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.
