Welcome to bringate.co.uk, the best resource for information about sheet metal and sheet metal fabrication. Sheet metal is exactly as it sounds, sheets of metal that have been formed into flat pieces. The metal is made into sheet metal by compression processes or rolling which slowly makes the metal into the desired thickness. The thickness of sheet metal can vary with the thinnest version being foil or leaf. Sheet metal is measured in guages and is used for many items from tin cans, car body panels, aeroplane wings to even the kitchen sink. Sheet metal can be made out of many different types of metal with the most common being steel, aluminium, brass and even titanium.
