Aluminium U Channel 55.5mm x 29mm x 2mm
Description
The 55.5mm x 29mm x 2mm aluminium U channel is a robust, precision-extruded profile manufactured from EN AW-6063 alloy in T5 temper, offering excellent corrosion resistance, high dimensional stability, and smooth surface quality. Its 55.5 mm base width and 29 mm leg height provide generous coverage and secure panel support, while the 2 mm wall thickness ensures strong and reliable performance.
Ideal for panel framing, protective edging, architectural trim, and structural applications, this U channel is suitable for both commercial and industrial projects. 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.
