Aluminium Unequal Angle 70 x 25 x 1.6 x 6.0 Metres

Aluminium Unequal Angle 70 x 25 x 1.6 x 6.0 Metres sits within our trade-focused aluminium unequal angle range at RHS Steel Supplies, stocked for structural, architectural and general construction use.

With unequal legs measuring 70 x 25mm and a wall thickness of 1.6mm, this angle is supplied in 6.0 metres lengths. The longer leg provides extra bearing or coverage, while the shorter leg keeps weight and visual bulk under control.

In everyday building and construction work, this aluminium unequal angle is commonly used for larger brackets, ledger supports, platform angles, industrial framing, plant platforms and heavy-duty trims where greater leg length and stiffness are required. It can be seen around openings, along parapets and fascias, under balconies and decks, and anywhere a clean, straight edge with extra reach is required.

Standard metric sizing makes it simple to include these angles in CAD libraries and BIM models. Designers can nominate them on drawings as off-the-shelf sections rather than calling for custom folded plate, which can help control cost and lead time.

Unlike untreated mild steel, mill-finished aluminium unequal angle will not flake with rust in damp environments. This means less maintenance over the life of the building, which is important for owners and facility managers.

Fabricators use unequal angles as part of welded frames, edge beams and support structures. Site crews use them as loose lintels over small openings, carrier angles for cladding or soffits, and as supports under plant platforms and walkways.

Where more complex assemblies are required, aluminium unequal angle can be TIG or MIG welded by skilled fabricators, forming part of frames, ladders, platforms or custom supports.

Because the two legs are different widths, the section is particularly useful where you want one face to pick up fixings or cladding, while the other face sits against a narrower support such as a stud, beam or edge of a slab.

Trades can work this angle using common tools such as drop saws, mitre saws and metal-cutting blades. It drills easily and can be fixed with bolts, Tek screws, rivets or structural adhesives depending on the substrate and loading.

Located in Revesby, we work closely with local builders, engineers and metal shops, arranging pick-up or delivery as required. Our team understands that unequal angles are often needed to solve specific details, so we aim to make the process as straightforward as possible.

RHS Steel Supplies stocks a dedicated range of mill finished aluminium unequal angles for the Sydney construction market, giving builders and fabricators fast access to the sections they need.

The light-gauge wall thickness keeps this unequal angle quick to cut and drill, making it ideal for jobs where it will not be heavily loaded but still needs to keep edges straight and protected. Being aluminium, the section is naturally resistant to rust and corrosion, making it well suited to coastal projects, external fascias, balcony edges, awnings and plant platforms exposed to the weather.

Unequal angles are often chosen where a traditional equal angle would either be too small on one leg or unnecessarily large on the other. This helps reduce weight and material cost while still giving you the coverage or stiffness you need.

Benefits for building and construction

• Unequal legs 70 x 25mm for extra coverage or support on one side
• Wall thickness 1.6mm matched to real-world site loads
• Corrosion-resistant aluminium for long life in exposed conditions
• Lighter and easier to handle than equivalent steel angles
• Ideal for larger brackets, ledger supports, platform angles, industrial framing, plant platforms and heavy-duty trims where greater leg length and stiffness are required
• Simple to cut, drill and fix with standard trade tools
• Works across residential, commercial and light industrial projects

Whether you are framing an opening, supporting cladding, building a platform or solving a tricky retrofit detail, Aluminium Unequal Angle 70 x 25 x 1.6 x 6.0 Metres is a practical, trade-friendly choice. It combines the corrosion resistance and light weight of aluminium with the useful geometry of an unequal angle, making it a valuable section to have available on any building or fabrication project.

Because mill finished aluminium unequal angle can be adapted so easily, many builders keep it on hand as a problem-solving product. When clashes appear on site or details change late in the program, a simple unequal angle can often be cut, drilled and fixed in place as a ledger, support or trim without delaying the job.

Using off-the-shelf aluminium sections instead of relying solely on custom folded plate also helps standardise details across projects. Angles, channels and flat bars can all be specified from the same material family, which simplifies both design and purchasing for construction teams who work with RHS Steel Supplies.
