Aluminium Equal Angle 12 x 12 x 1.6 x 6.0 Metres

Aluminium Equal Angle 12 x 12 x 1.6 x 6.0 Metres is a precision rolled aluminium equal angle designed for builders, shopfitters and fabricators who want a clean, accurate right angle every time.

With equal legs of 12 x 12mm and a wall thickness of 1.6mm, this section is supplied in 6.0 metres lengths, ready for cutting, drilling and installing on residential or commercial projects.

Equal legs mean the angle behaves the same no matter how it is rotated, simplifying setout and installation. This makes it easier for apprentices and subcontractors to get consistent results without constantly checking orientations or dimensions.

If you are unsure which size or thickness is best for a particular detail, our staff can talk through typical spans, fixing centres and use cases based on real-world experience, helping you choose a section that will work in practice, not just on paper.

The light-gauge wall thickness keeps this angle easy to cut and drill while still providing enough stiffness for everyday framing, trim and bracket work on site. Because it is aluminium, the section is naturally corrosion-resistant, which is a major advantage for coastal jobs, external framing, balconies, awnings and wet areas where mild steel would quickly start to rust.

Based in Revesby, we work with builders, fabricators and contractors across Sydney and surrounding regions. Our team understands construction timelines and can help coordinate collection or delivery so your aluminium angles arrive when you need them on site.

The clean mill finish looks professional straight off the rack and can be left as is in many applications. Where a specific colour or extra protection is required, the surface can be powder coated or painted to match window frames, cladding, balustrades or corporate colours.

Compared with mild steel angle, aluminium equal angle is significantly lighter, which makes a real difference when you are carrying material upstairs, lifting it into roof spaces or working from ladders and EWP platforms. Less weight means less fatigue and faster installation for the same amount of work.

Maintenance teams and facility managers also appreciate how easy it is to fabricate repair brackets, protect exposed corners or support small platforms using aluminium angle, especially where welding on heavy steel sections would be impractical.

Electricians and mechanical contractors often use equal angle sections as simple mounting rails for cable tray, ductwork and services. Shopfitters and joiners rely on it for framing counters, bulkheads, display units and signage details where a crisp right angle helps everything line up.

Because the section is so adaptable, many builders keep leftover pieces for future projects. Offcuts that might be waste with other products are often still large enough to become a useful bracket, packer or support on the next job.

From a design and specification point of view, aluminium equal angle is easy to document. Standard metric dimensions drop neatly into CAD blocks and BIM content, and its predictable performance allows engineers and designers to nominate simple fixing details without overcomplicating the drawing set.

For fabricators equipped with TIG or MIG welding gear, aluminium equal angle can be incorporated into frames, platforms and custom components in the workshop. Welded assemblies are still comparatively light, which can simplify lifting and installation on site.

Benefits on site

• Equal angle size: 12 x 12mm with 1.6mm wall thickness
• Corrosion-resistant aluminium for external and coastal projects
• Lighter to handle than comparable steel angle sections
• Suited to light framing, trimming, edging, small cleats and brackets, window and door reveals, shelving supports and general detail work
• Simple to cut, drill and fix with standard trade tools
• Works across residential, commercial and light industrial jobs

Whether you are laying out a new residential build, upgrading a commercial tenancy or solving a tricky retrofit detail, Aluminium Equal Angle 12 x 12 x 1.6 x 6.0 Metres is a smart, trade-friendly choice. It delivers the strength, corrosion resistance and clean appearance you would expect from quality aluminium, while remaining easy to cut, fix and adapt on site as conditions change.

Because aluminium equal angle is so adaptable, many builders treat it as a problem-solving material. When unexpected clashes arise on site, a simple angle section can often be turned into a custom bracket, packer or trim piece that resolves the issue quickly without waiting for new drawings or specialised fabrication. This flexibility helps keep projects moving and reduces downtime.

Keeping a consistent aluminium specification throughout a project can also make life easier for supervisors and contract administrators. When equal angles, channels and flat bars all come from the same supplier and alloy family, there are fewer surprises with finish, fit and performance. That is one of the reasons so many construction professionals in Sydney rely on RHS Steel Supplies for their aluminium sections.
