Description
This Aluminium Flat Bar 15.8mm x 12.7mm (5/8" x 1/2") is a heavy-gauge, multi-purpose metal strip designed for durability and precision in a variety of demanding applications. Manufactured from high-grade aluminium, it offers natural resistance to rust and oxidation, making it suitable for indoor or outdoor environments — from workshops to weather-exposed builds.
Its high strength-to-weight ratio makes it easy to handle yet tough enough to support framing, mechanical repairs, or creative fabrication. The plain finish provides a smooth surface ideal for welding, drilling, machining, or custom shaping.
