Our material selection guide walks through the environment inputs step by step.<\/p>\n<h3>Do you manufacture in all of these materials or only some?<\/h3>\n<p>All four families \u2014 aluminum, 304\/316 stainless, carbon steel, and polycarbonate \u2014 are built to order in our own fabrication. Many projects combine them, for example a stainless body with an aluminum back pan.<\/p>\n<h3>Can material be changed after drawings are started?<\/h3>\n<p>Usually yes in the engineering phase, since cutouts and dimensions often carry over between materials of the same thickness class. Coating, welding method, and gasket choices are re-confirmed whenever material changes.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I get material samples before ordering?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes \u2014 we can provide material and finish samples together with the quotation so your team can verify look, feel, and corrosion behavior before committing to production.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2ab11177 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"2ab11177\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-47a076fd wd-width-100 elementor-widget elementor-widget-wd_title\" data-id=\"47a076fd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"wd_title.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"title-wrapper set-mb-s reset-last-child wd-title-color-default wd-title-style-default wd-title-size-large text-center\">\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"liner-continer\">\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"woodmart-title-container title wd-fontsize-xxl\">Related Guides<\/h2> \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a4532c6e color-scheme-inherit text-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a4532c6e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/electricalcabinet.net\/en_gb\/electrical-enclosure-material-selection-guide\/\">Electrical Enclosure Material Selection: How to Choose for the Environment<\/a> \u2014 the full environment-driven selection method behind this page<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/electricalcabinet.net\/en_gb\/metal-vs-steel-electrical-enclosure\/\">Metal vs Steel Electrical Enclosures: Terminology, Materials, and Selection Inputs<\/a> \u2014 material terminology resolved for specification work<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/electricalcabinet.net\/en_gb\/outdoor-plastic-junction-boxes-pros-cons\/\">Outdoor Plastic Junction Boxes: Pros, Cons, and Selection Inputs<\/a> \u2014 where non-metallic materials earn their place outdoors<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/electricalcabinet.net\/en_gb\/plastic-enclosure-temperature-ratings\/\">Plastic Enclosure Temperature Ratings: Ambient, Heat, UV, and Duty Inputs<\/a> \u2014 thermal limits when considering plastic families<\/li>\n<\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Enclosure By Material Choosing the enclosure material is the first engineering decision in any electrical build \u2014 it sets corrosion<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":25669,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-32187","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/electricalcabinet.net\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/32187","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/electricalcabinet.net\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/electricalcabinet.net\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/electricalcabinet.net\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/electricalcabinet.net\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32187"}],"version-history":[{"count":49,"href":"https:\/\/electricalcabinet.net\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/32187\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":35712,"href":"https:\/\/electricalcabinet.net\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/32187\/revisions\/35712"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/electricalcabinet.net\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/25669"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/electricalcabinet.net\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32187"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
