Buy aluminium sheets online from trusted UK stockists
The Metal Store is a leading aluminium sheet supplier, providing a wide range of high-quality, low-price products to UK businesses.
Also known as aluminium plate, our aluminium sheet is supplied in Grade 1050 with a blue/silver appearance and a reflective finish. One of the most popular grades available, Grade 1050 is ideal for general sheet metal work where moderate strength and a light weight are required. Our sheets are a "mill finish" this is a natural surface that is produced when the sheets are made. Our sheets are only poly coated on one side (to protect the finish) and the reverse may have scratches or scuffs, if you need a sheet to be coated on both sides, please contact us prior to placing an order.
Benefits of using aluminium sheet
Selecting the best and most appropriate material is vital for any project. So why should you choose aluminium sheet over other metals? To start with, it’s lightweight. Aluminium sheet is about a third of the weight of steel.
It’s also resistant to corrosion, which is a common issue for most metals when coming into contact with oxygen in the air. Aluminium is different as it naturally generates a protective oxide coating, making it highly corrosion resistant.
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.
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?
Aluminium sheet can be used in many industries. Its lightweight qualities make it ideal for car body repairs, aircraft engineering, kitchen splashbacks, sign making, model making and jewellery.
With corrosion resistant qualities, aluminium sheet is also ideal for windows, roofing and other construction jobs. It’s even impermeable and odourless which is why it’s often used for food and beverage packaging.

Frequently asked questions
What is aluminium sheet used for?
Aluminium sheet is used for a variety of applications due to its light weight, durability and resistance to corrosion. Common uses include aircraft components, vehicle panels, kitchenware, roofing, window frames and electrical appliances. Its malleability also makes it a popular choice for various fabrication and decorative purposes.
What grade is your aluminium sheet?
Our aluminium sheet is Grade 1050. It has a blue-silver look and a mill finish. While shinier in appearance and more reflective than mild and galvanised steel, it doesn’t naturally have a mirror-like finish. A more reflective appearance can be achieved with a polished or mirror finish.
Grade 1050 is a pure aluminium alloy, great for regular metal sheets when moderate strength and a light weight is required. It’s resistant to corrosion and highly conductive for electricity. This lends it to a range of applications such as cookware, chemical equipment, reflectors, signage, architectural elements, packaging materials and electrical conductors.
Can you cut the aluminium sheet?
Yes, you can either order the standard size – or get the exact size of aluminium sheet and plates using our free cutting service. We use a guillotine for all straight sheet cuts. Simply enter your cutting instructions on the basket page when asked.
