About Aluminium Channel
Aluminium channel, also referred to as aluminium U channel or aluminium C channel, is a profile with a consistent cross section that is widely used for frame making, general fabrication, and light metalwork.
The material is lightweight relative to steel and other metals, carries good strength and weldability, and has excellent corrosion resistance that holds up in both indoor and outdoor conditions without additional surface treatment.
The profile is stocked in mill finish across a full range of aluminium channel sizes, widths, and wall thicknesses.

Aluminium Channel Applications
London Metal Store offers a broad range of aluminium products, and aluminium channel sections are among the most widely used across frame making, furniture fabrication, sliding doors, display components, and general fabrication.
The versatility of the profile means it works across many industries and applications, from shelving and storage systems to general metalwork where durability and low weight are important.
The consistent cross section allows accurate cutting and clean joining, which is useful for projects that require clean edges and consistent dimensions.
Common Uses of Aluminium Channel
Aluminium channel is commonly used for frame making, sliding doors, furniture frames, display units, shelving, and general metalwork. The profile is ideal for both indoor and outdoor fabrication projects, as its low weight and corrosion resistance keep it durable across a broad range of conditions.
Where weight reduction matters, aluminium is significantly lighter than steel and other metals, and the ease of cutting, drilling, and welding with standard tools means neither trade nor DIY projects need specialist equipment.
Aluminium Channel Sizes
Aluminium channel is available in wall thicknesses of 1.6mm and 3.2mm, with sizes from 12.7mm x 12.7mm up to 50.8mm x 50.8mm. All sections are supplied in 2.5M lengths. To place an order, select the size and quantity on the product page and the price is calculated ex VAT.
Aluminium Channel Properties
Aluminium is a silver grey metal with a low density relative to other metals. It does not rust, and when exposed to moisture, it forms a stable oxide layer on its surface that protects it from further corrosion without any additional coating.
