Aluminium has a very good weight to strength ratio and is used entensively in all fields of engineering

Aluminium is the most commonly occuring metal on the planet and is the most widely used metal after steel, it is none toxic and is used widely with food and pharmaceutical products. Aluminium is also a good reflector of light and this can be improved by having the aluminium sheet polished.
Metaloffcuts stock of plain aluminium sheet comprises mainly of alloy grade 1050. It is commercially pure aluminium and is resistant to chemical attack and weathering. It is easy to cold work and weld.

Grade 1050 is used extensively in general fabrication and for architectural products such as flashings, pressings, cills, soffits and cappings because of its ease of fabrication and excellant powder coating qualities.

Grade 1050 is also used to make canvases for artistic expression
