Structural and heavier-duty plate for load-bearing applications.

Aluminium plate steps in when sheet isn't thick enough to do the job.

Structural fabrications. Tooling. Marine hulls. Heavy-duty cladding. Whatever your application, the grade matters as much as the thickness.

We hold the plate grades you need to take the load.

Grades held in stock

5083 (marine-approved 5 series)

The marine grade for plate as well as sheet. Outstanding resistance to seawater. Used for boat hulls, marine structures and corrosive environments.

6082 (heat-treatable 6 series)

Harder, stronger and corrosion resistant. The default for structural engineering, load-bearing fabrications and heavy-duty applications.

Other grades available to order
