Question 1

What exactly is the 8cm x 4cm x 6m aluminium hollow section with 1mm thickness used for?

Accepted Answer

It's a lightweight yet durable aluminium hollow profile with an 8 cm by 4 cm cross-section, 6 meters long, and 1 mm wall thickness. It’s designed for lightweight framing, supports, roofing edges, walls, and DIY construction projects where corrosion resistance and easy fabrication are beneficial.

Question 2

What are the core specifications I should know?

Accepted Answer

Core specs: material is aluminium, cross-section 8 cm × 4 cm, length 6 meters, wall thickness 1 mm. It’s corrosion-resistant, lightweight, easy to cut/shape, and suitable for outdoor use in various climates.

Question 3

How does the 1 mm thickness affect its strength and typical applications?

Accepted Answer

A 1 mm wall thickness provides adequate strength for light- to moderate-load structural framing and non-load-bearing applications. It’s great for frame work, light supports, temporary structures, and outdoor installations where weight savings matter. For heavy structural loads, thicker sections would be more appropriate.

Question 4

What are common use cases for this aluminium hollow section?

Accepted Answer

Common use cases include lightweight framing for shade structures, roof edge supports, wall and panel framing, window/door frames, DIY furniture frames, and general architectural or decorative framing where corrosion resistance and light weight are advantageous.

Question 5

How can I install or join this hollow section safely and effectively?

Accepted Answer

Cut with a fine-toothed metal saw or powered cutter suitable for aluminium. Deburr edges for a clean finish. Join with aluminium-compatible fasteners (self-tapping screws, rivets, or brackets) and consider corner gussets for added rigidity. Use protective gloves and eye protection during cutting and assembly.

Question 6

Is this aluminium hollow section suitable for outdoor projects?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Aluminium is naturally corrosion-resistant and performs well outdoors. For extreme or highly corrosive environments, consider additional protective coatings or coatings specified for outdoor architectural applications.

Question 7

How does this option compare to similar alternatives on Fepy.com?

Accepted Answer

Compared to an 8x4x6m aluminium hollow section with thinner or thicker walls, these trade-offs exist: thinner walls save weight and cost but offer less stiffness; thicker walls provide greater strength for higher loads.

Question 8

What other sizes or thickness options are available if I need different performance?

Accepted Answer

Fepy.com offers various cross-sections and thicknesses to suit different performance needs. Common variants include thinner sections (e.g., 0.8 mm) for lighter weight projects and thicker sections (e.g., 1.5 mm or 2 mm) for higher load capacity. Check the site for the exact size options and availability.

Question 9

What is the maintenance and cleaning approach for this aluminium hollow section?

Accepted Answer

Maintenance is minimal: wipe with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh, abrasive cleaners. If needed, mild detergents approved for aluminium can be used. Rinse and dry to prevent water spots or oxidation over time.

Question 10

What are the safety considerations and handling tips?

Accepted Answer

Handle with gloves to protect against sharp edges, especially after cutting. Wear eye protection when cutting or drilling. Ensure edges are deburred before installation and secure all connections with appropriate fasteners to avoid movement or loosening over time.
