Aluminium U Channel

Post by kalbow »

Hi Folks

Does anyone know where I might buy 'U' shaped aluminium channel for capping the end of some Polycarbonate roofing I've installed. I'm looking for channel that's 10mm on the bottom of the 'U' and about 25mm on the sides.

I found some 8mm channel at the Aluminium Framing shop near/next to the Weather Station but this is too tight a fit and they didn't have the larger size. I've check Hua Hin Glass, Thai Watsadu and a few local hardware shops but had no luck. Also checked a few mossie-screen framers but U-shape is not something they use.

Thanks for any help on this.

Might be worth checking at the stainless steel shop opposite the airport. He has all sorts of odd stuff in there, and some items he can shape to size.

If you can take a small sample of what you are trying to do it may help. He does have someone that speaks English, but they are not always there. He has made up a couple of odd things for me in the past, the biggest problem being getting across just what you want. :cheers:
