Kedla Aluminium Equal Angle 38.1 mm x 2 mm x 2.5 m: EX-R26 Profile, Heavy-Duty Structural Framing and Corner Bracing

Maximum Stability with the 1.5-Inch Structural Angle

 

The Kedla Aluminium Equal Angle (Profile EX-R26) is a substantial structural profile designed for applications demanding high rigidity, load-bearing capability, and maximum stability. Manufactured by Kedla and typically supplied through Castor & Ladder Supply, this angle features large 38.1 mm legs (exactly 1 ½ inches) and a robust 3.17 mm thickness (1/8 inch). This combination makes it the premier choice for constructing durable frames, reinforcing large structures, and fabricating strong, secure brackets.

Provided in a convenient 2.5-metre length, this angle minimizes wastage while remaining manageable for transport. Crafted from high-quality aluminium, it offers excellent natural corrosion resistance, ensuring its structural integrity lasts for years, even in challenging exterior environments. It is competitively priced and is the ultimate solution when maximum strength and a wide mounting surface are essential.

Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 

1. How does this angle compare to the 25.4mm angle (EX-R23)?

   • Both share the same heavy-duty 3.17mm thickness, but the 38.1mm (EX-R26) profile is significantly wider, offering greater load capacity, much higher rigidity, and a larger surface area for mounting.

2. Is this profile easy to cut and drill?

   • Due to the 3.17mm thickness, cutting is best done with a chop saw and a non-ferrous blade. It is easily drilled, but use a sturdy setup and sharp HSS drill bits for accurate holes.

3. What is the best way to join this profile for framing?

   • For maximum strength, use TIG or MIG welding. For non-welded joints, use heavy-duty corner brackets secured with stainless steel bolts and locknuts.
