Description
This premium high strength carbon fibre sheet is engineered for structural and performance-critical applications where low weight and high rigidity are essential. Manufactured from multiple layers of carbon fibre reinforcement and finished with a smooth glossy surface, it provides an excellent balance of stiffness, strength and professional appearance.
Available in a choice of practical thicknesses and sheet sizes, this carbon fibre sheet is ideal for lightweight structural panels, brackets, frames and high-performance components. It is widely used in engineering, motorsport, drone and RC builds, robotics, industrial jigs and fixtures, as well as custom projects requiring a strong yet lightweight composite material.
Product Features
- Offered in three popular thicknesses: 1 mm, 2 mm and 3 mm to suit everything from cosmetic skins to structural parts.
- Multiple sheet lengths available: 250 mm, 470 mm, 500 mm, 980 mm, 1000 mm and 2000 mm for small components or larger panels.
- Range of sheet widths: 230 mm, 250 mm, 470 mm, 500 mm and 980 mm to optimise material use and minimise waste.
- High strength carbon fibre construction providing excellent stiffness-to-weight and strength-to-weight ratios.
- Glossy surface finish on one face for a clean, professional carbon fibre appearance and easy wipe-down.
- Engineered flat sheet format suitable for cutting, drilling and machining with appropriate tools.
- Compatible with standard composite bonding methods, including structural adhesives and epoxy systems.
Key Features and Benefits
- High stiffness and strength allow significant weight reduction compared with metal plates while maintaining structural integrity.
- Glossy finish delivers a premium aesthetic that is ideal for visible components, housings and protective covers.
- Variety of thicknesses and sheet sizes helps reduce offcuts and material waste, saving time and cost during fabrication.
- Good dimensional stability and low thermal expansion support accurate, repeatable performance in demanding environments.
- Suitable for precision machining and custom shaping, enabling complex parts and tailored designs.
- Resistant to corrosion and many chemicals, providing long service life in both indoor and outdoor installations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cut and drill the carbon fibre sheet with standard workshop tools?
The sheet can be cut and drilled, but it is recommended to use tools suitable for composites, such as fine-tooth blades and carbide or diamond-coated cutters. Always use dust extraction and wear appropriate respiratory and eye protection, as carbon fibre dust should not be inhaled.
Is the glossy finish on both sides of the sheet?
The sheet is supplied with a glossy finish on one face, ideal for visible surfaces and cosmetic applications. The reverse face is typically more matt and is well suited for bonding or concealed structural use.
Which thickness should I choose for my application?
As a general guide, 1 mm is best for lightweight skins, covers and non-structural panels, 2 mm provides good rigidity for small brackets and plates, and 3 mm is preferable for more heavily loaded or larger structural components. Always consider your specific loading conditions and, if in doubt, allow a margin of safety.
