Aluminium U Channel 19mm x 8mm x 2mm
Description
The 19mm x 8mm x 2mm aluminium U channel is a compact, heavy-duty profile extruded from EN AW-6063 alloy in T5 temper, combining excellent corrosion resistance with enhanced rigidity. Its 19 mm base width and low 8 mm leg height make it ideal for applications requiring a wide, stable base and minimal vertical profile. The 2 mm wall thickness ensures durability and strength while maintaining manageable weight.
Typical uses include track systems, edge protection, structural trims, and custom framing in industrial, commercial, and architectural projects. This U channel is easy to cut, drill, and machine, allowing for tailored solutions.
Supplied in 6-metre standard lengths with a smooth mill finish, and available with anodised or powder-coated finishes upon request.
➤ Minimum order quantity: 500 kg.
➤ Worldwide delivery via road, sea, or air freight.
