Aluminium U Channel 26mm x 5mm x 2mm
Description
The 26mm x 5mm x 2mm aluminium U channel is a compact, heavy-duty profile extruded from EN AW-6063 alloy in T5 temper, offering excellent corrosion resistance, dimensional accuracy, and enhanced rigidity. Its wide 26 mm base and low 5 mm leg height make it ideal for applications requiring a broad support surface with minimal vertical profile. The 2 mm wall thickness ensures strong performance in both structural and protective uses.
Typical applications include track systems, cover trims, industrial edging, and custom fabrication in both commercial and industrial environments. This U channel is easy to cut, drill, and machine, making it highly adaptable to specific project requirements.
Supplied in 6-metre standard lengths with a smooth mill finish, it is also available with anodised or powder-coated finishes for improved durability and appearance.
➤ Minimum order quantity: 500 kg.
➤ Worldwide delivery via road, sea, or air freight.
