Read articleQuestions we hear before supply
Is the published price final?
No. The published price per m² is indicative and used to build an initial cost picture. The final quotation is issued after we review project specifications, quantity and delivery location.
What is the minimum supply quantity?
It depends on the profile, thickness and project location, and is confirmed by the sales team within the quotation.
Can I upload drawings and a BOQ?
Yes. The quotation request form accepts PDF, DWG, XLSX, DOCX and image files.
How should sheets be stored on site?
Bundles are kept off the ground on timber skids no more than 1.5 m apart, at a 1%–3% slope so water drains. If sheets get wet they must be separated and loosely stacked for ventilation to prevent white rust, and covered with breathable sheeting rather than tight plastic.
What is the minimum bearing length?
Fifty millimetres on steel beams and seventy-five millimetres on concrete or masonry, per the YX54-241-900 technical data sheet.
Is online payment available?
Online payment is not available at this stage. Requests are recorded as quotation requests and completed commercially with the sales team.
