Aluminum sheets for structural or architectural projects in the UK must meet BS EN standards. Specifically, BS EN 485-2 specifies mechanical properties, BS EN 573-3 covers chemical composition, and BS EN 485-4 outlines dimensional tolerances for cold-rolled sheets. Our materials are fully compliant with these standards and are supplied with EN 10204 3.1 Mill Test Certificates.
These magnesium-alloyed metals offer distinct advantages:
5083: Highest strength in the non-heat-treatable class, offering excellent performance in seawater and cryogenic environments. Frequently used in shipbuilding and offshore projects.
5754: Exceptional resistance to atmospheric corrosion with moderate strength. Ideal for industrial structures and vehicle panels.
5052: Highly versatile and formable, balancing strength, corrosion resistance, and workability. Perfect for fuel tanks and marine hardware.
To prevent surface damage, we offer customizable protective options:
• PE/Laser PE Film: Single or double-sided protection to prevent scratches during laser cutting and forming.
• Interleaving Paper: Prevents friction scratches between sheets during transport and handling.
We use modern chemical composition analysis and digital testing systems to verify each melt. Mechanical properties, including tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation, are checked for every batch, ensuring compliance with specifications before shipment.
Our standard production lead time is 20 to 30 days. Shipping to major UK ports like London Gateway, Felixstowe, or Liverpool typically takes 30 to 45 days. We support FOB, CIF, CFR, and DDP terms, providing clear shipping support to match your procurement preferences.
