Flexible. Responsive. Trusted
Aluminium is light, strong and corrosion-resistant. That's the easy bit.
The harder part is picking the right grade for the job. 1050 for general fabrication. 3103 for road transport panels. 5083 when the salt water won't let up. 6082 when you need to take the load. 6063 when the finish matters.
That's why we hold the range we do, and why our staff know what they're talking about.
The everyday workhorses. Stocked deep, sold fast, priced to keep your job moving.
Typical grades: 1050, 3003, 3103.
Used for general fabrication, road transport panels, cladding, signage and lightweight engineering.
