metal sheets

Thin industrial panels

Metal sheets are flat, thin pieces of metal produced by rolling or hammering.

They serve as raw material for countless applications—roofing, ductwork, car bodies, appliances.

The thickness distinguishes sheet metal from foil (thinner) and plate (thicker): We need three metal sheets for the project.

Often called simply sheets in context.
