Aluminium T, U and L Profiles
T, U and L profiles are the plain extruded sections that close gaps, edge boards and finish internal and external corners. Our range runs from 5 mm to 50 mm in both width and height, with a 0.5–1.0 mm wall, in 2.5 m lengths. MOQ starts at 300 m per profile.

Representative T, U and L sections
Representative sections from our die library. On a U-section the deciding dimension is the internal width, because it has to take the board or panel you are edging; on an L it is the leg that covers the corner. Send your drawing and we confirm the section.

Capability range
Every dimension below is confirmed against your drawing before production. Because the range is wide, we publish the working range rather than fixed SKUs.
| Item | Specification | What it means for your project |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Aluminium alloy | Extruded aluminium sections for interior trim |
| Grade | 6063-T5 | Standard architectural extrusion grade, confirmed against your specification before sampling |
| Item | Specification | What it means for your project |
|---|---|---|
| Internal width | 5–50 mm | The dimension that decides fit. On a U-section it must take the thickness of the panel you are edging; on an L it is the leg that covers the corner |
| Height | 5–50 mm | Set by the depth of the joint or edge you are closing |
| Thickness | 0.5–1.0 mm | Standard range, with heavier walls on request |
| Standard length | 2.5 m | Supplied in standard lengths or cut to the size you need |
| Custom lengths | Cut to size | Cut to your required length on the production run |
Surface finishes and colours
| Item | Specification | What it means for your project |
|---|---|---|
| Surface finish | Anodized, powder-coated, wood-grain, brushed, polished, sandblasted | Available processes; powder coating can be matched to a RAL code |
| Gloss level | Glossy or matt | Every colour is available in either version — tell us the sheen you need |
| Colour | 10 standard | Silver, Gold, Rose Gold, Bronze, Champagne, Grey, Granite, Light Grey, Black, White |
| Custom colours | Matched to your sample | Colour matched to your reference — typically within 90% on standard tones; special colours confirmed in advance |
Ten colours are held as standard, and every one of them can be produced glossy or matt. Send a colour reference — a swatch, a photo or a RAL code — and we match it. On standard tones the match typically reaches 90%, and unusual colours are confirmed with a physical sample before production. If the sheen matters for your project, say so at the enquiry stage and we will confirm it with the sample.
The same ten colours are used across the whole range, so mixed profiles on one job match.
Where T, U and L profiles are used
These sections are used for furniture edges, shelf and counter nosings, display and shopfitting details, partition joints and wall features. They are the plain profiles you specify when the finish has to read as a thin, sharp line.

Frequently asked questions
Can you make a section to my own drawing?
Yes, that is most of what we do. New-profile tooling is inexpensive and sampling runs 10–15 days, so a custom T, U or L section is viable on a small first order as well as on a repeat.
What is the smallest and largest section you produce?
Sections run from 5 mm to 50 mm in both width and height, with a 0.5–1.0 mm wall as standard. Sizes outside that range are quoted on request.
Do these sections come in the same finishes as the trims?
Yes. Every section is produced in the same surface finishes and the same ten standard colours as the rest of the range, so mixed sections on one job match.
