Anodised Aluminium, custom colours (1.6mm, 2.0mm, 3.0mm, 4.0mm, 5.0mm, 6.0mm sheet)
Premium architectural aluminium sheet with electrochemically formed protective oxide layer (10-25μm), providing exceptional corrosion resistance, UV stability and custom colour options. Non-combustible material suitable for all Australian climate zones and BAL ratings.
Premium architectural aluminium sheet with electrochemically formed protective oxide layer (10-25μm), providing exceptional corrosion resistance, UV stability and custom colour options. Non-combustible material suitable for all Australian climate zones and BAL ratings.
Anodised aluminium sheet features an integral protective oxide layer formed through electrochemical processing, creating a surface 60-65 Rockwell H hardness that provides superior durability compared to painted finishes. Available in thicknesses from 1.6mm to 6.0mm with custom colour options achieved through electrolytic colouring or organic dyes sealed within the anodic layer. The material combines the lightweight properties of aluminium (2700 kg/m³) with enhanced surface protection, making it ideal for architectural facades, cladding systems, and decorative applications across all Australian building types.
