Aluminium U Channel 45mm x 43mm x 2mm
Description
The 45mm x 43mm x 2mm aluminium U channel is a durable, precision-extruded profile made from EN AW-6063 alloy in T5 temper, offering excellent corrosion resistance, dimensional stability, and a smooth surface finish. Its 45 mm base width and 43 mm leg height provide extensive coverage and secure panel support, while the 2 mm wall thickness ensures reliable strength without excessive weight.
This U channel is ideal for panel framing, architectural trim, protective edging, and structural assemblies in both commercial and industrial applications. It can be easily cut, drilled, and machined to meet specific fabrication requirements.
Supplied in standard 6-metre lengths with a mill finish, it is also available with anodised or powder-coated finishes for enhanced durability and appearance.
➤ Minimum order quantity: 500 kg.
➤ Worldwide delivery via road, sea, or air freight.
