FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between stainless steel, aluminium, and mild steel fabrication?
Each material offers different benefits depending on the application. Stainless steel is ideal for hygienic, corrosion-resistant environments like kitchens or medical spaces. Aluminium is lightweight, rust-proof and great for outdoor or mobile use. Mild steel is heavier and more cost-effective, making it suitable for structural or load-bearing applications. Choosing the right material depends on the purpose, environment and durability needs of the project.
How long does a typical custom fabrication project take?
Timeframes vary based on the size, complexity and material of the job. Simple bench or railing builds may be completed within a few days, while more complex structural or multi-material work can take several weeks. Accurate measurements and clear specifications help reduce turnaround times. Custom fabrication is usually quicker when done locally, as it avoids lengthy shipping or prefabrication delays.
Do fabricated items need ongoing maintenance?
While fabricated metal items are generally low maintenance, some upkeep may be required to preserve appearance and performance. Stainless steel should be cleaned periodically to prevent staining or surface corrosion, especially in coastal or high-use areas. Aluminium is highly resistant to rust but can oxidise over time, while mild steel may need repainting or recoating to prevent rust. Regular inspections help catch wear early and extend the life of your fabricated solution.
