Metal Suppliers for Construction: Our Materials
Here are some of the materials that Colt Materials Solutions stock and supply for the construction sector:
Aluminium in Construction
Aluminium is one of the most widely used metals in modern construction due to its exceptional combination of strength, light weight, and corrosion resistance. Aluminium naturally has a protective oxide layer that keeps it from rusting and is therefore suitable for environments exposed to moisture, weather and pollution. It is also a highly malleable material for designing complex shapes and components is achievable and ideal for architectural features. The grades we stock include 6082, 5083, 2014 and 2011.
Common Uses in Construction:
- Windows and doors: Aluminium frames are durable, lightweight, and energy-efficient.
- Curtain wall systems: Modern high-rise buildings frequently use aluminium for façade systems due to its strength-to-weight ratio.
- Roofing and cladding: Aluminium panels provide weather resistance and design flexibility.
- Structural components: Used in some bridges and load-bearing structures where low weight is essential.
- HVAC systems: Aluminium is widely used in ductwork and heat exchangers.

Stainless Steel in Construction
Valued for its high corrosion resistance, strength and sleek appearance in architectural design, stainless steel is a popular choice of material in this sector. Its chromium content provides it with a protective surface that is similar to aluminium
Common Uses in Construction:
- Structural supports: Stainless steel beams, columns, and reinforcements in buildings requiring high corrosion resistance.
- Architectural features: Handrails, balustrades, façades, and exterior detailing due to its polished aesthetic.
- Bridges and infrastructure: Ideal for harsh environments, such as coastal regions or industrial zones.
- Water systems: Used extensively in pipes, tanks, and fittings because it resists corrosion and contamination.
- Commercial kitchens & hygienic environments: Essential in hospitals, food processing plants, and laboratories.

Cast Iron in Construction
Known for its exceptional strength and resistance to deformation, this heavy, stable material has been used in construction for centuries and remains a reliable metal for structural applications. We stock the grades: Unibar 200, 250, 300, and 400-18LT
Common Uses in Construction:
- Pipes and drainage systems: Cast iron pipes are resistant to abrasion and offer excellent sound-dampening qualities.
- Manhole covers and street infrastructure: Their weight and strength make them ideal for roadways and public utility access points.
- Columns and building supports: Historically used in industrial buildings; still used in restoration and heritage projects.
- Hardware and fittings: Includes items such as brackets, grates, and ornamental ironwork.
- Foundations and base plates: Heavy-duty cast iron components help distribute loads effectively.
