Description

The 12mm x 18mm x 1.5mm aluminium U channel is a compact, rigid profile extruded from EN AW-6063 alloy in T5 temper, offering an excellent balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and machinability. With its 12 mm base width and 18 mm leg height, it is ideal for edge protection, panel framing, and lightweight structural assemblies where durability and clean lines are required.

Common applications include display fixtures, architectural trims, furniture edging, and custom fabrication projects. The 1.5 mm wall thickness provides improved rigidity over thinner options while remaining easy to cut, drill, and machine.

Supplied in a smooth mill finish, with anodising or powder coating available on request for enhanced durability and appearance.

➤ Minimum order quantity: 500 kg.
