Where can I find the prices for your pressed metal
panels?
They can be located by clicking
Pressed Metal Prices.
Do you send your panels overseas?
Yes, we air freight our panelling all over the world.
Isn't air freight rather expensive?
No. Fortunately we receive good discounts from the air
freight companies which we are able to pass on to our
customers
Can I order a small number of panels, say for a back splash?
You can order a minimum of three, however sending just a few panels can work out
quite expensive, from a freight point of view, on a "per panel" basis. We get better
shipping rates on larger amounts of paneling sufficient for
a ceiling.
How long
does air freight take?
Usually less than a week. It is particularly fast to
the USA - four or five days usually.
How big are your metal panels?
They are various sizes but most are either 1800 mm x 600 mm
(6' x 2') or 1800 mm x 900 mm (6' x 3')
What are the panels made from?
They are made from a special aluminium alloy which is
approximately half a millimetre thick. When the
aluminium is pressed into the various patterns its strength
is actually increased. It is an exciting product,
better than normal tin ceilings because it is lightweight
and it doesn't rust.
Where do all the beautiful designs come from?
They are authentically copied from the old patterns that
were available in Australia up to a hundred years ago
How do I work out how many metal panels to order?
We are here to help you work out exactly what you need.
Just ask for help.
What sort of finish coating is on the
metal?
The finish coating is
dependent on which manufacturer we source the product from.
In general, the panels with a (D) after their names are
coated in etch primer and the ones with a (P) do not have
primer on them. They all need to be coated in paint or
some other finish. Shiny raw aluminium goes greyish
and mottled if left unfinished.
Roughly how much does it cost to ship a tin
ceiling overseas?
Please contact us to give us approximate
quantities or room measurements and we will roughly estimate
the freight costs. Our estimate will be all inclusive
(i.e. packing, airfreight, insurance and Australian customs
charges) but does not include any costs that customs may
charge you in your country.
Won't the plaster medallions get broken in transit?
We prefer to sell our plaster
creations for our local market so they
can be hand delivered. We have
sent them overseas but they have to be
packed properly in expanding foam which
protects them very well. They are packed by a
professional packing company so this
means the cost is much higher if we use
this service.
Are your prices in Australian dollars or US
dollars?
Our prices are in Australian dollars. Please
contact us for current exchange rates for all countries. We
will work out the cost for you in your currency.
