Stock sizes, or your cutting list
Standard 4×8 ft and 5×10 ft sheets move from the Peenya yard in small quantities, which is usually the fastest way to get a job started. If the job is a run of identical blanks, send the cutting list with your enquiry and we price the cutting as part of the quotation — it costs less than paying your own team to break sheets down and it keeps the offcut off your floor.
Picking a grade for formed work
For anything that gets bent, the alloy and temper together decide whether the bend cracks. 5052-H32 is the default for formed enclosures and panels: it holds a tight radius, welds well and stands up to weather. 3003 is a cheaper step down where strength is not critical. 1100 is the softest and most formable, used for deep-drawn and spun work. 5083 is specified where corrosion resistance has to be higher still, typically marine and chemical service. 7075 is a high-strength sheet for aerospace-type and tooling work rather than forming; it does not bend well and is not suited to welding.
Surface protection
Sheet for visible panel work can be supplied PVC-filmed so it reaches your bending machine without handling marks. Say so on the enquiry — film is easier to specify up front than to explain after the panels are scratched.

Sheets: what buyers ask.
If yours isn't answered here, call and ask — you'll reach someone who knows the stock.
What sheet sizes do you hold in stock?
4×8 ft and 5×10 ft in the common grades and gauges, held at our Peenya yard in Bengaluru. Other sizes are sourced to order or cut from stock sheet, whichever lands cheaper for you.
Can you cut sheet to size?
Yes. Send the cutting list with your enquiry — sizes, quantities and tolerance — and the cutting is priced into the quotation and done before dispatch.
Which grade should I order for bending?
5052-H32 is the usual answer for formed panels and enclosures, with 3003 a cheaper option where strength is not critical and 1100 where the part is deep drawn or spun. Tell us the bend radius and what the part does and we will recommend an alloy and temper.
Is PVC film available?
Yes, on sheet going into visible panel work. Ask for it on the enquiry so it is on the order confirmation.
