Common Aluminium Sheet Grades
1050
Commercially Pure Aluminium
A popular choice for general sheet metal work, where good formability and corrosion resistance are important. Suitable for panels, decorative work and applications that require straightforward forming.
5251
Aluminium Magnesium Alloy
Offers greater strength than 1050 aluminium alongside good corrosion resistance. Often selected for fabricated components, vehicle bodywork and applications requiring improved mechanical performance.

What is Aluminium Plain Sheet Used For?
Aluminium sheet is a popular material across transport, manufacturing and general fabrication because it offers low weight, corrosion resistance and flexibility for cutting and forming.

Road Transport
Used for body panels, side panels, toolboxes, cladding, protective covers, bulkheads and specialist fabricated vehicle components.

Construction
Used for flashings, trims, cladding, protective covers and architectural finishing. It's durable, easy to fabricate and has resistance to corrosion.

Manufacturing
Regularly used in manufacturing for machine guards, equipment covers, protective enclosures and formed components. We can cut, fold and fabricate into bespoke parts.

Agricultural
Suitable for machinery guards, trailer panels, covers and protective cladding. Its corrosion resistance makes it suitable for equipment in outdoor environments.

Signage
Aluminium plain sheet is a popular material for sign blanks, display panels, back plates and mounting components. Its smooth surface and low weight makes it suitable for signage.

Architectural
Within architectural applications, aluminium sheet is used for decorative feature panels, cladding, trims, wall coverings and bespoke design elements.

Engineering
Aluminium is widely used in engineering for fabricated components, equipment enclosures, protective covers and custom-made parts.
Common questions
What sizes of aluminium sheet do you supply?
Can I order aluminium sheet cut to size?
Do you stock every size listed?
Our most common sizes are 2500 x 1250 or 1500mm. However, we can source aluminium sheet in a range of thicknesses and dimensions. Availability depends on the grade and finish.
What is the difference between 1050 and 5251 aluminium sheet?
Yes. We offer a cutting service and can discuss cut-to-length requirements for your aluminium sheet requirements. Please confirm your lengths, quantity and any required tolerances when enquiring.
Can aluminium sheet be folded or welded?
No. Some of our sizes may need to be sourced from within the group. We'll confirm current availability, pricing and delivery lead time based on your requirements.
Can you powder coat aluminium sheet?
1050 is a commercially pure aluminium grade commonly chosen for its formability. 5251 is an aluminium-magnesium alloy offering higher strength and good corrosion resistance. The appropriate grade depends on the application, forming requirements and specification.
Many aluminium sheet grades can be folded or welded when the correct material and process are selected. JB Components offers fabrication services including folding and welding. Please send your enquiries for a quotation.
Yes, aluminium can be powder coated and we offer that service within the group. A MOQ might apply dependent on the colour and finish you require.
What protective films can you provide?
We offer two main protective films.
Laser film is applied to one face when the sheets need to be processed by for lasering.
A polycoated film is applied when the customer wants more protection from surface scratches, or if the sheet needs any fabrication work carried out e.g. Press Brake.
What finishes do you offer for your aluminium sheets?
We offer a variety of different finishes on our aluminium sheets.
We can offer anodising, powder coated, laser film, poly-coated or brushed.
