Channels
Channels provide continuous support for a variety of applications. They are used to stiffen plastic sleeves, offer strength to other components and provide cosmetic covers. Channels typically have a base, referred to as the "web", with legs on either side. Channels are integrated into framing systems, grating projects, clamping applications and protecting edges. Custom channels are roll formed in aluminum, steel, brass, bronze and copper.
