Materials

clear material choices help customers quote with confidence

A strong materials page should feel like a proper manufacturing catalogue: simple to scan, honest about thickness ranges, and clear about which finishes and workflows each material supports.

Material Range

built for quoting, production, and repeat orders

Customers should be able to understand the core tradeoffs quickly: strength, finish compatibility, corrosion resistance, appearance, and weight.

Mild Steel

strong, practical, and powder-coat friendly

Available in 1.0 mm, 1.5 mm, 2.0 mm, and 3.0 mm. A dependable choice for brackets, panels, and general fabricated parts.

1.0 mm 1.5 mm 2.0 mm 3.0 mm
Stainless Steel

cleaner corrosion resistance for tougher environments

Available in 1.0 mm, 1.5 mm, 2.0 mm, and 3.0 mm. Best suited where durability and corrosion resistance matter more than lowest cost.

1.0 mm 1.5 mm 2.0 mm 3.0 mm
Aluminium

lighter weight with a cleaner finish path

Available in 1.0 mm and 1.5 mm. A good option for lighter parts where weight matters and a neater visual finish is needed.

1.0 mm 1.5 mm Lightweight
Acrylic

clean cut plastic parts with colour selection

Available in 3.0 mm and 5.0 mm with Black, White, Clear, and Dark Grey Tinted options. Best presented as a simpler, design-led option rather than a metal equivalent.

What Customers Need To Know

material pages should answer practical buying questions

Which thicknesses can be quoted instantly
Which materials support powder coating
Which options are better for corrosion resistance or lower weight
When a material choice will force manual review
Better Presentation

make the page feel like a catalogue, not a note

SendCutSend feels polished because each page is structured like a real buyer resource. Your version should feel more focused and UK-specific, but the same principle applies: material choice should feel deliberate and easy to trust.
