Kedla Aluminium Flat Bar 25 mm x 2 mm x 2.5 m: EX-R13 Profile, Wide Face for Trims, Cover Plates and Finishing

Wide and Lightweight: The Ideal Finishing Profile

 

The Kedla Aluminium Flat Bar (Profile EX-R13) is a unique and versatile profile that combines a wide, visible face with a light, thin gauge. Manufactured by Kedla and typically supplied through Castor & Ladder Supply, this bar measures a broad 25.00 mm wide (approx. 1 ¼ inches) but a slim 2.00 mm thick. This makes it perfect for applications where you need a large surface area for coverage, finishing, or lightweight mounting, while still being very easy to cut and bend.

Provided in a convenient 2.5-metre length, this flat bar is easy to handle and transport, minimizing wastage. Crafted from high-quality aluminium, it offers natural corrosion resistance, ensuring a long-lasting, clean finish for both interior and exterior trim work. It is competitively priced and the ideal solution for large-scale trim, edging, and cover plate fabrication.

Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 

1. Is this profile strong?

   • Due to its thin 2.00 mm gauge, this bar is not intended for structural support or heavy load-bearing. It is best used for trim, finishing, and coverage purposes. For strength, choose the 3.17mm thick profiles (e.g., EX-R14).

2. How easy is this to cut?

   • Very easy. The thin gauge can typically be cut quickly and cleanly using a standard hacksaw or even high-quality tin snips (sheet metal shears).

3. Can I glue this profile down?

   • Yes. For non-structural applications like trim and cover plates, this flat bar can be easily bonded to surfaces using a strong construction adhesive (e.g., a liquid nail product) after cleaning the surface.
