every project:
Aluminium perforated sheet: Lightweight, corrosion-resistant and easy to process – ideal for ventilation covers, privacy screens or decorative applications indoors and outdoors.
Aluminium sheet: The universally applicable lightweight metal scores with easy processability and high weather resistance – perfect for facades, furniture making or vehicle cladding.
Brass sheet: With its warm, brownish-red to golden appearance, brass sheet is ideal for decorative elements, signs, covers and design projects indoors.
Stainless steel sheet: Robust, rust-free and hygienic – stainless steel sheet is the first choice for kitchens, machine cladding, facades and demanding technical applications.
Galvanized steel sheet: Robust and durable, with additional corrosion protection through galvanizing – ideal for load-bearing structures, workshop construction or agricultural applications.
Stainless steel perforated sheet: Functional and visually appealing at the same time – stainless steel perforated sheets are highly suitable for modern architecture, ventilation grilles or privacy screen solutions.
Galvanized perforated steel sheet: Stable and rust-protected – galvanized perforated steel sheets are ideal for outdoor use, for example for fences, enclosures or technical cladding.
Polycarbonate sheets: Lightweight and transparent – polycarbonate is ideal as a protective screen, machine cover or weather-resistant application with visibility.
Depending on the application, you can also have your sheet folded, drilled or deburred. Combinations of different processing steps are also possible when the component is not only to be cut, but prepared directly for easy assembly.
Customised metal sheets offer maximum flexibility and are used in numerous industries and projects - from functional structural components to decorative design objects. Thanks to the possibility of customised production, metal sheets can be precisely adapted to the respective application. Typical applications include
Cladding for façades and roofs: customised cuts offer long-lasting protection from the weather and at the same time enable creative architectural design. Transitions, connections and wall coverings can also be neatly realised using suitable edgings.
Interior fittings and furniture construction: Whether as a kitchen splashback, shelf panelling, furniture front or as a design element - customised sheets are versatile, easy to install and bring a modern look to interiors.
Mechanical and plant engineering: In industry, sheet metal is used as protective panelling, covers, housing parts or structural components - precisely manufactured, resilient and with drill holes or cut-outs on request.
Workshop and vehicle construction: customised sheet metal is used as loading area cladding, tread plates or cover plates. Slip-resistant chequer plates and tear plates are particularly popular here.
Shop and trade fair construction: In temporary construction, it is important to use dimensionally accurate, easy-to-install materials. Sheet metal can be used in a variety of ways here as back walls, counter panelling or stable presentation surfaces.
Advertising technology and signage: Smooth sheets made of aluminium or stainless steel serve as the basis for signs, displays or printed advertising spaces - individually formable, durable and weather-resistant.
DIY and home improvement projects: Customised sheet metal profiles and sheets are ideal for individual building projects at home: from small repairs and creative decorative ideas to functional applications such as fireplace cladding or protective panels.
Whether rectangular, square or in a special shape - with our intuitive configurator, you can easily order customised flashings and sheets. Simply enter the length, width and material thickness and select the desired surface or colour option. They are cut precisely to your specifications - with additional bends or drill holes on request.
We manufacture your sheets and sheet metal edgings in customised lengths, widths and material thicknesses, tailored to your specifications. Cuts from a few centimetres up to large-format sheets are possible - always accurate to the millimetre. This saves time, costs and rework. Depending on the material, customised sheets and panels are available in thicknesses between 0.3 mm and 5 mm.
For applications where appearance counts, we also offer coated and coloured sheet metal blanks - including in RAL colours of your choice. These coloured metal sheets are particularly suitable for visible surfaces in architecture, furniture construction or shop fitting. Coloured sheets combine functionality with design appeal.
