Stainless Steel Plate

Everything including the kitchen sink As the name suggests, this long-term favourite of the metal world is resistant to rusting, corrosion and (you guessed it) staining. It gained its title around the time it was invented, at the beginning of the 20th century. Back then, one of the most common uses for the metal was the production of cutlery, where hygiene was (and still is) obviously a must. These days, stainless steel is used for all manner of varying needs, but the name has stood the test of time (and it is still the most popular metal for making cutlery). Unlike the carbon steel (also known as mild steel) used as a basis for many metals, stainless steel has a minimum of 10.5% of chromium content by mass – and often contains up to 20%. Our stainless steel sheeting comes in a huge range of thicknesses to suit your project and we offer two types: 304 and 316 stainless steel. Prices are competitive and we have lots of options. Choose the size you need, or take advantage of our free cutting service and have it trimmed down to precisely the amount that’s right for you. There’s also a choice of two finishes: dull polished or mill finished. Mill finished steel doesn’t have the “brushed” effect that’s commonly associated with this type of metal. If that’s what you’re looking for, select dull polished stainless steel sheet from the box above; this metal has been specially treated to give it the fine-line, satin-textured pattern that can often be seen on jewellery, domestic appliances and watches. Good for: Industrial equipment, hardware, catering machinery and furniture, food processing, cookware, cutlery, crockery, household uses, surgical instruments, construction materials, tools, shipbuilding, manufacturing and many more. Brushed stainless steel plate (or dull-polished) is popular for household sockets, sink splash-backs and other stylish features. How it’s made: Steel is one of the most refined metals that can be taken from iron. It’s also 100% recyclable; experts reckon that in the future, the vast majority of the steel products we use will be manufactured from recycled steel items. Stainless steel is an alloy, which is a mixture of more than one metal. It is blended with at least 10.5% chromium (also known as chrome), which gives it tough protection against oxidisation (rust). What our customers say about us: “A great range of products.” –Marc, Trustpilot “Excellent advice followed by excellent service.” – Fiona, Trustpilot Random Fact: The record for the largest stainless steel cooking spoon was set in Marktoberdorf, Germany in 2006. Measuring in at a lengthy 10.01 metres, the spoon was manufactured by the Rösle GmbH & Co. KG.

What is aluminium chequered plate?

Safety first... Similar in appearance to steel chequer plate, diamond plate aluminium offers a non-slip surface where you need safety underfoot. More lightweight than steel tread plate, it can be easily secured to existing flooring, adding a layer of texture that’s got plenty of grip and reducing the risk of slipping. The distinctive 5-bar pattern on diamond plate makes it sought after not just for performance, but for style, too: our aluminium treadplate is often used in interior design and car modification, as well as in industry. It comes in three thicknesses and a wide choice of sizes. What’s more, our free cutting service means we can trim your diamond plate sheets down to precisely the amount you need, with no minimum order. If you’re looking for a sturdier, stand-alone diamond plate sheet, see our steel chequer plate. Good for: Van flooring, kick-plates, industrial-style decor, vehicle modification, stairways, walkways, lifts, factory floors, ramps, freezers, trench covers, walls and more. How it’s made: At the factory, aluminium is passed through two giant rollers, one which is smooth and one which is marked with a raised pattern, the well-known diamond or 5-bar, which gives this material its name. This process means that the metal sheets are embossed with diamonds or bars on one side and smooth and flat on the other, producing diamond plate aluminium that’s ready to be walked on. Benefits:
  • Easy to fit
  • Non-slip
  • Durable
  • Versatile
Random fact: In Japan in 2013, aluminium drinks cans were collected and carefully arranged to create a replica of Yoshida Castle, an impressive building which happened to be standing just beyond the recycled sculpture. The creation promoted the idea of recycling and achieved the world record for a structure made with the most aluminium cans.

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
What our customers say about us: “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.

For more size and thickness options, please contact our team on sales@buymetalonline.co.uk

What are Galvanised Flashings?

Sometimes referred to as metal roofing flashings, roof flashings, or edge trims, galvanised steel flashings are typically used to finish the ends and corners of roofing sheets to protect a building against water ingress. Galvanised flashings are specially designed metal strips that seal roof edges, corners, joints, and other vulnerable areas of a building. By sealing building ends and diverting water away from these critical points, metal flashings help prevent leaks, dampness, and weather-related damage. Made from galvanised steel, these flashings are coated with a layer of zinc that protects the metal beneath from rust and corrosion. This protective layer ensures long-lasting durability, even in harsh weather conditions.  Galvanised flashings are commonly used in roofing, cladding, and drainage systems, providing essential reinforcement to maintain the integrity of a structure. Whether for new builds or renovation projects, galvanised flashings are vital for maintaining the integrity of both residential and commercial properties.

Key Qualities of Galvanised Flashings

Our galvanised steel flashings are manufactured using high-quality materials to ensure reliable performance. These flashings are designed to offer durability, strength, and excellent resistance to environmental damage. Key features include:
  • • Corrosion Resistance: The zinc coating provides exceptional protection against rust, ensuring lasting durability even in outdoor conditions.
  • • Weatherproof Design: Designed to effectively seal roof edges and joints, galvanised flashings prevent leaks, water ingress, and moisture damage while protecting against wind, rain, and snow.
  • • Durable Construction: Built to withstand impact, pressure, and temperature fluctuations, ensuring continued performance in demanding conditions.
  • • Low Maintenance: Galvanised steel’s protective coating minimises the need for regular maintenance, saving time and effort.
  • • Aesthetic Appeal: Galvanised flashings provide a sleek, professional finish that enhances the appearance of any structure and complements modern roofing systems.

Benefits of Galvanised Flashings

Galvanised metal flashings offer numerous benefits, particularly for commercial and industrial projects where durability and long-term performance are essential:
  • • Enhanced Protection: Galvanised flashings provide a strong barrier against water leaks, dampness, and water ingress to protect the interior of buildings.
  • • Structural Integrity: Flashings provide additional strength and stability to roofing systems, ensuring they remain secure during high winds or heavy rain to prevent structural damage.
  • • Corrosion Resistance: Galvanised steel offers lasting protection against rust, making these flashings ideal for outdoor installations exposed to the elements.
  • • Cost-Effective Solution: With their impressive lifespan and low maintenance needs, galvanised flashings provide excellent value for money.
  • • Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of applications, including corrugated roofs, flat roofs, and metal roofing systems. 

Popular Uses for Galvanised Flashings

Thanks to their strength, durability, and versatility, galvanised metal flashings are widely used across various industries. Common applications include:
  • • Commercial Roofing Projects: Frequently used to protect factories, warehouses, and retail units from water ingress and weather damage.
  • • Roofing and Cladding: Used to protect homes, commercial buildings, stables, barns, and self-storage units.
  • • Single-Skin and Over-Clad Applications: Ideal for use as a single-skin roofing system, over-cladding on existing roofs, or as part of a built-up insulated system.
  • • Corrugated and Box Profile Sheets: Galvanised flashings are compatible with both corrugated and box profile roofing sheets, offering flexibility for various roofing and cladding designs.
  • • Agricultural Uses: Widely used in farm buildings, animal shelters, cold stores, and storage facilities, providing strong protection against the elements.
  • • Drainage Solutions: Often incorporated into guttering and drainage systems to improve water flow and prevent moisture damage.
  • • Residential Construction: Used to seal joints, roof edges, and around chimneys in houses, garages, and outbuildings.

aluminium stucco sheet metal

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.
