About Aluminum

Architectural 6063 Aluminum U-Channels

More corrosion resistant and easier to form than multipurpose 6061 aluminum, 6063 is primarily used for exterior railings, decorative trim, and door frames.

Anodized Architectural 6063 Aluminum U-Channels

An anodized coating on these U-channels forms a bond with the aluminum surface to improve wear and corrosion resistance.

Multipurpose 6061 Aluminum U-Channels

The most widely used aluminum, 6061 is fabricated into everything from pipe fittings and containers to automotive and aerospace parts. It is strong and corrosion resistant, plus it's easy to machine and weld.

Surface Guards and Trim

Metal Trim

Made of aluminum or stainless steel, this trim withstands heavy impact for maximum surface protection. It's often used on panels, boards, signs, and mirrors to protect the edges.

Panel Connecting Trim

Connect two panels while protecting the edges from damage.

Structural Framing

Extra Low-Profile Strut Channel

Run cable and tubing in the tightest spaces with channel that is one-quarter the height and one-half the width of regular strut channel.

Low-Profile Strut Channel

Half the height and the same width as regular strut channel, this low-profile strut channel fits into tight spots and is compatible with many of the same brackets.
