The supply materials, sized for a SKU.

The ALUMAX-supplied visible / key materials, broken into sourceable items with their standard sizes / formats and materials / finishes. Filter a supplier by the size and material, then confirm the one spec that pins the exact SKU.

These are standard planning specs, not products — no SKUs, brands or prices. ELS states no SKU; the buyer sources and verifies the exact product against the spec. Where a dimension depends on the chosen product it says “to the selected model”.

14 sourceable items — each with the sizes, formats and materials to source and verify against a supplier. No SKU: the buyer confirms the exact product against the spec.
