Frequently Asked Questions

What size is this aluminium U-channel?

The channel measures 30mm x 33mm and is supplied in a 6000mm (6 metre) length. The profile reference is PP 181 / AP 181.

What aluminium is the channel made from?

The extrusion is manufactured from 6063-T5 aluminium.

What colours are available?

Available finishes include Black, Monument, Woodland Grey, Silver, Surfmist, White, Basalt, Dune and Mill. Mill finish is uncoated aluminium.

Can I cut the 6000mm U-channel to size?

Yes. The aluminium extrusion can be measured and cut on site using suitable aluminium-cutting equipment and techniques. Cutting a coated extrusion may expose raw aluminium at the cut edge.

Can the aluminium U-channel be drilled?

Yes. The extrusion can be drilled using appropriate tools and techniques for aluminium. Drilled areas may expose the underlying aluminium.

Is this U-channel compatible with every panel or slat?

No. This is a specific 30mm x 33mm PP 181 / AP 181 profile. Compatibility depends on the dimensions and design of the adjoining component. Check your required profile before ordering.

Is the channel suitable for coastal areas?

Suitability depends on the selected finish, proximity to saltwater and the level of environmental exposure. For coastal or high-corrosion locations, confirm that the selected finish is appropriate for your installation before ordering.

Can I collect the 6 metre aluminium channel?

Yes. Free collection is available by prior arrangement from selected depots in Gold Coast, Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne, Cardiff and Perth.

Because the extrusion is 6000mm long, ensure your vehicle is suitable for transporting the full length and that appropriate supports and legal load restraints are used.

Do you deliver 6000mm aluminium extrusions?

Delivery is available to selected areas across Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Western Australia. See the delivery areas above or contact Glasshouse AU if you are outside the listed locations.

Need Help Confirming the Correct Profile?

Before ordering, check that PP 181 / AP 181 and the 30mm x 33mm dimensions match the requirements of your project.
