In additonal to the steel and the stainless panel, we also use laser cut aluminum panel to do the decorative screens. Comparing with the steel, the laser cut aluminum panel has some natural advantages, especially for the international trading.

The aluminum is light. Yes, we all know that the aluminum material is much lighter than steel or stainless steel, the density of the aluminum is nearly one third of the steel. So we can save a lot of weight on the laser cut aluminum panel, which would save a lot of shipping cost, particularly on long distance overseas air shipping.

The aluminum won’t rust. You can say it is nonsense, but it is true that the aluminum will never ever get rust. There is surface finishing provide the protection for the steel products or the stainless steel has good performance for outdoor use, but they will rust anyway after long time use in outdoor. So the laser cut aluminum panel will be a good choice for the outdoor products like the decorative metal fence, the decorative garden screens, etc.

Although the laser cut aluminum panel has so many advantages in decorative screens, we need to note the difference of it to the normal steel products. Aluminum material cost more on laser cutting. The aluminum material cost more than steel or stainless steel at the same condition. So it would be better to use water jet or plasma to cut the aluminum panel if possible.

The aluminum material is more expensive. It is much lighter, but the unit price is very expensive, the price of the aluminum is quite close to stainless steel. Also we need to know that the surface finishing effect of the laser cut aluminum panel is special. Because of the material feature, the surface is not that flat so we cannot have shining surface effect on aluminum; please consider this while you choose the material to do the decorative screens.
