Aluminium Tube
Aluminium tubing is a hollow pipe made from aluminium and is widely used in the construction of kitchen appliances, furniture and other household items. Because of their high strength-to-weight ratio, conduction properties and the fact that aluminium is anti-corrosive, aluminium tube is extremely popular for use in construction for a plethora of applications.
Aluminium tube sizes vary widely as it is available in round, rectangular, square hollow, and telescopic shapes. Not only does the aluminium tubing that we supply come in various shapes but also a wide selection of sizes, from 16 mm, 25 mm to 50 mm aluminium tubes, but also in a selection of thicknesses.

Aluminium tube has the great qualities of being lightweight, corrosion-resistant and malleable, which enables them to be employed for a vast range of applications across many different industries. They are widely used in the automotive, aerospace and marine industries as well as for construction.
It is one of the most common aluminium extrusions and is used in countless everyday applications such as kitchen appliances, furniture, and other household items.
What are the benefits of using aluminium tubes?
Aluminium tubes of every shape are incredibly durable and have limitless uses. It is an environmentally friendly material that is resistant to corrosion and highly conductive whilst being lightweight and economic. Their strength-to-weight ratio makes them perfect for a lot of applications, and their excellent resistance to corrosion means little to no ongoing replacement costs. When used as packaging, it is incredibly airtight and impermeable. Aluminium tubes are flexible and lightweight yet incredibly strong, making them more than suitable for any application.
What’s the difference between an aluminium tube and pipe?
The main difference between an aluminium tube and pipe is the shape. Whilst they are both hollow extrusions, tubes can be square, round, or rectangular, whereas pipes are only ever round. This is because the applications of aluminium pipes require even pressure distribution which is only accommodated from round shapes. As well as this, aluminium tubes can be telescopic, whereas pipes cannot.
