Questions and Answers for M-D Building Products 12 in. x 24 in. Cloverleaf Aluminum Sheet in Brass

A:  Thank you for your question. Yes, this product has been used on the front of cabinet doors.

A:  A bead of clear silicone.

A:  The reveal is not consistent. On two sides, it's 1/8"; it's 1/4" on the other sides (this is for the 36x36 version). This measurement is between the edge of the sheet and one of the 'nubs' in the cloverleaf cutout. Hope this helps.

A:  Thank you for your question. The width is 1/4"

A:  Thank you for the question. The pattern should match.

A:  Yes

A:  Border is about 1/2" .

A:  It’s 1/2” on each side.

A:  the border is 3/8" so a 36 in. X 36 in. will give you plenty to spare

A:  Hi, the sheet is very thin and flimsy, approx. 1/32 of an inch. I use it as a radiator cover. i don’t think it can support more than a pound or so.

A:  Not much at all... It's very thin gauge and flimsy. You might be better off using a piece of diamond mesh steel screen...

A:  They are pretty thin. Aluminum melts at 1221F. A fire pit might reach 2000F. Go with steel or, better yet, iron.

A:  Thank you for your question. Any clear type of adhesive that can be used for both metal and wood should do the trick.

A:  Not sure of the gauge however the thickness is around 1/16 inch. The metal-to-cutout area does not weaken the sheet. My previous sheet was used behind a microwave & vertical. This new sheet is being used horizontally on the ceiling to cover HVAC returns, and does not sag.

A:  Thank you for the question. The product thickness is .019".

A:  Yes, I've had good results with canned spray paint such as Rust-Oleum Painters Touch 2X Ultra Cover.

A:  Yes, it can be painted

A:  Its metal so use paint with primer spray. Depending on where you are using It..if near heat you can prime and use heat resistant spray paint I would think if you follow this it could be beautiful

A:  Definitely. Use a primer first or a paint w/primer and you should be good. I painted mine with Latex over 2 years ago and they still look great. I don't recommend Latex for a bathroom or outdoors.

A:  Yes could be painted with all listed, I suggest using an enamel.

A:  I didn’t pant mine but I’m pretty crafty/handy and there wouldn’t be a reason you couldn’t paint it as far as I could see. Now because it’s a slick surface you need to do very light coats at a time or it will drip. Laying it flat when painting even better. I used it for a couple of kitchen cabinet doors. Turned out great. Also know that it damages easily in transport so check it before you leave the store if you are picking it up there.

A:  It could potentially be spray painted if it’s inside and doesn’t get a lot of handling. Obviously you would need to sand and prime first, but it may work.

A:  I would only use spray paint on this after scuffing with fine steel wool.

A:  I think not as it has openings you can point remote anbd adjust location of box inside. You just have to know where that location is on your equipment to line it up.

A:  We are not familiar but unlikely

A:  We would not recommend any of the perforated sheets because they would be a little too sharp for kittens! We would however recommend something like our Screen Door Grills - they are powder coated and I don't think they would be as sharp.

A:  I would not use this for what you have described. You would need a heavier gauge metal for the use you want. This would not hold up against your pets.
