Aluminium Round Tubes - High-Precision Hollow Profiles

These professional-grade aluminium round tubes are a staple for high-precision modelling, structural engineering, and technical prototyping. Sourced for their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and clean aesthetic, these hollow profiles are available in an extensive range of diameters and wall thicknesses. Larger diameter tubes (over 10mm) are often manufactured from Al Mg Si 0.5, a hardenable alloy specifically suited for construction and structural applications.

Applications:

• Architectural Model Making: The definitive choice for representing structural columns, modern pipework, and sleek facade frameworks. Thin-walled tubes with small diameters are perfect for intricate detailing, while larger sections provide robust primary supports for large-scale site models.
• Prototyping & Industrial Design: Ideal for constructing lightweight frames, telescoping mechanisms, and bespoke mechanical components. These tubes can also serving as precise spacers or stand-offs for mounting signage and display panels.
• Film & TV Prop Making: Extensively used for building lightweight "hero" props, scientific instrumentation, and futuristic set pieces. The materials low mass makes it easy for performers to handle large props, while the metallic finish provides a professional on-camera look.
• Interior & Exhibition Design: Frequently utilised for constructing lightweight furniture prototypes, hanging rail systems, and decorative interior details where a modern metallic finish is required.
