ELS Source — Specialist Material Sourcing
Find suitable specialist materials and components through ELS Source, which checks specifications and availability before ordering, subject to suitability and quotation.
ELS Source is a related specialist supply service. Suitable alternatives may be used if they meet the specification. Supply is subject to suitability and quotation. Using ELS Source is optional, and this page states no stock, price or lead time.
ELS Source is a separate site with its own terms, including who it quotes. Nothing is sent to it from this page. For ALUMAX products, ALUMAX remains the route.
Six answers before you enquire
- The problem it solves
- Specialist profiles, trims, channels and components that a standard product range does not supply can hold up a detail.
- Who it is for
- Contractors, trades and clients who already know the item they need, and ELS design clients whose specification names a specialist material.
- What is included
- Through its portal, ELS Source checks specification, compatibility, finish, quantity, availability and freight before ordering, subject to suitability and quotation. Availability is checked, not reserved.
- Separate or to be confirmed
- ELS Source runs its own catalogue, quotations and orders on its own site, under its own terms. Installation: as named in your quotation.
- How it relates to the other services
- ELS Source sources specialist materials as needed, by quotation. ELS Studio can name a specialist material in your specification, an ELS+ proposal can include it, and ALUMAX supplies and installs its own specified products.
