Anodized aluminium sheet 6mm proves to be a relatively thick piece in anodized sheets. A big share of its thickness falls on that of the base sheet, since the thickest anodized aluminium film does not exceed 125 micron (0.125mm) normally. High thickness enables the sheet to serve as weight-carrying panels in application, and furniture panels are among its typical uses.
Although an anodized film itself has a strong hardness, a sheet has to be stiff enough to withstand heavy weight. One way to enhance strength of the sheet is to increase its thickness. For example, a 6mm anodized aluminium sheet is less likely to bend than a 1mm sheet of the same alloy, temper and surface treatment methods. The second way is to choose harder raw material sheets like 3xxx, 5xxx, 6xxx and 7xxx. For furniture panels you should get at least those with a hardness of 5xxx and above, such as 5052, 5083, 6061, 7075 and so on. 5052 and 5083 belong to the Al-Mg alloy group, boasting light weight, good hardness and high corrosion resistance. Also known as marine grade aluminium, they are excellent raw materials for shipbuilding. 6061 and 7075 display better performances in both hardness and rust resistance, but there prices prove to be higher, too. Furniture panels made of anodized aluminium sheet 6mm of these alloys can carry regular weight of daily clothing, last long under natural conditions, and are free from damages of inspects or worms.
