Aluminum Coil & Sheet

Both start from the same corrosion-resistant aluminum base — the difference is the surface. Prepainted aluminum carries a smooth, factory-applied color coating (PE, PVDF, or FEVE) for roofing, gutters, facades, and decorative panels where color hold and weatherability lead the specification. Embossed aluminum is passed through patterned rollers to create a raised texture that adds rigidity, hides handling marks, and provides slip resistance — the choice for insulation jacketing, trailer panels, and anti-slip flooring. Embossed sheet can also be color-coated where texture and color are both required.

It depends on the application. The 1000 series (1100) is soft, pure aluminum for insulation jacketing and interior work. The 3000 series (3003, 3004, 3105) offers higher strength and is the standard for roofing, gutters, downspouts, and general panels. The 5000 series (5052) delivers extreme corrosion resistance and hardness for marine environments, facades, trailers, and flooring. Share your project details and climate, and we will recommend the right alloy.

It depends on exposure. PE (polyester) is cost-effective for interior and low-UV applications, with a typical service life of 8–10 years. PVDF (fluorocarbon, Kynar 500) offers the best UV and weather resistance for outdoor roofing and cladding, lasting 20+ years. FEVE is a premium option for high-end architectural finishes. For anything roof-exposed or coastal, we recommend PVDF or FEVE.

Yes. Aluminum’s natural oxide layer makes it rust-proof, and PVDF or FEVE coatings hold their color under sun, rain, and salt air. Prepainted and embossed aluminum are both well suited to outdoor roofing, gutters, facades, trailers, and shutters — particularly in coastal and high-humidity environments where steel is more vulnerable.

Yes. Pressing a stucco or diamond pattern into thin aluminum increases surface rigidity, so a lighter gauge holds its shape better than a smooth sheet of the same thickness. This lets you specify a thinner, lighter sheet in many jacketing and panel applications without losing stiffness.

Everesteel is a manufacturer. Every coil supplied is produced at our own factory in Jiangyin, Jiangsu, on our own coating and embossing lines. We do not source product from third-party mills and resell it. Buying factory-direct means your specification is controlled at the source, and you have direct access to our technical team throughout the process.

Our standard minimum order quantity is 3 tons per specification. For standard colors and common patterns such as stucco, a lower MOQ may be possible when we hold stock coils. For custom colors, non-standard alloys, or custom emboss tooling, we recommend 5–10 tons to cover setup and formulation costs.

Submit a RAL code, Pantone reference, or physical sample. Our technical team produces a lab drawdown — typically within 5–10 working days — for your review. Once you approve the color and specification in writing, we schedule full production. A production-run sample can also be provided for final approval before the complete order is processed.

Yes. We operate slitting and cut-to-length lines in-house. Coils can be slit to custom widths from 20 mm and above, and sheet blanks can be cut to your specified dimensions with flatness and squareness tolerances suitable for direct forming or press feeding. Coils use standard “Eye to Sky” or “Eye to Wall” export packing, and sheets are interleaved with protective paper where required and palletized for safe export.

Standard lead time is 15–25 days from order confirmation and deposit receipt. Custom colors requiring new paint formulation or custom emboss tooling may add 7–10 days for sample approval. Expedited scheduling may be available depending on production capacity at the time of order. We confirm your lead time when we respond to your inquiry.
