    Cold Rolled Steel Uk sourcing?

    Just trying draw some attention to one of the problems affecting my build and potentially many UK builders.

    I have been told and now know from a days worth of researching that 6mm thick cold rolled steel is not produced in the UK.

    3mm is the apparent standard.

    So I was think to just buy double what I need and just bolt them together maybe to achieve the 6mm.

    Has any one tried this out before?

    Cheers for input.
