Describe your needs

Comparison criterion

Choose steel, aluminium or another substrate according to span, climate, corrosion and target service life.
Compare thickness, coating weight, profile, effective width, insulation and surface treatment.
Verify wind resistance, weather tightness, fire behaviour and compatibility of fasteners and accessories.
Clarify lengths, tolerances, protective film, stacking, loading and transport-deformation risks.

Supplier file

Official datasheet showing the exact reference, dimensions, materials and declared performance.
Certificates and test reports applicable to the product and destination market.
Warranty terms, exclusions, duration, claim procedure and spare-parts availability.
Packing plan, labelling, quantity per package, dimensions and logistics weight.

Pre-shipment checks

Verify references, quantities and conformity with the approved sample.
Inspect appearance, dimensions, assembly, finish and markings against the specification.
Run functional tests or measurements on an agreed sample before release.
Check packing, accessories, documents and transport protection.

Prepare supplier outreach

The information needed to compare supplier offers properly.

A precise request reduces pricing gaps, technical misunderstandings and corrections after sampling.
