Aluminium U Channel 13mm x 27.7mm x 1.2mm
Description
The 13mm x 27.7mm x 1.2mm aluminium U channel is a versatile, precision-extruded profile produced from EN AW-6063 alloy in T5 temper, delivering excellent corrosion resistance, dimensional stability, and a smooth surface finish. Its 13 mm base width combined with a taller 27.7 mm leg height provides increased coverage and secure support for panels, edges, and framing structures while maintaining a lightweight design.
Commonly used in architectural trim, display systems, partition framing, and protective edge applications, this U channel is easy to cut, drill, and machine for custom projects.
Supplied in a standard 6-metre mill finish, with optional anodising or powder coating available to enhance durability and visual appeal.
➤ Minimum order quantity: 500 kg.
➤ Worldwide delivery via road, sea, or air freight.
