123v Aluminium Canopies

Aluminium canopies have been around for many years. 123v supply and fit a range of aluminium canopy designs. Our canopies for sale include freestanding and lean to carports. Different design structures may look similar, yet they are vastly different in both quality and strength. Aluminium is sold as a world commodity per ton, so building a canopy, carport or veranda using the incorrect strength of aluminium sections can lead to problems. All our special sections have been designed in house, many of which are registered at the patent office, 123v plc owns the tooling for their extrusion. This means that each section is to our specification, which controls the quality and allows us to use high strength, attractive sections for our products. This is not possible with standard shapes.

Aluminium Alloy Grades
There are many different grades of aluminium alloy available. The grades have different properties, due to their chemical make up and temper level. The strength, formability, weldability and finishings that can be used vary from grade to grade. The understanding of this is important so that the right aluminium is chosen. 123v plc primarily uses 6082T6 (BS1474) structural grade for its aluminium metal canopies and 6063T6 architectural grade on a couple of other applications.
