Product Information

Here at RS we offer our customers an extensive range of sheet metal manufactured from top quality materials. This range includes the likes of steel sheets; galvanised and stainless as well as other metals. Types of metal sheets? aluminium sheet metal with a 1050 grade and one-side coated is a versatile material that can be used in a wide range of applications. Its lightweight composition of only 10.83 kg per metre makes it ideal for use in transportation, aviation, and construction industries. Additionally, the one-side coated design offers an added layer of protection and durability. Speciality Metals is a reputable source for this type of material, offering high-quality products that meet industry standards. With its strength, durability, and versatility, 4mm aluminium sheet metal is a smart choice for any project that requires a sturdy and reliable material. Aluminium is renowned for its versatility, meaning it’s applied within various industries. For instance, aluminium is commonly used in the following ways:

High stress applications - 6082 aluminium is a medium strength structural alloy with excellent corrosion resistance, making it ideal in a range of more force-intensive applications such as T6 aerospace grade aluminium and alloys for automotive structures. Metal sheets are thin, flat pieces of material in a range of materials and forms suitable for use in a wide range of applications. Construction and fabrication industries are some of the most common uses for metal sheets along with a range of uses within the DIY and hobby space. The range of materials and forms available enable metal sheets to be used in industrial and everyday use products. Cranes, trusses, supports and lifting gear - lightweight materials used in the lifting industry (for example on extension forks, lifting booms, load plates, pipe cradles and support trusses) can help boost productivity and reduce energy costs, as well as making bulky items of lifting equipment and machinery far more portable for jobs in confined or difficult-to-access spaces. HVAC Ducts: In heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, aluminium sheet metal is used to fabricate ductwork. It is corrosion-resistant and maintains the integrity of airflow, contributing to the efficiency and durability of HVAC systems.Aluminium sheet can be cut easily, one of the reasons it is such a popular product. Aluminium sheets can be cut using a jigsaw, a guillotine, or even simply a sharp blade or pair of snips for particularly thin sheeting. Aluminium sheet metal is also highly suitable for drilling and other machine working. Yes, you can weld a 4mm 1050 grade aluminium sheet, but it’s important to keep a few things in mind. Panelling: Aluminium sheet metal is applied as wall and ceiling panels in interior and exterior building designs. It provides a sleek, modern appearance and is resistant to corrosion, making it a popular choice for both decorative and functional panelling. aluminium is a series 1000 aluminium alloy, also referred to as a pure aluminium alloy. These alloys are known for their high aluminium content (99% or more pure aluminium), which provides excellent corrosion resistance, good thermal and electrical conductivity, as well as high ductility but low strength.

Lamp reflectors - the superb reflective properties of aluminium sheet, in terms of both heat and light, make it an ideal product for use in a wide range of commercial or domestic aluminium reflector lamps and heat forwarding lamps.

Roofing: Aluminium sheet metal is used for roofing applications, particularly in residential and commercial settings. It is chosen for its lightweight properties, durability, and resistance to corrosion. Aluminium roofing can be painted or coated to enhance its aesthetics and reflectivity. Shelters - aluminium panels are widely used in the UK and elsewhere to construct lightweight yet durable covered shelters and outdoor walkways in public areas, workplaces and private homes. Balconies - aluminium balcony railings and balustrades are common, once again thanks to their lightweight but rigid construction and the fact that they’re highly weatherproof.

Aluminium sheet is also ductile. The density and low melting point mean that it can be easily bent or shaped to take on any form without hassle. 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. Anodised aluminium sheeting, for example, can provide both robust protection against corrosion and a more aesthetically pleasing outer face, while raw or unfinished sheets can be coated or protected in a variety of other ways once initial forming and fabrication is complete. Suitable for use with rivet and plate fixings as well as for welding purposes, aluminium plate is viewed as an especially user-friendly sheet metal, featuring high formability and being easy to cut to size for a diverse range of applications. Aircraft Skin: The exterior “skin” of an aircraft may also be made of aluminium sheets due to their ability to resist corrosion and withstand environmental exposure. Cable sheathings - metal sheathing for cable is commonly formed from aluminium foils and other extremely thin aluminium sheets, due to the fact that it’s relatively corrosion resistant (and is easy to make more so with various additional treatments), as well as showing impressive mechanical and electrical characteristics.Cookware: Aluminium sheet metal is employed in the manufacture of cookware and kitchen utensils. It conducts heat efficiently, ensuring even cooking, and is resistant to corrosion, making it a popular choice for pots, pans, and bakeware. Finally, it’s 100% recyclable and sustainable. Re-melting aluminium sheet requires very little energy throughout the recycling process. What is aluminium sheet typically used for?

The cold rolling process gives the surface of the Sheet Aluminium a lovely smooth and shiny finish, with a very slight visible grain. This excellent finish means that Aluminium Sheets are ideal for use as reflectors in lighting applications. A thin, easily removable PVC coating is then applied to the one face of the sheet. This protects the sheet from scratching during the cutting, transport and any fabrication processes. Plain – Plain sheet material is a smooth, flat and unmarked sheet of your chosen material suitable for a range of applications. For a more professional look, you can pay for laser or water jet cutting that can cut any shape out of your aluminium sheet with perfect accuracy (though you will have to provide a CAD file, or pay for one to be used by the machines). These grades are carefully selected to cater to different needs and ensure optimal performance in various settings.

4mm Aluminium Sheet Metal

Available in a range of forms, a metal sheet is a versatile material for fabrication, construction and general machining. Transportation: In the transportation industry, aluminium sheet metal is used for various applications, including the construction of vehicle bodies, trailers, and aerospace components. Its lightweight properties contribute to fuel efficiency, while its strength and resistance to corrosion are essential for ensuring the durability of transport equipment. Given their numerous unique and handy properties, aluminium sheet uses are almost too varied and widespread to provide an especially comprehensive list. However, in this section we’ll touch on some of the more common applications of aluminium panels and plates, found throughout a wide range of everyday industry, design and construction environments. Gutters: Aluminium sheet metal is commonly used in the construction of gutters for buildings. It is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and easily formed to create efficient gutter systems that channel rainwater away from roofs and foundations, preventing water damage. Awnings: Aluminium sheet metal is used to create awnings for doors, windows, and outdoor spaces. Awnings provide shade and weather protection, and aluminium's lightweight and malleable nature allows for versatile and durable awning designs.
