Aluminium U Channel
Description
An aluminium U channel profile is a versatile extrusion widely used in structural, architectural, and decorative applications. Known for its strength, lightweight design, and corrosion resistance, it provides a reliable solution for both interior and exterior projects.
A mill-finish aluminium U channel is commonly used for structural framing, trims, protective edges, tracks, slides, and cladding systems. Its untreated surface makes it easy to cut, weld, and machine, offering cost-effectiveness for indoor applications or projects where additional finishing will be applied later.
A powder-coated aluminium U channel is designed for architectural and design purposes, offering a perfect combination of durability and visual appeal. It is commonly used in applications such as building façades, curtain walls, decorative trims, storage systems, and protective framing. The powder coating creates a robust surface that withstands UV exposure and harsh weather conditions while maintaining a clean, uniform finish over time, making it an excellent choice for both indoor and outdoor environments.
An anodised aluminium U channel is ideal for premium exterior and high-performance environments. It is widely used in window and door systems, lighting fixtures, LED housings, and architectural cladding. The anodised finish enhances the material’s resistance to corrosion, UV degradation, and surface wear, ensuring long-lasting performance in demanding conditions such as marine or industrial settings.
Each U channel is extruded from 6063-T5 aluminium alloy, known for its strength, corrosion resistance, and excellent machinability. The profile comes in a standard length of 6 metres, with custom cutting available to meet precise dimensional requirements. All profiles are produced in compliance with EN 755-1 standards for quality and consistency.
