Aluminium U Channel 125mm x 63mm x 6mm
Description
The 125mm x 63mm x 6mm aluminium U channel is a heavy-duty, precision-extruded profile produced from EN AW-6063 alloy in T5 temper, delivering excellent corrosion resistance, exceptional rigidity, and a smooth surface finish. Its wide 125 mm base and 63 mm leg height provide substantial coverage and strong panel support, while the thick 6 mm wall ensures outstanding load-bearing performance for demanding structural applications.
This U channel is ideal for industrial framing, reinforced edging, heavy panel retention, and large-scale architectural projects where durability and structural integrity are critical. It can be cut, drilled, and machined to precise specifications.
Supplied in 6-metre standard lengths with a mill finish, it is also available with anodised or powder-coated finishes for enhanced durability and aesthetics.
➤ Minimum order quantity: 500 kg.
➤ Worldwide delivery via road, sea, or air freight.
