Aluminium U Channel 15mm x 30mm x 3mm
Description
The 15mm x 30mm x 3mm aluminium U channel is a robust, heavy-duty profile extruded from EN AW-6063 alloy in T5 temper, combining excellent corrosion resistance with high structural strength. Its 30 mm leg height and thick 3 mm walls provide outstanding rigidity, making it suitable for demanding applications where stability and durability are essential.
This profile is commonly used in industrial framing, machinery guards, structural supports, and architectural installations requiring a strong yet workable aluminium component. It can be cut, drilled, and machined with ease, allowing for precise customisation.
Supplied in 6-metre lengths with a smooth mill finish as standard, anodising or powder coating is available for enhanced surface protection and visual appeal.
➤ Minimum order quantity: 500 kg.
➤ Worldwide delivery via road, sea, or air freight.
