Sheet Metal – Even More Useful Than You Thought!
One of our most popular product lines at Arizona Iron Supply is our sheet metal inventory. Sheet metal is extremely universal, playing key roles in fields like medical, transportation, aerospace, consumer electronics, and more. In fact, the sheet metal industry is expected to reach a value of $4.4 billion annually by 2026. At Arizona Iron Supply, we’ve seen more sheet metal purchases than ever before – including for some newer, innovative applications.
Here are just a few areas where we’re seeing a huge growth in modern sheet metal uses:
Enclosures
The options are nearly endless for how sheet metal can be manipulated to construct enclosures for a wide variety of projects. Depending on the tools used, sheet metal enclosures can be waterproof, or contain openings for gears or buttons. Also, CNC technology allows the fabrication of enclosures without any openings or gaskets, virtually eliminating the risk of fluids or dust entering.
Small fabrications
With sheet metal, you can think small. Thanks to its strength, resistance to corrosion, and constructability, sheet metal is the ideal material for connectors or brackets. Sheet metal is also often used to construct engine parts, medical equipment, vents, mounts, and panels of all sizes.
Décor and design
We’ve been thrilled to see an influx of commercial interior designers and decorators partner with Arizona Iron Supply over the last several months. Interior designers in Phoenix are discovering more and more ways that sheet metal can bring beauty, class, and practical strength to an interior space. In today’s design landscape you’ll find sheet metal making appearances in ceiling tiles, dividing walls, accent walls, tables, and counter tops. Additionally, we’re seeing designers install sheet metal cabinets in a variety of applications; kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, and garages are all getting an exciting pop thanks to the use of this innovative cabinetry. Designers are making the most of sheet metal’s ability to be perforated, bent, textured, and cut with utmost precision to achieve the look they envision.
