Frequently asked questions

What should I include in my enquiry?

Send the product, grade or standard, dimensions, quantity, required finish and destination. Describe the end use if the specification is still being developed.

Can I request a particular size or finish?

Yes, include your required size and finish in the enquiry. Availability and any processing requirements must be confirmed in the quotation.

How are minimum order and lead time confirmed?

They depend on grade, dimensions, processing and quantity. We confirm them for the particular order rather than publish one figure for every product.

What documents should I request?

State the material test document, inspection scope and other purchasing documents required for your project. Agree these with the order.
