What is the difference between coil and sheet?
Aluminium is one of the most versatile materials in the world and offers many benefits over other materials.
But a very common question we still receive is “What are the differences between aluminium sheets, plates, and coil?”
The difference of aluminum sheet and aluminum coil
Most people associate sheets, plates and aluminium coil with the same material, but they are made of different thicknesses and widths. Sheet is the thinnest product, marginally thicker than plate and the thickest being Aluminium Coil (also known as rolled sheet).
The Difference of Aluminum Coil and Aluminum Sheet
Like mentioned above, the differences between our stock products are thickness and size. We have three major types of product: sheets, plates, and coils. While they are all made from aluminium, the thickness varies between each one. Sheets are thinner than plates and plates a little thicker than coils.
If you’re wondering what the differences are between aluminium sheets and coil, there is only one key difference. Sheet is thicker than coil and can be up to twice as thick.
