Custom & OEM Support
MutualMetal combines selected in-house production with partner-factory supply to provide perforated metal, expanded metal, industrial bar grating, and checkered plate to client drawings, tolerances and OEM requirements, subject to project confirmation.
Custom Processing Coordination
Custom processing coordination
Processing options can be coordinated through selected in-house production or partner factories; tolerances are confirmed for each project and producing factory.
Custom dimensions
Sheets and panels cut to project-specific length, width, and thickness.
Custom specifications
Hole pattern, pitch, and open-area ratios engineered to spec.
Fabrication coordination
Processing options can be coordinated through selected in-house production or partner factories, subject to project requirements and confirmation.
Surface treatment
Finishing options including galvanizing, powder coating, and mill finish.
OEM requirements
Supply coordinated to OEM drawings; tolerances confirmed per project and producing factory.
Drawing/specification review
Our team reviews your drawings and specifications and replies with a quotation.
Enquiry Workflow
How a custom enquiry works
From initial drawing submission to final dispatch, our team coordinates technical review, quotation, and manufacturing through selected in-house production or partner factories.
Send drawing, sample or description
Share CAD files, sketches, photos, pattern codes, or project dimensions with your expected material and quantities.
Feasibility review by our team
Our team evaluates dimensions, material grades, open area or load parameters, tooling options, and manufacturing feasibility.
Specification and quote confirmed
We clarify tolerances, finish requirements, packaging details, and project quote terms before proceeding.
Production arranged through selected in-house production or partner factories
Fabrication is routed to the suitable facility, with processing and progress coordinated according to agreed specifications.
Accepted Inputs
What we can work from
You don't need a finished engineering drawing to initiate a conversation. We accept multiple input types and clarify technical parameters with your team.
CAD drawings
Vector drawings detailing hole patterns, margin dimensions, cut-outs, banding, and plate thicknesses.
Hand sketches with dimensions
Dimensioned sketches indicating length, width, thickness, pitch, border widths, and opening orientations.
Photos or physical samples
Clear photos with a measurement rule, or physical samples couriered to evaluate patterns and dimensions.
Standard or pattern codes
Standard designation codes such as NAAMM 19-W-4, teardrop/diamond plate designations, or perforated tooling codes.
Existing part numbers
Equipment manufacturer reference numbers or fabrication part codes for dimensional cross-referencing.

Product Categories
Customisation by product
Every product category offers configurable dimensions and tooling options, subject to project requirements and confirmation.
Perforated Metal
MutualMetal OEM
Custom perforation configurations engineered for filtration, architectural facades, acoustic panels, and machinery guards.
Round, square, slotted, decorative, or custom staggered/straight tooling arrangements.
Center-to-center pitch, open-area ratios, and unperforated margin widths specified to print.
Custom length and width panels, shear-cut blanks, or continuous coils subject to confirmation.
Carbon steel, stainless steel 304/316, aluminum alloys, or galvanized sheet in target gauges.
Expanded Metal
MutualMetal OEM
Rigid, joint-free expanded diamond patterns coordinated for walkways, enclosures, facades, and heavy grating.
Standard diamond, micro-mesh, architectural decorative profiles, or heavy walkway grating.
LWD and SWD opening dimensions paired with specified strand width and raw plate thickness.
Standard or custom rectangular sheets, random sheared edges, or clean bond-sheared borders.
Raised for directional traction and stiffness, or cold-rolled flattened for flush touch surfaces.
Bar Grating
MutualMetal OEM
Heavy-duty structural bar grating configured for industrial floors, platforms, trenches, and staircase treads.
Bearing bar depth, thickness, and center spacing matched to span and uniform load conditions.
Panel span and width designed around structural steel layouts to minimise field adjustments.
Smooth or serrated bearing bars; hot-dip galvanized, painted, or mill finish carbon steel/stainless.
Full end/side banding, kick plates, and custom circular or rectangular cut-outs for penetrations.
Checkered Plate
MutualMetal OEM
Tear-drop, diamond, or multi-bar pattern floor plates coordinated for slip resistance and heavy surface wear.
Diamond pattern, teardrop pattern, two-bar, or five-bar configurations confirmed per project.
Base plate thickness excluding raised pattern height, selected according to bearing requirements.
Custom width, custom cut lengths, sheared rectangular sections, or profiled stepped panels.
Commercial carbon steel, structural steel, hot-dip galvanized finish, or stainless steel grades.
