Household aluminum foil rolls are made of high-purity aluminum. The large rolls are rewound into thin rolls, and finally made into different meters according to different applications and the needs of different countries for aluminum foil rolls. Aluminum foil has excellent thermal conductivity and is the best material choice for food preservation and insulation. The versatility of aluminum foil rolls is not limited to home kitchens and restaurants, but is also used in industries such as construction, electronics and pharmaceuticals. It is a multi-purpose packaging material.
How many centimeters is 24 inches wide aluminum foil?
24 inches wide aluminum foil is about 60.96 centimeters wide. This extra wide width of aluminum foil can provide better coverage (large area coverage) when wrapping large food or using it for industrial applications. The thickness of aluminum foil is a matter of great concern to small roll manufacturers or wholesale buyers, and the thickness varies depending on the application. The following table is a common aluminum foil thickness measurement and rough conversion:
| Thickness (Inches) | Thickness (Microns) | Thickness (Centimeters) |
| 0.00063 in | 16 microns | 0.0016 cm |
| 0.00071in | 18 microns | 0.0018 cm |
| 0.0007875in | 20 microns | 0.002 cm |
| 0.00098 in | 25 microns | 0.0025 cm |
| 0.00118 in | 30 microns | 0.003 cm |
The most commonly used thickness of Extra Heavy Duty Foil is 16 microns, 18 microns, and 20 microns. There are also thicker thicknesses, such as 25 microns. This extra-heavy and extra-wide aluminum foil is often used in large applications such as restaurants and catering services. It is used frequently and is very durable. It is often purchased in large quantities and has a large number of meters. Thinner aluminum foil rolls, such as 9 microns, 10 microns, 11 microns, 14 microns, and 15 microns, are often used in home kitchens. The number of meters will also be smaller, and the frequency of home use is low.
Choose a large number of meters and a large width, such as a 60 cm wide aluminum foil roll, which is very durable and suitable for large-scale applications. In this way, the waste of materials is minimized.
Why do restaurants and large catering services often choose extra-heavy aluminum foil?
In terms of thickness, the thickness of extra-heavy aluminum foil is slightly thicker than that of standard aluminum foil, and its durability will be greatly enhanced. It often appears in:
Barbecues and grills, the function is: to prevent tearing and withstand high temperatures.
Commercial kitchens: The function is: for large-scale food preparation.
Storage and freezing, to provide better insulation for food preservation.
Lining ovens and grills, to protect cooking surfaces from spills and grease accumulation.
Industrial use, for insulation, cable wrapping and packaging fragile items.
Characteristics of extra heavy-duty aluminum foil for food:
High heat resistance: no problem in air fryers or ovens.
Strong puncture resistance: wrap food intact, not easy to tear or cut.
Improved moisture barrier: waterproof and moisture-proof, increasing the shelf life of the wrapped food.
What are the advantages and characteristics of extra-wide heavy-duty aluminum foil?

Extra-wide heavy-duty aluminum foil is designed for heavy-duty applications that require wider aluminum foil, such as the width of 30cm at home, and the width of extra-heavy aluminum foil can be 45cm and 60cm. Its main advantages are as follows:
Wider width, wider coverage, suitable for wrapping large pallets, containers and food.
Wider width, higher utilization, can effectively reduce waste, and fewer meters are required compared to standard aluminum foil width.
Enhanced durability: very suitable for applications with high temperature and heavy use.
Wide range of industrial uses: used for roofing, insulation and thermal insulation application materials, can be laminated.
Application of extra-wide heavy-duty aluminum foil (45cm/60cm):
More suitable for restaurants, high frequency of use, and need to cover a larger area, often choose 60cm width.
More suitable for the baking industry: used to line large ovens and commercial baking trays, the frequency of use is very high, and the width of 45cm is often selected.
Aviation and marine industries: provide heat insulation and moisture protection, and the width of 60cm is often selected.
What are the benefits of commercial heavy-duty aluminum foil?
Commercial heavy-duty aluminum foil is the best choice for restaurants and catering services, which have high demand. Benefits include:
High tear resistance
Extended durability
Multiple applications for food and industrial use
Suitable for extreme temperature applications
Cost-effective for bulk use

The alloy of household/kitchen aluminum foil rolls is 8011, and the temper is often O, which is very suitable for cooking purposes. 8011 household aluminum foil has other multifunctional uses:
In the medical field: used for packaging of tablets and capsules, moisture-proof, and enhancing shelf life.
In the electrical industry: providing insulation protection and packaging for cables and circuit boards.
In the automotive industry: used as a heat shield for the engine compartment and as a thermal insulation material.
In art and design: used for carving, crafts and decorative purposes.
When choosing a household aluminum foil roll, the first consideration is width, thickness and your end use. Whether you need 24-inch wide aluminum foil, extra heavy aluminum foil, extra wide heavy aluminum foil or commercial heavy aluminum foil, HTMM can provide you with the best quality and service at the fastest speed.
