Argus Steel offers many ways to order perforated metal, depending on quantity, price, and lead time:

• The quickest and often times the cheapest is to buy standard, stock size sheets: 3’ x 8’, 3’ x10’, 4 ’x 8’, and 4’ x 10’. We stock different gauges in different sizes, depending on availability and tool width, but the most common size for 20 gauges and heavier is 4’X 10’. We can usually ship a stock size sheet the same day as ordered if we receive the order before noon.
• Drops or cut pieces offer you the ability to purchase your requirement in less than full sheets. If you need four square feet of 18 ga. Stainless to make a basket, strainer, or filter, you do not have to buy a whole sheet. This saves you money in both material and shipping, because most of the time your order can be shipped by UPS rather than motor freight. Drops can also be shipped same day; if we have to shear a piece it may take 24 hours.
• Custom perforating offers you the exact size and quantity you need for your job. There is usually a setup charge involved, but if there is any quantity, this is the best way to buy perforated metal. The lead time for a custom size and perforation runs from five days to three weeks, depending on raw material and the current backlog. If you have the time, you will get the exact size you need without any additional shearing or scrap.
• A blanket order allows you to order a large quantity of your requirements—perhaps a six-month supply—which we can release on demand.

U-EDGING CAPABILITIES

Argus Steel also provides customers with U-Edging accessories for perforated metals. Talk to us about the guidelines of your project, and we will explain your options for U-edge channel. U-edging covers sharp sides and corners across perforated metal plates, screens, and objects so pieces will retain their shape and remain safe to touch.

We recommend U-edging accessories for perforated panel railings and other high-contact surfaces. U-edging channel can be welded in place to create a finished look for your industrial or architectural applications.
