What is Aluminium Sheet? The Lightweight One Ultra-ductile, rust resistant and super-light, our sheet aluminium is suitable for a multitude of uses. This nonmagnetic, widely recycled metal is perhaps most well-known for its role in drinks cans and other packaging. Thanks to its lightweight properties, though, it also aces aircraft engineering, luggage components, bicycles and auto parts. What’s more, aluminium is incredibly resistant to corrosion, making it a clever choice for windows, roofing and other construction jobs. Aluminium is easily identifiable by its bright, silvery sheen. Just like the other metals we sell, we can provide your sheet aluminium in exactly the size you need, meaning no excess product will go to waste. There’s no minimum order, too, so you can order as much or as little aluminium as you need. Thicknesses: 0.9mm, 1.2mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, and 6mm thick sheet. Good for: Packaging, drinks cans, foil sheets, cookware, home appliances, signage, storage tanks, trailers, welding, car panels, spacecraft, aerospace engineering, furniture, gutters, awnings, roofing, siding, luggage, bicycle components, ships, military vehicles, armour. How it's made: Get ready for a quick science lesson: the process of making aluminium sheet begins with bauxite, a soil-like substance that’s mined from underground. Clay is washed off the bauxite, which then goes through a grinding machine, before being plunged into a hot bath of caustic soda and lime. The caustic soda and lime refine the bauxite, extracting aluminium oxide. The aluminium oxide is filtered and heated, and by now takes the form of white powder. Next, electricity and carbon are combined with the aluminium oxide to create aluminium; an electrical current is passed between a negative carbon cathode and a positive carbon anode. The anode and the oxygen in the aluminium oxide react, producing carbon dioxide. This process creates liquid aluminium, which is moulded into ingots ready to be rolled out into aluminium sheets at the factory. Benefits:

Low density
Versatile
Corrosion-resistant
Recyclable

“Competitively priced. Helpful on the phone before online ordering. Cut to size for us. Promptly delivered. Can't ask for more!” – Mr N Smith, Trustpilot, September 2016. Random fact: The largest sculpture made of aluminium drinks cans was built in Abu Dhabi, UAE in 2012. Comprising 46,566 aluminium cans, the structure was a scale model of the city’s landmark, 200-year-old Al Maqta Fort. It was built on Al Taweelah beach by a team of 30 people, and it took six full days to create.

What our customers say about us

Trustpilot

Practical uses:

Galvanised steel is a versatile material with a wide range of applications, showcasing its durability and adaptability in numerous industries. From automotive components to roofing, inner and outer wall sheeting, sheds, and construction parts, galvanised steel proves its qualities. It also finds utility in making sturdy buckets, planters, wheelbarrows, and drainpipes, while its use extends to tubes, sections, and machine-building applications. The material's resilience makes it a preferred choice for domestic appliances, electrical goods, and agricultural machinery as well, demonstrating its ability to withstand the demands of both indoor and outdoor environments. It can also be painted to give it colour, but preparation is key and a specialist primer and metal paint should be used when doing so.

How it's made

The production process involves passing sheet steel through a bath of red-hot, molten zinc. This results in the formation of zinc oxide when oxygen reacts with pure zinc. The zinc oxide then reacts with carbon dioxide to produce zinc carbonate. This newly formed coating serves as the protective layer, shielding the steel from the weather. In the past, galvanised steel could be recognised by its distinctive star or spangle pattern, a result of the treatment process on the metal's surface. As contemporary tastes lean towards smoother surfaces over the years, the spangles have become invisible to the naked eye on our galvanised steel sheets. Random fact: The process of galvanisation is named after Luigi Galvani, the Italian chemist who discovered electromagnetism in 1781 during an experiment on frogs’ legs.

What is stucco aluminium sheet? Textured excellence Lightweight, versatile and resistant to corrosion, aluminium sheet has already got a lot going for it. Add in a “pebbled” finish and you’ve got a sheet metal that’s as aesthetically pleasing as it is practical. This is incredibly corrosive-resistant Grade 1050A alloy aluminium, and it’s been embossed with a textured pattern that gives it an attractive look. This finish diffuses light and stops it from reflecting off the surface of the metal, so you get all the strengths of aluminium, without the glare. As the surface is already dull, it ages far better than smooth aluminium. You might recognise the “orange peel” stucco pattern from travel trunks and vanity cases, and it’s also used extensively in interior décor. Available in a choice of two thicknesses (0.9mm and 1.2mm), our stucco aluminium sheet makes smart, stylish cladding and panelling, and is often used in modern kitchens and bathrooms. Just like all Buy Metal Online sheet metals, we’ll cut your stucco aluminium sheet down to size for free, meaning you get exactly the amount you need. And with no minimum order, no job is too small. Good for: Kitchens, bathrooms, splashbacks, luggage, panelling, cladding, roofing, construction, interior design, art, installations, displays, refrigeration, insulation, air conditioning. How it's made: Aluminium is made when aluminium ore (bauxite) is mined from the earth and refined in a bath of lime and caustic soda. This allows the extraction of aluminium oxide, which is filtered, heated and combined with electricity and carbon to form liquid aluminium. The liquid aluminium is moulded into ingots then rolled out into sheets, which, in the case of stucco aluminium sheet, are then embossed with the ‘pebbly’ pattern. Benefits:

Very strong
Corrosion-resistant
Non-reflective
Recyclable

What our customers say about us: “Absolutely delighted with my purchase. Quality service, packaging and delivery, plus not forgetting what a fabulous price. More orders will most certainly be on the way.” – JohnnyBoy, Trustpilot, November 2016. Random fact: In space, astronauts wear gloves and socks made from fabric with aluminium added to it. As a strong insulator, the aluminium traps the heat within the body and helps to stop astronauts from feeling the extremely cold temperatures of space. It’s a similar idea to the plastic, soil-covered blankets that are often handed out to keep runners warm after they’ve finished a long race. Aluminised thermal clothing is now popular on earth as well as in space.

What is copper metal sheet?

The conductor Instantly recognisable by its unique, orangey hue, copper sheet is a distinctive, malleable metal that’s up to hundreds of jobs. One of the basic chemical elements (CU in case you’ve forgotten your Periodic Table), it’s been popular for millennia. Our copper sheet plate comes in a range of thicknesses and we can cut it to size, supplying you with just the amount you need. Traditionally, copper’s long list of pluses have made it a firm favourite in industry and construction: after all, it’s soft, brilliant at conducting heat and electricity, resistant to corrosion, and even has antibacterial properties. More recently, though, the metal has come into high demand by architects and interior designers simply because it looks great. Whether you’re looking for form of function, there are limitless uses for copper sheet. UK based, we supply sheet metal to clients all over the country. When you buy copper sheet from us, there’s no minimum order. Just select the amount you need from the box above, or call us to take advantage of our free cutting service. How is it made? Copper ore is mined from deep underground, then taken away to be cleaned, crushed and milled. It then undergoes several chemical processes and put into an electro-refining tank for purification, before it is eventually melted down and cast into ingots, rods, or cakes. To make copper sheet, these chunks of copper are then rolled out flat. Benefits

Malleable
Conducts heat
Conducts electricity
Aesthetically stylish

Random fact: Apart from gold, copper is the only metal on the Periodic Table that isn’t silver or grey in colour.
