Architecture & Construction

Plastic & Aluminium Materials for Building Projects Across Australia

Every construction project is different. The materials used for a shopfront, school, warehouse or apartment building all need to meet different requirements. Some projects need clear glazing, others require impact resistance, while many simply need a material that will stand up to years of outdoor use.

At Altius Polymers, we supply plastic sheets, engineering plastics and aluminium products used across residential, commercial and industrial construction throughout Australia. Whether you're working on a new build, a refurbishment or a custom architectural project, we can help you source materials that suit the application and your budget.

If you're still deciding between products, our team is always available to discuss your project and recommend a suitable option.

Materials

Materials Commonly Used in Construction

No single material is suitable for every building project. That's why we carry a wide range of products used throughout the construction industry. Each material offers different benefits depending on where it's being installed and how it's expected to perform.

Acrylic

A popular choice for glazing, partitions and feature panels where clarity, appearance and weather resistance matter.

Polycarbonate

Used for skylights, roof glazing and protective barriers where extra strength and impact resistance are required.

Aluminium Composite Material (ACM)

A lightweight panel commonly used for façades, wall cladding and commercial signage.

Solid Aluminium

Suitable for façade panels, flashings, brackets and other fabricated components exposed to outdoor conditions.

PETG

A practical material for partitions, protective screens and fabricated parts that require good impact resistance.

Foam PVC

Lightweight and easy to machine, making it suitable for interior wall panels, display boards and signage.

Corflute

Commonly used for temporary construction signage, site hoarding and safety information boards.

DesignBoard & Playboard

Durable HDPE panels designed for playgrounds, outdoor furniture and other weather-exposed applications.

Choosing the Right Material

Selecting the right material isn't always straightforward. Factors such as weather exposure, impact requirements, appearance, fabrication and budget can all influence the best choice.

When discussing your project, we'll usually consider:

- Whether the material will be used indoors or outdoors
- Exposure to sunlight and weather
- Impact and structural requirements
- Desired appearance and finish
- Machining or fabrication requirements
- Sheet size and thickness
- Budget and expected service life

If you're unsure which product is right, we're happy to explain the options and help you compare materials before placing an order.
