Aluminium Rectangular Box Section & Tubes
Aluminium rectangular section, also referred to as aluminium rectangular hollow section or rectangular tube, is a hollow extruded aluminium profile with a rectangular cross-section.
The profile is measured by its outer width, outer height, and wall thickness, with all dimensions listed in metric on the product page.
The material carries excellent corrosion resistance, does not rust, and performs well in outdoor environments and general fabrication. Aluminium rectangular box section is commonly used across numerous industries where a lightweight hollow profile with good strength is required.
Aluminium rectangular sections are supplied in mill finish as standard. Stock is held in our London warehouse, and orders can be placed online for fast UK delivery or collected via Click & Collect.

Powder coating is available on selected products. Contact the sales team to discuss finish options for your order.
Common Uses of Aluminium Rectangular Section
Aluminium rectangular box section is a popular choice across a wide variety of applications. The combination of low weight, strength, and high corrosion resistance of the material suits both indoor and outdoor use across fabrication, frame making, shelving, and general metalwork.
Common applications include frames, posts, supports, enclosures, shelving structures, signage frameworks, furniture components, and general fabrication work.
The hollow profile and rectangular cross-section also lend themselves well to display, framing, and general fabrication applications where a clean, extruded aluminium finish is part of the requirement.
Properties of Aluminium Rectangular Tube Section
Aluminium is a silver-coloured, low-density metal with moderate strength and excellent corrosion resistance. The material does not rust, which sets it apart from mild steel in outdoor and damp environments, and the natural oxide layer that forms on the surface adds further protection without any additional treatment required.
Aluminium rectangular sections are significantly lighter than steel equivalents, and that is why they're easier to handle. The material cuts and drills cleanly with standard metalworking tools and is well-suited to welding, so it fits across a wide variety of trade and DIY projects.
The extruded profile delivers consistent wall thicknesses and dimensions throughout the length, which is important for fabrication work where precision is part of the brief.
