Aluminium Kick Plates

What is stucco aluminium sheet? Textured excellence Lightweight, versatile and resistant to corrosion, aluminium sheet has already got a lot going for it. Add in a “pebbled” finish and you’ve got a sheet metal that’s as aesthetically pleasing as it is practical. This is incredibly corrosive-resistant Grade 1050A alloy aluminium, and it’s been embossed with a textured pattern that gives it an attractive look. This finish diffuses light and stops it from reflecting off the surface of the metal, so you get all the strengths of aluminium, without the glare. As the surface is already dull, it ages far better than smooth aluminium. You might recognise the “orange peel” stucco pattern from travel trunks and vanity cases, and it’s also used extensively in interior décor.

How it's made: Aluminium is made when aluminium ore (bauxite) is mined from the earth and refined in a bath of lime and caustic soda. This allows the extraction of aluminium oxide, which is filtered, heated and combined with electricity and carbon to form liquid aluminium. The liquid aluminium is moulded into ingots then rolled out into sheets, which, in the case of stucco aluminium sheet, are then embossed with the ‘pebbly’ pattern. Benefits:

• Very strong
• Corrosion-resistant
• Non-reflective
• Recyclable

What our customers say about us: “Absolutely delighted with my purchase. Quality service, packaging and delivery, plus not forgetting what a fabulous price. More orders will most certainly be on the way.” – JohnnyBoy, Trustpilot, November 2016. Random fact: In space, astronauts wear gloves and socks made from fabric with aluminium added to it. As a strong insulator, the aluminium traps the heat within the body and helps to stop astronauts from feeling the extremely cold temperatures of space. It’s a similar idea to the plastic, soil-covered blankets that are often handed out to keep runners warm after they’ve finished a long race. Aluminised thermal clothing is now popular on earth as well as in space.
