What Information Is Needed for a Fast Quotation of Perforated Metal Panels?

For engineering projects, quotation speed is often a key factor in supplier selection.
When sourcing custom perforated metal panels, most quotation delays are caused by missing or unclear project information.

Providing the right details at the beginning allows a perforated metal supplier to issue a fast and accurate quotation.

If you are still in the supplier selection stage, this guide explains how to source custom perforated metal panels for engineering projects.

1. Application and Project Type

First, clarify where the perforated metal panels will be used, such as:

• Building facade or curtain wall

• Screening or sun shading system

• Ceiling, partition, or enclosure

Different applications require different materials, thicknesses, and fixing systems.

2. Panel Size and Quantity

Accurate dimensions and quantity are essential for pricing.
Please provide:

• Panel length and width

• Thickness requirement

• Total quantity or total area

For engineering projects, panel size directly affects material usage and fabrication cost.

3. Material and Surface Finish

Material selection has a major impact on price and durability:

• Aluminum perforated panels for lightweight facade systems

• Galvanized steel perforated metal for cost control

• Stainless steel (SS304 / SS316) for high durability environments

Surface finishes such as powder coating, PVDF coating, or anodizing should also be specified.

4. Perforation Pattern and Hole Size

To quote accurately, suppliers need:

• Hole shape (round, square, slot, or custom pattern)

• Hole size or diameter

• Open area or visual requirement

Standard perforation patterns are more economical, while custom artistic patterns require additional design work.

5. Installation Method and Delivery Time

Installation method affects panel edge treatment and thickness selection.
Please indicate:

• Frame-mounted or bolt-fixed installation

• Folded-edge cassette panels (if required)

• Required delivery time and project location

This information helps suppliers plan production and logistics efficiently.
