Q: What’s the difference between a welder and a metal fabricator?

• <div><p>Welding is the process of using extreme heat&mdash;and, sometimes, pressure&mdash;to attach two pieces of metal. In contrast, metal fabrication is a more involved process that can include welding, sheet metal work, bending, and other forms of metal manipulation. Metal fabrication is a large-scale project that may or may not involve welding, while welding is more often a step in larger fabrication projects.</p></div>

Q: What is the strongest material for window screens?

• <div><p>Pet-resistant, vinyl-coated polyester is one of the strongest window screen materials available, with some manufacturers touting a 7x increase in strength compared to standard fiberglass screens. Stainless steel security screens are also extremely strong, but they&rsquo;re not suitable for coastal areas due to the risk of corrosion from salty sea air. If sea air isn&rsquo;t a concern, stainless steel is extremely tough.</p></div>

Q: Can I build a metal carport myself?

• <div><p>DIY is possible with prefabricated kits. Professional services ensure proper anchoring and durability.</p></div>

Q: How long does it typically take to repair sheet metal?

• <div><p>Repairs can typically be completed within a few hours, though larger projects requiring multiple layers or precise shaping may take longer.</p></div>
