FAQ

What is the difference between aluminum plate and aluminum sheet?

The primary difference is the thickness of the material. Aluminum plate is typically 0.250 inches (1/4") or thicker and is used for structural applications. Sheet metal is thinner and more pliable, making it better suited for fabrication where frequent forming is required.

For most commercial builds, the material is supplied as bare mill stock in standard sizes. It can also be provided as aluminum plate cut to size or as fully fabricated components, ready for immediate assembly at your facility.

Yes, we specialize in custom cut aluminum plates. We can shear, saw, or use precision waterjet technology to provide the exact length, width, and shape your project requires, which helps minimize on-site waste.

Absolutely. Our aluminum plate grades comply with strict ASTM standards, such as ASTM B209. We also carry specialized stock for marine (5083/H321), aerospace, and high-pressure industrial applications.

Yes. We are equipped to manage large-volume bulk orders for major contractors as well as smaller, project-specific requirements for individual fabricators, backed by flexible local logistics.

Pricing is influenced by the specific grade (alloy), thickness, total quantity, and any secondary finishes or custom fabrication services like CNC machining.

C & R Metals is a leading supplier in South Florida. We maintain extensive aluminum plate stock and provide expert technical guidance for commercial, marine, and industrial construction projects.

Yes. Certain aluminum grades like 5052 and 5083 are specifically engineered for corrosion resistance. They are the preferred choice for marine hulls and coastal infrastructure because they do not rust like steel.

The material should be stored flat in a dry environment to prevent moisture staining. While lighter than other metals, proper lifting equipment is recommended for larger sizes due to their overall weight.
