There are many uses for aluminium from DIY projects to industrial scale projects. Here are some uses of aluminium in everyday activity: transport parts and exterior, building and construction, heating and electrical appliances, household appliances, consumer products, food containers, window and door frames, baking foil, indoor and outdoor decorative ornaments and much more.
Aluminium 1050 grade sheet plates is an aluminium product we sell and have expert knowledge on. In terms of its uses, aluminium sheeting is great for using for indoor or outdoor building projects, roofing panels, signage, floor and wall protection, shelving, storage cabinets and much more.
Another form of aluminium we specialise in is aluminium checker sheets, also known as aluminium chequer. This is essentially 1050 grade aluminium sheets with a distinctive 5 Bar raised tread that allows a non-slip surface.
Aluminium checker can be used in a variety of ways as it has lots of advantages for example it can bring safety and protection to any workplace or an interesting look to a room with its attractive appearance. Some uses of aluminium checker are:
Furthermore, perforated sheet metal is also another form of aluminium that we offer.
Perforated aluminium plate is 1050 grade aluminium metal sheet that has had holes punched out by an industrial machine. These punctured holes can come in range of different shapes and sizes. We offer perforated mesh holes in round and square holes in aluminium although we also supply hexagon shape perforated mesh but in different metals.
Additionally, aluminium perforated mesh also has lots of uses that are beneficial to many industries and even DIY projects. Because of the punched holes, this feature makes perforated mesh great for using in a range of applications.
Perforated mesh made from aluminium also brings many benefits to any project as it has a lot of features. Some features are:
Wind resistance – because of the holes in the perforated mesh, this allows air to pass through however this also causes wind resistance as the air flow is mostly limited.
Great ventilation – as perforated mesh allows air to pass through, this also means that it supports a great ventilation system and are commonly used as grills on vehicles or on the exterior of buildings.
Strong structure – aluminium is a strong, durable metal. It also has many assets such as it’s resistant to corrosion, heat and chemicals and it’s weatherproof. This means it’s suitable for outdoor projects and it will last a long time even in extreme environments.
Noise reduction – perforated mesh has great sound insulation, you can easily install it on a wall or a ceiling to reduce sound from coming through. Like aluminium chequer, it’s also great for wall cladding.
Attractive appearance – there are many types of perforated mesh all with a different appearance. It’s often used as interior and exterior architecture as it can have an appealing look.
All of our aluminium sheeting plates, including aluminium chequer and perforated, come in 500mm x 1000mm size panels. We then guillotine them down to smaller size sheets to suit all requirements.
We cut down our sheet metal using our ultra-powerful industrial guillotine and then we de-burr the edges where possible.
The large panels are sent on pallets before slitting them down to 500mm x 1000mm or smaller on our industrial guillotine.
Our cutting service protocols are to be rapid, fuss-free and to accommodate to any request no matter how big or small.
Our industrial machine allows us to cut aluminium sheeting down to any size you require and we have no minimum order requirement so if you are looking to buy metal in small amounts then we are the place for you.
1050 is the grade of aluminium that we supply, there are many other grades of aluminium however we only stock 1050 grade we believe it’s the most beneficial, high quality and versatile form of aluminium to use. Some features of 1050 grade aluminium are:
1050 grade aluminium also comes with one side of the sheet with a protective coating which helps prevent oxidisation and protects it from marking when scratched.
