Aluminium U Channel 40mm x 40mm x 2mm
Description
The 40mm x 40mm x 2mm aluminium U channel is a robust, equal-leg profile extruded from EN AW-6063 alloy in T5 temper, offering excellent corrosion resistance, high dimensional stability, and ease of machining. With equal 40 mm base and leg dimensions, it provides substantial coverage and support for a wide range of framing and edging applications, while the 2 mm wall thickness ensures reliable strength without unnecessary weight.
This profile is widely used in architectural trim, structural framing, panel edging, and custom fabrication for both commercial and industrial projects. It can be easily cut, drilled, and machined to meet specific requirements.
Supplied in 6-metre standard lengths with a smooth mill finish, anodising or powder coating is available for enhanced durability and appearance.
➤ Minimum order quantity: 500 kg.
➤ Worldwide delivery via road, sea, or air freight.
