Do you have questions?
What are the benefits of aluminium over steel?
Aluminium is lighter, more corrosion-resistant, and easier to machine and fabricate, making it ideal for weight-sensitive applications.
Is aluminium suitable for marine environments?
Yes. Alloys like 5052 and 5083 are specifically engineered for seawater resistance and are widely used in marine structures.
Can aluminium be anodized for better surface finish?
Absolutely. Anodizing enhances corrosion resistance and provides an aesthetically pleasing finish suitable for architectural use.
Do you supply aluminium with custom cutting and packaging?
Yes. We offer precision cutting and export-grade packaging for all aluminium orders.
