Q1: Can I order samples or a small quantity?
A: Yes. We support sample approvals and small trial orders, as well as bulk production. Share your material, thickness, hole size/pitch, and sheet size for a quick quote.
Q2: What’s the typical lead time?
A: Standard items usually ship in 3–7 days. Custom patterns or added fabrication typically take 7–15 days after the drawing is confirmed.
Q3: How do you control flatness after perforation?
A: We use CNC punching and leveling to reduce distortion. For dense patterns or thinner gauges, we plan the process carefully and check flatness before packing.
Q4: What surface finishes are available?
A: Common options include galvanizing, powder coating (custom RAL colors), painting, and anodizing for aluminum. If you have an environment requirement, tell us and we’ll recommend a finish.
Q5: Which material is best for outdoor use?
A: Stainless steel is a reliable choice for corrosion resistance, and galvanized steel is a common option for outdoor projects with cost control. The best pick depends on your environment and service life target.
Q6: How do you pack for international shipping?
A: We typically use protective film and interleaving, edge protection, steel strapping, and wooden pallets (or crates if needed) to help prevent scratches and bending during transit.
Q7: I don’t have drawings—can you help with the specification?
A: Yes. Send your application, target sheet size, thickness range, and preferred hole size/open area. We can suggest a workable pattern and provide a simple drawing for approval.
Q8: Can these sheets be used for sound control projects?
A: Yes. They’re often used as a perforated facing when combined with acoustic backing. Open area and backing selection matter, and we can help you choose a suitable layout.
Q9: What payment methods do you accept?
A: We support T/T and L/C for international orders. If you have a preferred payment arrangement, let us know and we’ll confirm what works for the order.
Q10: Can you powder coat in custom colors?
A: Yes. We can powder coat in a wide range of RAL colors. Share the RAL code (and gloss level if needed) for confirmation.
Q11: Do you ship worldwide and provide export documents?
A: Yes. We export globally and can provide standard paperwork such as a packing list and commercial invoice, plus other documents as required by your country or forwarder.
Q12: How do I know the open area percentage?
A: Open area depends on hole size and pitch/layout. Share your parameters and we’ll calculate it for you, or use the Open Area & Weight Calculator tab on this page.
