Copper & Metal Components for the Construction Industry
Copper, aluminium and precision metal components supplied for construction, building services and specialist engineering applications.
Construction Metal Supply and Components
Contractors and building services teams turn to ILF Products for copper and aluminium that perform in demanding technical settings. Our range covers copper and aluminium busbars, copper wire, rolled copper, copper extrusions, aluminium extrusions, machined components and finishing services.
On site, the right material must balance conductivity, durability, corrosion resistance, strength and ease of installation. As a UK manufacturer and stockholder of copper for construction, ILF backs practical material advice with its own manufacturing capability, so you get both the metal and the finished component from one supplier.
What Metals are Used in Construction?
Function and environment decide the metal. Each part of a building asks something different of it. To find out more about the materials of construction, visit the HSE.
Copper earns its place where conductivity, durability and corrosion resistance are essential, for instance in electrical infrastructure and roofing. Aluminium suits areas that need low weight and design flexibility. In addition, brass, bronze and stainless steel serve specialist fittings, machined parts, architectural details and engineered components.
