Key Features
U-Shaped Design
The U-shaped profile evenly distributes weight across construction frames and mechanical systems. Use it for:
- Mounting glass balcony panels
- Securing LED lighting strips
- Protecting electrical wires in outdoor settings
Lightweight Strength
It weighs 60% less than steel while maintaining load-bearing capacity. Installers report 30% faster fitting compared to iron alternatives.
Corrosion-Resistant Material
Natural oxidation prevents rust in coastal areas, industrial sites, and high-moisture environments. Third-party tests show zero corrosion after 1,200 salt spray hours.
6xxx-series aluminum combines lightweight properties with oxidation resistance. These U-profiles withstand outdoor exposure without rusting, making them suitable for marine environments and industrial washdown areas.
4. Custom Sizing
Stock sizes range from 20mm x 15mm (1.5mm wall) to 60mm x 50mm (3mm wall). Request non-standard dimensions for specialized applications like conveyor systems or exhibition displays. Specify dimensions for:
- Solar panel mounting systems
- Window guide rails
- Retail display frames
