Aluminium Sheets & Plates
Aluminium plate has many applications due to its strength and durability, and is ideal for use outdoors due to aluminium’s excellent corrosion resistance. It is commonly found as tread or kick plates in industrial sites or vehicles, as well as in car bodies, food packaging, roofs, gutters and awnings. Aluminium sheet metals come in a range of thicknesses and can be anodised, polished or finished in a number of different ways.
