About Perforated Sheets

These sheets and bars are zinc galvanized for good corrosion resistance. Also known as mild steel, low-carbon steel is easy to machine, form, and weld. It's widely fabricated into parts that don’t require high strength, such as fixture clamps, mounting plates, and spacers.

Polished Multipurpose 304 Stainless Steel

Polished to either a brushed or mirror-like finish, this material is widely used to fabricate decorative enclosures and industrial workstations. The sheets, strips, bars, and adhesive-back foil are covered with a protective peel-off film. 304 stainless steel is a good all-around choice for a wide range of applications. It maintains its corrosion resistance in temperatures up to 1500° F.

Brushed #3 finish has grain lines running in one direction to mask fingerprints. Brushed #4 is often called a satin finish; it’s similar to a #3 finish, except the grain lines are finer. Mirror-like #8 finish is reflective and free of grain lines.

Foil, sheets, and strips are polished on one side.
