FAQs

What sizes do aluminium sheets come in?
There are a wide variety of aluminium sheet, plate and foil sizes sold around the world. Generally speaking, any aluminium panel between about 0.2 mm to 6.5 mm thick is usually considered an aluminium sheet, whereas thinner gauge products than this would typically be classified and sold as foils. Thicker gauges than 6.5 mm (roughly a quarter of an inch) are most often referred to as aluminium plate.

The right choice for a given application will depend entirely on the degree of flexibility/rigidity required for the sheet to perform its intended function.
