Aluminium gets specified because it keeps weight down, resists corrosion and is straight-forward to fabricate. The decision that can slow things down is choosing the right grade, temper and thickness so the material behaves as expected once it’s cut, formed, welded or machined. This article focuses on three stocked lines that cover common requirements. For thin work up to 3mm, we supply aluminium sheet in 1050A in H14 or H24 temper. For thicker sections up to 50mm, we supply

When it comes to reliability, appearance and longevity, brass tube continues to be one of the most trusted materials for plumbing and heating systems. Contractors, engineers and specifiers alike recognise that brass offers the ideal balance of strength, corrosion resistance and ease of installation - making it a long-term performer in both domestic and commercial applications. The Benefits of Brass Tube Brass tube is made primarily from copper and zinc, combining the corrosio

When performance and reliability matter most, aluminium bronze is a material that delivers. At P&P Bornmore Metals, we stock two key grades - AB2 (CC333G) in hollow and round bar, and CA104 (CW307G) in round and hexagonal bar - both known for their strength, corrosion resistance and durability in tough environments. Why Aluminium Bronze Performs So Well Aluminium bronzes are copper-based alloys that include aluminium as the primary alloying element, often with nickel, iron or
