The Aluminium Range We Work With
No two jobs call for the same material, which is why we keep a broad selection of aluminium profiles and forms on hand. Having the right stock ready means we can match the shape, gauge and finish to whatever your project needs, without unnecessary delays or compromises.
Our aluminium range includes:
- Square & Rectangle Hollow Sections (Radius & Square Edges)
- Flatbar, Sheet, Plate & Treadplates
- Angle & Perforated Mesh
- Louvres
From structural framing through to decorative detailing, each profile lends itself to different applications around the home, worksite or commercial premises. If you're unsure which option suits your build, our team is happy to talk through the choices and point you towards the most practical fit for the job.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main advantages of aluminium fabrication?
Aluminium is lightweight, corrosion-resistant and highly durable, making it ideal for projects exposed to moisture or weather. It’s also easy to shape and weld, allowing for detailed designs and custom builds. Aluminium’s strength-to-weight ratio makes it popular in construction, transport and marine applications where efficiency and longevity are priorities.
Can aluminium be welded easily?
Yes, aluminium can be welded using specific techniques, such as TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding and laser welding, both of which allow for clean, strong joins. However, it requires experienced welders familiar with aluminium's lower melting point and unique thermal properties to ensure precision and avoid distortion during the process.
How does aluminium compare to steel in fabrication?
While both materials are durable, aluminium is significantly lighter and more resistant to corrosion, making it ideal for outdoor or marine use. Steel, on the other hand, offers higher tensile strength and is better suited for heavy structural applications. The choice depends on project requirements, environmental exposure and desired appearance.
Can laser welding be used on thin aluminium?
Yes, laser welding is particularly well suited to thin aluminium. The focused beam delivers heat to a very small area, which limits how much spreads into the surrounding metal. This reduces the risk of warping, burn-through and distortion that thinner sections are prone to with other welding methods. The result is a clean, precise join that holds its strength without damaging the surrounding material. This makes laser welding a reliable choice for delicate components, intricate designs and detailed work where accuracy is essential and the finished appearance matters as much as the structural integrity.
