Frequently asked questions about sheets made to measure
Which sheets can I order made to measure from METALXACT?
At METALXACT, you can choose aluminium sheets, steel sheets, stainless steel sheets, brass sheets, perforated sheets, chequer plates, tread plates, aluminium composite panels and polycarbonate sheets, among other products, and configure them to suit your project depending on the product.
Which details are important for sheet metal cutting?
Important details include material, alloy, surface finish, material thickness, length, width, quantity, desired processing, application area and whether the sheet will be used visibly, structurally, in weather-exposed conditions or decoratively.
Which material thickness is the right one?
The right material thickness depends on the application. Thinner sheets are often suitable for cladding, signs and lightweight covers; thicker plates are useful for more resilient technical applications, supports or structural components.
Which surface finish should I choose?
The surface finish depends on appearance, corrosion protection, stress and environment. Depending on the product, blank, ground, galvanized, perforated, chequered, coated or powder-coated versions are possible.
Can I also order individual pieces?
Yes, at METALXACT you can order both individual pieces and larger series production. This makes sheets made to measure suitable for both private projects and commercial applications.
Can sheets made to measure be further processed?
Yes, depending on the material and version, your sheet made to measure can also be folded, drilled or deburred. Also
L-profiles,
U-profiles and
Z-profiles can be planned as folded parts depending on the product area.
Which sheets are suitable for outdoor use?
Stainless steel sheets, aluminium sheets and galvanized steel sheets are particularly suitable for outdoor use when corrosion protection and weather resistance are important. The specific choice depends on environment, load and surface finish.
Are coloured sheets made to measure available?
Yes, powder coating in various RAL colours is available on request for aluminium, steel and stainless steel sheets. This allows functionality and individual appearance to be combined optimally.
What do I need to consider regarding tolerances?
With sheet metal cuts, material-, production- and process-dependent dimensional, cutting, flatness and surface tolerances must be considered. For precise-fit or visible applications, these requirements should be checked before ordering.
Does the configurator replace technical design verification?
No. The online configurator supports selection and ordering, but does not replace technical verification for load-bearing, safety-relevant or especially precise-fit applications.
