Kedla Aluminium Equal Angle 12,7 mm x 3,2 mm x 2.5 m: EX-R21 Profile, Intermediate Trim and Light Corner Bracing

Enhanced Corner Protection and Lightweight Framing

 

The Kedla Aluminium Equal Angle (Profile EX-R21) is a versatile, intermediate-sized profile designed for effective corner protection, decorative trimming, and light frame construction. Manufactured by Kedla and typically supplied through Castor & Ladder Supply, this angle measures 19.05 mm on each leg (approx. 3/4 inch) and is 1.58 mm thick. This size is ideal for jobs that require more coverage than the smallest angle, such as trimming thicker shelving or providing light support in cabinetry.

Provided in a convenient 2.5-metre length, this angle is highly manageable, easy to cut, and simple to secure. Crafted from high-quality aluminium, it offers excellent natural corrosion resistance, making it an ideal choice for durable, aesthetic finishing in both interior and exterior covered environments. It is competitively priced and is exceptionally easy to work with using standard DIY tools.

Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 

1. Is this angle suitable for supporting a heavy weight?

   • No. Due to the thin 1.58mm thickness, this angle is designed for trim, finishing, and lightweight framing only. For structural load-bearing, a thicker gauge (e.g., 3.17mm) is required.

2. How does this compare to the 25.4mm angle (EX-R22)?

   • The EX-R21 (12.70 mm) is slightly narrower than the EX-R22 (25.4mm), offering a less visually dominant line while sharing the same lightweight 1.58mm thickness.

3. What is the best way to cut this size of angle?

   • Use a hacksaw with a fine-toothed blade or, for multiple cuts, a chop saw with a non-ferrous metal cutting blade.
