Channels


The channels are used as structural supports in industries where stainless steel bars, plates and sheets are used. The channels hold the bars, sheets and plates in place for structural build ups.As a leading Stainless Steel Channel Manufacturer we produce the channels in different shapes, sizes and grades of materials. There are C channels that have three angled stretches and look like a C where the U channels have extended sides and shorter middle section that look like the letter U.The SS 304 U Channel is one of the most used U channels in the stainless steel grades.
