Aluminium U Channel 23mm x 20mm x 1.3mm
Description
The 23mm x 20mm x 1.3mm aluminium U channel is a durable, precision-extruded profile manufactured from EN AW-6063 alloy in T5 temper, offering excellent corrosion resistance, dimensional stability, and a smooth finish. Its 23 mm base width and 20 mm leg height provide balanced coverage for various framing and edging tasks, while the 1.3 mm wall thickness delivers strength without adding excessive weight.
This U channel profile is widely used in panel framing, protective edging, display systems, and architectural trim applications. It can be easily cut, drilled, and machined to meet specific project requirements.
Supplied in standard 6-metre lengths with a smooth mill finish, anodising or powder coating is available on request to enhance durability and visual appeal.
➤ Minimum order quantity: 500 kg.
➤ Worldwide delivery via road, sea, or air freight.
