U-Channels
Description: U-Channels have a simple U-shaped profile that holds glass panels securely in place. These channels are typically installed on the ceiling to support the top edge of the glass.
Applications:
- Shower enclosures
- Office partitions
- Room dividers
- Storefronts
Benefits:
- Easy Installation: U-Channels are straightforward to install, making them a popular choice for both DIY projects and professional installations.
- Sleek Appearance: They provide a seamless, minimalist look that enhances the modern aesthetic of glass partitions.
- Versatile Finishes: Available in various finishes such as aluminium and powder-coated colours, U-Channels can be matched to any design scheme.
- Cost-Effective: U-Channels are generally more affordable compared to other types of channels, offering a budget-friendly solution without compromising on quality.
Usage: We utilise U-Channels on the ceiling to ensure a clean, unobtrusive finish that supports the glass panels without drawing attention away from the sleek design of the partition.
Two-Part Channels
Description: Two-Part Channels consist of a base channel and a clamping channel. This design allows for easier alignment and secure fastening of glass panels. These channels are installed on the walls and floor to provide robust support and stability.
Applications:
- Frameless glass doors
- Full-height glass walls
- Office partitions
- Residential interior partitions
Benefits:
- Enhanced Stability: The two-part design provides a stronger hold, ensuring that the glass panels remain securely in place even in high-traffic areas.
- Ease of Adjustment: Two-part channels allow for precise alignment during installation, which is particularly useful for ensuring perfect vertical and horizontal placement of the glass.
- Professional Finish: The clamping mechanism hides screws and fasteners, offering a cleaner and more professional look.
- Durability: Made from robust materials, two-part channels are designed to withstand daily wear and tear, making them suitable for both commercial and residential applications.
Usage: We use Two-Part Channels on the walls and floor to provide enhanced stability and a secure fit. The two-part system allows for precise adjustments during installation, ensuring that the glass panels are perfectly aligned and firmly anchored.
