Aluminium U Channel 17mm x 17mm x 1.1mm
Description
The 17mm x 17mm x 1.1mm aluminium U channel is a lightweight, equal-leg profile extruded from EN AW-6063 alloy in T5 temper, combining corrosion resistance with easy machinability. Its 1.1 mm wall thickness keeps the profile light and economical, while the 17 mm leg height offers balanced coverage for various light-duty applications.
Commonly used in furniture manufacturing, display fixtures, panel edging, and architectural trim work, this U channel is easy to cut, drill, and shape to meet custom design needs.
Supplied in 6-metre standard lengths with a smooth mill finish, it can also be anodised or powder coated for improved surface protection and enhanced aesthetics.
➤ Minimum order quantity: 500 kg.
➤ Worldwide delivery via road, sea, or air freight.
