3mm Aluminium Sheet

We offer a wide selection of 3mm plate aluminium sheet metal online from trusted mills in the UK. Providing high-quality, low-priced aluminium sheet products to UK businesses and the general public, Speciality Metals is a leading aluminium metals supplier.

The 3mm aluminium sheet is a robust and reliable product, measuring a full 2 metres by 1 metre. Constructed from 1050 grade aluminium, this sheet is both lightweight and durable, making it ideal for a variety of applications. Its dimensions, 2000mm x 1000mm or 200 x 100cm, ensure ample coverage for larger projects or the flexibility to cut and adapt for multiple smaller tasks.

One of its standout features is a protective coating on one side. This added layer ensures that the sheet remains resilient against potential external damages or scratches, extending its lifespan and maintaining its premium finish over time. Despite its durability and size, the panel is fairly lightweight, weighing in at 16.23kg, which makes handling and installation relatively easy.

At a thickness of 3mm or approximately 1/8″, this aluminium sheet provides a balance of rigidity and malleability. This makes it suitable for tasks that require a sturdy material that can also be slightly manipulated without the risk of breakage.

We also offer 3mm aluminium sheet in smaller sizes, straight off the shelf.

Can Aluminium Sheet be used for Marine Applications?

Aluminium 1050 grade sheet is not suitable for marine applications. It lacks the necessary corrosion resistance and strength required to withstand the harsh conditions of saltwater and marine environments. For marine applications, it is best to use aluminium alloys specifically designed for such purposes, like 5052, 5083, or 5086, which offer superior corrosion resistance and higher strength properties to ensure longevity and performance in marine settings.

How do I Clean and Maintain Aluminium Sheet?

To clean and maintain aluminium sheets, start by using a mild detergent and water solution with a soft cloth or sponge to remove dirt and grime. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they can scratch or damage the surface. For tougher stains or residue, consider using a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for aluminium surfaces. After cleaning, thoroughly rinse the sheet with clean water and wipe it dry with a soft, lint-free cloth to prevent water spots. Regularly inspect the aluminium sheet for signs of corrosion or damage, especially in outdoor or harsh environments. If needed, apply a protective coating or wax to enhance its resistance to corrosion. Proper maintenance will help prolong the life and appearance of the aluminium sheet.

Can I Cut Aluminium Sheet to a Custom Size?

Yes, you can cut aluminium sheets to a custom size to fit your specific project requirements. Aluminium is a relatively soft and malleable metal, making it easy to cut using various tools. Common cutting methods for aluminium sheets include using power saws with carbide-tipped blades, manual hand saws or electric shears. Ensure that you take appropriate safety precautions and use the correct tools to achieve precise and clean cuts. Measure and mark the desired dimensions carefully before cutting to avoid wastage and ensure the sheet fits your intended application accurately.
