Aluminium U Channel 20mm x 40mm x 2mm
Description
The 20mm x 40mm x 2mm aluminium U channel is a strong, versatile profile extruded from EN AW-6063 alloy in T5 temper, offering excellent corrosion resistance, dimensional stability, and ease of fabrication. With its extended 40 mm leg height, it provides superior panel coverage and support, making it ideal for applications where extra holding depth is required. The 2 mm wall thickness ensures durability while keeping the profile lightweight and easy to handle.
Common uses include architectural trim, panel framing, protective edging, and structural support in commercial, industrial, and decorative projects. This U channel can be easily cut, drilled, and machined to fit specific design needs.
Supplied in 6-metre standard lengths with a smooth mill finish, it can also be anodised or powder coated for enhanced surface protection and aesthetics.
➤ Minimum order quantity: 500 kg.
➤ Worldwide delivery via road, sea, or air freight.
