Aluminium U Channel 20mm x 20mm x 2mm
Description
The 20mm x 20mm x 2mm aluminium U channel is a versatile, equal-leg profile extruded from EN AW-6063 alloy in T5 temper, offering an ideal combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and ease of fabrication. Its equal 20 mm base and leg dimensions provide balanced coverage and support, while the 2 mm wall thickness ensures durability without excessive weight.
Suitable for framing, edging, panel retention, and architectural trim, this U channel is widely used in furniture production, display systems, and light structural applications. It can be easily cut, drilled, and machined to fit custom requirements.
Supplied in standard 6-metre lengths with a smooth mill finish, 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.
