Sheet Metal Vancouver

What is Sheet Metal?

Sheet metal is metal formed into thin pieces of varying thicknesses and is one of the fundamental forms used in metalworking. Thickness of sheet metal is called its gauge. The larger the number, the thinner the metal. Sheet metal commonly ranges from 30 gauge to 8 gauge.

Many different types of metal can be made into sheet metal including steel, aluminum, stainless, and copper. Even silver, gold and platinum are used in decorative uses.

Sheet metal is used in car bodies, airplane wings, roofs many many other things. Magnetic metals like iron are used in transformers and electric machines.

Metalcraft specializing in working with steel, aluminum and copper to thicknesses of up to 1/4″. We also work with stainless up to 10 gauge.
