Aluminium U Channel 15mm x 17mm x 1.25mm
Description
The 15mm x 17mm x 1.25mm aluminium U channel is a lightweight yet sturdy profile extruded from EN AW-6063 alloy in T5 temper, offering excellent corrosion resistance, smooth surface quality, and ease of fabrication. Its slightly taller 17 mm leg height provides extra coverage and secure panel support, while the 1.25 mm wall thickness keeps the profile lightweight and easy to work with.
Ideal for edging, framing, panel retention, and decorative trim, this U channel is widely used in furniture manufacturing, display systems, and architectural applications. It can be easily cut, drilled, and machined to suit custom designs.
Supplied in a smooth mill finish as standard, with anodising or powder coating available for improved surface durability and aesthetics.
➤ Minimum order quantity: 500 kg.
➤ Worldwide delivery via road, sea, or air freight.
