Perforated aluminium sheets

A perforated sheet or plate aluminium is also used in scenarios where it’s chosen chiefly for its aesthetic qualities - this is particularly common in interior/exterior design work, for example in constructing many kinds of floors, ceilings, screens, sun shades and other architectural or decorative panels. Other typical applications might include the food industry, factory or laboratory environments, where it’s widely found performing sluicing, drainage and collection roles in industrial washing and drying stations.

Chequered aluminium sheets

Aluminium chequered plates are panels of sheet metal that have raised hatch marks on one side (the reverse side is untextured), forming a raised pattern that’s usually embossed to a height of around 1.5mm. Known variously as checker plates, tread plates, 5 bar sheets or durbar floor plates, they’re most often made from aluminium, although steel versions are also sold.

They’re relatively thick and sturdy sheets for improved impact resistance and load-bearing properties, ideally suited to use interior or exterior areas of high footfall and heavy wheeled traffic, such as service corridors, loading bays and car parks. The embossed pattern conceals surface damage and also provides additional grip against slips and skids.

Anodised aluminium sheets

Anodising is an electrochemical process used to increase the thickness of the oxide layer on a metal’s surface. Aluminium anodised sheets not only increase resistance to corrosion and wear (once a sealant has been applied to combat the porous qualities of heavily anodised metal), but it can also prime the plates for better adhesion of paint, dyes, films, glues and other cosmetic flourishes than bare metal offers.

As a result, anodised metals are commonly represented by highly coloured aluminium sheets or other decorative panels, such as those widely used in vehicle parts, smartphones, tools, cookware, sporting goods and architectural materials.

Composite aluminium sheets

Aluminium composite sheets or panels, frequently abbreviated to ACS or ACP, are manufactured from two very thin pieces of coil-coated aluminium bonded to the outside of a non-aluminium core (often plastic). They’re commonly used as lightweight but robust panels for external cladding or building facades, as well as in a wide range of insulation and folding panel applications.

Aluminium composite panel sheets, sometimes called sandwich panels or dibond sheets, are much lighter than solid metal equivalents. This makes them far easier to install and maintain in day-to-day use, and they’re generally much easier to machine, cut and shape neatly using simple tools. As such, they’re an excellent choice for weatherproof signage and sign trays (especially where more intricate design work such as decorative lettering is required), as well as for fascia panels, column cladding and other exterior decorative elements.

Brushed aluminium sheets

Many different types of aluminium sheeting are available in either brushed or unbrushed variants, including anodised and composite panels. ‘Brushed’ in this context refers to a fairly uniform pattern of light parallel scratches and scuffs, deliberately introduced across the surface of a metal sheet to impart a satin-like finish. The effect is widely seen on all manner of internal fixtures and fittings.

Opting to buy brushed aluminium sheet is often a primarily aesthetic decision - the brushed look is hugely popular worldwide as a stylistic flourish that dulls the reflective qualities of otherwise polished surfaces. Although brushing is, in fact, the result of additional secondary processing that results in a satin finish, as a design element it can (somewhat counterintuitively!) help to give a raw or unprocessed ‘industrial’ look. It’s often used to highlighting the fact that certain objects or panels are made from metal, in contrast with areas made from other materials.
