Every industry has its nuances, and in the world of metal fabrication, the efficient use and management of resources is a crucial aspect. This is especially true in the UK metals market as it is so competitive.
At Speciality Metals, we’ve meticulously streamlined our processes, ensuring that every piece of aluminium sheet metal finds its rightful place, whether in grand industrial projects or as a treasured piece for a small-scale craftsman.
This article aims to give a simple outline of our policy of handling our spare pieces, and how you can benefit by looking at our clearance listing to potentially find the sheet metal to suit your project.
Let’s go…
While our large industrial projects take precedence, the process often leads to small pieces left over after we make precision cuts on our guillotine.
These remnants, while smaller in size, uphold the same quality and finish as their larger counterparts. Instead of considering them as mere ‘leftovers,’ we see them as opportunities – opportunities for hobbyists, DIY enthusiasts, and even small-scale industries.
We neaten them up, count what we have and make them available through our online stores. What we have available is consequently constantly naturally evolving.
First, let’s discuss the myriad benefits of the sheet thicknesses that we generally have available.
Aluminum sheet metal, due to its versatile nature, is utilised across a spectrum of applications.
Its strength, malleability, and resistance make it a prime choice for various projects. At Speciality Metals, we recognise the nuanced requirements of different tasks and, thus, offer a range of thicknesses to cater to varied needs.
Let’s delve into the specifics of each thickness and its potential applications.
This ultra-thin sheet is perfect for intricate detailing. It’s lightweight and easy to manipulate, making it a favorite for craft projects, model-making, and decorative finishes.
A slight step up, this thickness is often used for splashbacks in kitchens, intricate jewellery designs, or light fixtures that require a blend of strength and finesse.
Ideal for detailed panel work or decorative arts that need a bit more rigidity. Its applications can also span to light structural projects, like vent covers.
At this thickness, we’re looking at more structural integrity. Think of items like toolboxes, trays, and general hardware components.
This is a go-to for many automotive applications. Door panels, exterior cladding, or even lightweight furniture benefit from this thickness.
The middle ground of thickness. It’s robust enough for parts of machinery, heavier-duty toolboxes, and some aspects of architectural detailing.
This is where we start venturing into more substantial applications. It’s excellent for support structures in buildings, industrial shelving, and robust containers.
With added weight and strength, it’s used in load-bearing structures, industrial equipment, and is also a popular choice for protective barriers and fencing.
Heavy-duty machinery, structural components of large installations, and certain automotive parts (like chassis components) utilise this thickness.
We’re talking about structural integrity at its finest. Building facades, bridge components, and heavy machinery housing often employ this thickness.
Predominantly used in industrial settings, it’s ideal for platforms, large containers, and heavy-duty equipment components.
The thickest in our offering, this is reserved for the heaviest of applications. Think of industrial flooring, structural beams, and heavy machinery bases.
In essence, the thickness of aluminium sheet metal determines its application. Whether you’re crafting a delicate piece of art or building an industrial machine, Speciality Metals has the perfect aluminium sheet for you.
Depending on its properties, each thickness aligns with specific tasks, ensuring optimal performance. Check out our detailed offerings and find the perfect match for your next project.
