Aluminium U Channel 43.5mm x 20.5mm x 1.2mm
Description
The 43.5mm x 20.5mm x 1.2mm aluminium U channel is a lightweight yet sturdy profile extruded from EN AW-6063 alloy in T5 temper, providing excellent corrosion resistance, smooth surface quality, and easy machinability. Its 43.5 mm base width and 20.5 mm leg height make it suitable for applications requiring a broad support base with moderate side coverage, while the 1.2 mm wall thickness keeps the profile easy to handle and cost-effective.
Commonly used in panel framing, edging, display systems, and architectural trim, this U channel can be easily cut, drilled, and machined to fit specific fabrication needs.
Supplied in standard 6-metre lengths with a mill finish, anodising or powder coating is available for improved durability and aesthetic appeal.
➤ Minimum order quantity: 500 kg.
➤ Worldwide delivery via road, sea, or air freight.
