M-D Building Products 57010 1-Feet by 2-Feet .020-Inch Thick Elliptical Aluminum Sheet

This is just a perfect piece of cut metal to insert into my cold cellar door. It needs some circulation in there but is unsightly so this piece of metal makes a perfect "vent" to that little room under the stairs.

I own a custom woodworking company, Rust and Oak, when it comes to specialty projects I’m always on the hunt for something unique to suit my client’s requests. This cabinet required some flair to match finishes in the space. These metal detail grates were perfect and easy to work with. I had to cut them down a bit, which at first was tricky until I cut them down with the Dremel tool and a metal cutting disk. That solution worked best if you’re trying to cut them. They can be left plain or as you can see, painted to your liking. They turned out great and did exactly what I needed them to do!

Good quality. Easy to work with. Nice finish and appearance looks professional when installed.

I needed to replace a think piece of slate in an A/V cabinet to allow for airflow around electronic devices. The slate was thick and I was pondering ways of how I could mount something much thinner in the space. This item worked perfectly. I rough cut the metal with tin snips and then fine cut it with scissors so that it was centered and had enough tension/friction against the wood of the inner cabinet space that nothing else would be needed (pic 1 of 2). It doesn't budge, and looks good. It comes with a clear coat finish over it, but I also painted the outside black (pic 2 of 2) and that worked out well too using a "paint & primer in one" spray paint. I'm pleased with the results.

My design for a bar area had one major glitch: a huge air intake on the wall where I wanted to put the bar. My designer suggested terrible ideas like having a big gap between the bar and the wall. Not to be discouraged, I visited Pinterest and saw this suggestion, so I ordered the cabinets, and I ordered this metal sheet. My contractor made quick work of it, and I LOVE LOVE the result. I initially thought I'd spray paint the sheet, but it actually matched my wine fridge perfectly, so I kept it as is!
