Custom-cut to Order Delivery or Click & Collect
At Edcon Steel, we supply a comprehensive range of aluminium flat bar sizes to suit jobs large and small. All our aluminium flat bars are made from high-quality 6060 T5 alloy, a medium-strength, heat-treatable grade with good corrosion resistance and excellent weldability. We stock standard lengths and offer cut-to-size services on the spot, so you only buy what you need.
Aluminium flat bars are flat, solid strips of aluminium with a rectangular cross-section. They offer high strength for their weight, excellent corrosion resistance, and a clean, modern look.
Thanks to aluminium’s light weight and ductility, these bars are easy to work with; you can cut, drill, or shape them using basic tools, making them popular with both professional fabricators and DIY enthusiasts. The flat, uniform profile provides strength without bulk, and the material’s natural oxide layer means it is resistant to rust, even in outdoor conditions.
Our cut to size service means you only pay for what you’ll use, with no unnecessary offcuts. Whether you’re tackling a large construction job or a small home project, our aluminium range provides a durable, cost-effective solution.
With five convenient NSW locations in Brookvale, Revesby, Blacktown, Bathurst, and Orange, and Australia-wide delivery, Edcon Steel makes it easy for builders, tradies and DIY customers to get quality aluminium for any job.

Work Smarter with Edcon Steel
Measure and cut cleanly: For straight, professional-looking edges, use a fine-tooth blade on a mitre saw or metal drop saw. Mark your cuts clearly and clamp the bar securely to avoid chatter. Deburr edges after cutting for a smooth trim finish.
Fix with purpose: Depending on the surface, aluminium flat bar trim can be attached with countersunk screws, construction adhesive, or concealed brackets. For clean aesthetics, consider double-sided mounting tape for light-duty indoor trim.
Finishing matters: Aluminium comes in a mill (plain) finish but can be sanded, polished, or painted. For a brushed look, use fine-grit sandpaper in one direction. Clean thoroughly before applying any coatings to ensure adhesion.
Allow for expansion: In outdoor or large-panel applications, leave a small gap (1–2 mm) at joins or corners to allow for thermal expansion (especially important with long aluminium trim lengths). Use plastic or nylon spacers if fixing against dissimilar metals.
Check with a Professional: Our advice is general in nature. Always confirm your specific sizes, load-bearing requirements and compliance needs with a qualified engineer or builder, especially for structural applications. This ensures your project is safe and meets all regulations before you build.
Common Uses and Sectors: Aluminium Flat Bar
Aluminium flat bars are used across construction, industrial, and creative sectors thanks to their versatility. In building and construction, they often serve as load-spreading plates, bracing straps, or lintel bars in situations where a lightweight, rust-free material is beneficial. For residential and DIY projects, aluminium flats are popular for home renovations and furniture making (think support frames for benches, table tops, shelving brackets, window awnings, or even modern stair railings). The material’s ease of cutting and drilling means home users in Sydney and regional NSW (from Bathurst to Brookvale) can tackle projects with confidence, knowing the components are easy to fit.
In infrastructure and engineering, aluminium flat bars appear in everything from walkway gratings and safety barriers to component mounting plates and machine parts. They’re commonly used in manufacturing and fabrication workshops for jigs, brackets, and custom equipment parts.
The transport and marine industries also take advantage of 6060 alloy’s light weight and corrosion resistance – you’ll find aluminium flat bar in boat building (for trim and fixtures), trailer frames, toolboxes, and vehicle bodywork. Whether you’re a builder in Revesby, a farmer in Orange, or a DIY enthusiast working on a project in Blacktown, Edcon’s aluminium flat bars provide a reliable, easy-to-use solution. Plus, with our Australia-wide delivery, customers across NSW and beyond can get the aluminium supplies they need for any application, delivered straight to the workshop or job site.
