Aluminium sheet prices
hughpinder - 2/7/09 at 02:36 PM

Ok, just phoned the place I was going to buy my aly from - 1.2 mm 1050 was £18 3 months ago (1.25m*2.5m), now £30. Other sheets/grades seem to have increased by a factor of 1.6 to 2 times - is this the same everywhere?(why didn't I buy it all then... grrrrr)
So is it just this place or have prices really gone up that much. Can anyone reccomend a place closeish to Grimsby other than aalco(prices above) or elthringtons (were the same price as aalco,but prices increased by a factor of 3!)

£30 from parker steel too, so seems like the prices have gone up.

What sizes were you after? I've got 2 sheets in the garage I was going to use for size panels but changed my plans.
