Aluminium U Channel 16mm x 30mm x 2mm
Description
The 16mm x 30mm x 2mm aluminium U channel is a durable, precision-extruded profile manufactured from EN AW-6063 alloy in T5 temper. With its 30 mm leg height and 2 mm wall thickness, it offers excellent rigidity and secure panel support while remaining lightweight and easy to work with.
This profile is widely used in panel framing, structural edging, display systems, and architectural trim applications. It can be easily cut, drilled, and machined to suit custom fabrication needs.
Supplied in 6-metre standard lengths with a smooth mill finish as standard, anodising or powder coating is available for enhanced corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal.
➤ Minimum order quantity: 500 kg.
➤ Worldwide delivery via road, sea, or air freight.
