SIZE & MATERIAL GUIDE

Specify the right sheet before fabrication begins.

Use this guide to compare common dimensions, measurement units and stainless steel grades. Final availability, tolerance and recommended grade are confirmed for each project.

Common sheet dimensions.

Customized widths and lengths are available depending on grade, finish, quantity, fabrication and transport limits.

WIDTH

1000 / 1219 / 1500 mm

Customized width available by project.

LENGTH

2000 / 2438 / 3000 / 3048 mm

Customized lengths up to 6000 mm for selected products.

THICKNESS

0.3–30 mm

Cold-rolled sheet: 0.3–3.0 mm. Hot-rolled plate: 3.0–30 mm.

Metric	Imperial reference	Quotation note
25.4 mm	1 inch	Drawings in millimetres help avoid conversion errors.
304.8 mm	1 foot	Confirm whether dimensions are finished size or cutting size.
1219 × 2438 mm	Approx. 4 × 8 ft	A common architectural sheet size.
1219 × 3048 mm	Approx. 4 × 10 ft	Useful for taller wall and elevator panels.

Before ordering: specify whether cold-rolled sheet or hot-rolled plate is required, together with grade, actual or nominal thickness, width, length, finish, protective film, quantity and tolerance. Decorative surface finishes are normally based on cold-rolled sheet, while heavier fabrication can use hot-rolled plate. Oversized material may require special packing and freight planning.

Choose a stainless steel grade.

Corrosion exposure, fabrication, appearance, maintenance and budget should be considered together.

201

An economical austenitic grade with lower nickel content. Best for dry indoor decorative work, furniture and fixtures where corrosion exposure is limited.

VALUE-FOCUSED · DRY INTERIORS

304

The most common all-round grade, balancing corrosion resistance, fabrication and cost. Suitable for interiors, kitchens and many urban exterior applications.

GENERAL PURPOSE · MOST COMMON

316

Contains molybdenum for stronger resistance to chlorides and aggressive environments. Preferred near coastlines, pools, wet areas and marine projects.

COASTAL · WET · HIGHER RESISTANCE

430

A magnetic ferritic grade offering good value for dry indoor decoration and appliance-style applications. Corrosion resistance and forming differ from 304.

MAGNETIC · DRY INDOOR USE

Select by service environment.

This is a practical starting point; chemical exposure and local conditions may require engineering review.

Environment	Typical starting grade	Selection considerations
Dry indoor decorative area	201 / 430 / 304	Balance appearance, forming needs and budget.
General commercial interior	304	Reliable all-round choice for frequent-use spaces.
Kitchen, wet or hygiene-sensitive area	304 / 316	Cleaning chemicals, standing water and maintenance matter.
Urban exterior	304 / 316	Assess pollution, rain exposure and cleaning access.
Coastal, pool or chloride exposure	316	Salt and chlorides substantially increase corrosion risk.

Important: grade selection is not based on price alone. Share the installation location, environment, cleaning method and fabrication details so we can recommend a practical option.
