Aluminium U Channel 43.2mm x 40mm x 1.2mm
Description
The 43.2mm x 40mm x 1.2mm aluminium U channel is a lightweight, precision-extruded profile made from EN AW-6063 alloy in T5 temper, combining excellent corrosion resistance, smooth surface quality, and easy machinability. Its 43.2 mm base width and 40 mm leg height provide wide coverage and secure panel support, while the 1.2 mm wall thickness keeps the profile light and easy to work with.
Commonly used in panel framing, display systems, edging, and architectural trim, this U channel is suitable for both commercial and decorative applications. It can be easily cut, drilled, and machined to meet specific fabrication needs.
Supplied in standard 6-metre lengths with a smooth mill finish, anodising or powder coating is available on request for improved durability and aesthetics.
➤ Minimum order quantity: 500 kg.
➤ Worldwide delivery via road, sea, or air freight.
