Aluminium Sheet, Plates, Bars, Tubes & Angles – Cut To Size

Here at 1st Choice Metals, we’re the first place to go to when buying quality metals. We stock a large range of aluminium products which we cut to size for the user.

The items that we sell are split into two manufacturing types; rolled products and extruded products.

Rolled Products

These are the Aluminium sheet & Plates. We stock Aluminium Plain sheet in a variety of thicknesses; 1mm, 1.2mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm & 6mm.

The thinner sheets, 1mm up to and including 4mm thick are stocked in grade 1050H14, whilst the 5mm & 6mm thick sheets are supplied in grade 6082T6.

Extruded Products

This covers the remainder of the Aluminium products that we sell – otherwise known as Aluminium sections.

One of the main advantages of extruded products, especially when it comes to tubular / hollow Aluminium sections, is that they are truly seamless, and therefore no weld marks are visible inside or out.

The extruded aluminium products that we stock are as follows;

• Aluminium Round Bar 3/16″ diameter up to 16″ dia
• Aluminium Flat Bar 3/8″ x 3/16″ up to 6″ x 2.1/2″ – and dozens of sizes in-between!
• Aluminium Square Bar 3/8″ square up to 5″ square
• Aluminium Square Tube 1/2″ x 1/2″ up to 4″ x 4″
• Aluminium Rectangular Tube 1″ x 1/2″ up to 4″ x 2″
• Aluminium Round Tube 5/16″ outside diameter up to 6.1/2″
• Aluminium Channel 3/8″ x 3/8″ up to 4″ x 2″
• Aluminium Equal Angle 1/2″ x 1/2″ up to 4″ x 4″
• Aluminium Unequal Angle 3/4″ x 1/2″ up to 4″ x 3″

Each of the extrusions that we list can be purchased in up to 30 different lengths. You can then use our handy free cutting tool to request that we cut your item down to an exact size prior to despatch.

Unless otherwise stated, all of the Aluminium offered on this website is in ‘mill finish’ which means that the items have not been polished, treated, painted, anodised or finished in any way. Should you require any of the above services then please contact us for a quotation.

As a local supplier, the Aluminium sections listed on this site are common sizes that are constantly kept in stock, ready for same day / next day dispatch.

Whilst this range is relatively comprehensive it is not infinite, and doesn’t cover all sizes that we may have on the shelf at any given time.

Also, via our network of trusted suppliers we can obtain many other sizes that are not currently on the shelf within 24 – 48 hours.

Therefore should you have a requirement for an item that is not currently shown, then please contact us for a competitive quote.
