Overview
A three-sided metal channel. As a U it forms a recessed groove or caps the edge of a board. As a C, with small returns on the legs, it grips a panel or hides a cut edge.
MCS V-grooves both bends, so the inside of the channel is square and the width stays the same along the whole length. Width, leg height, returns, length, metal and finish are made to your drawing, in stainless steel, brass, aluminium or mild steel.
Used for: shadow gaps between wall panels, edge capping for boards and glass, inlay grooves in walls and furniture, channels for LED strip and wiring.
To quote we need: inside width, leg height, any returns, length, quantity, metal and finish.
