Kedla Aluminium T-Bar 25 mm x 25,5 mm x 1.58 mm x 2.5 m: EX-R40 Profile, Small Lightweight Joining and Trim

The Small Profile for Jointing and Light Framing

 

The Kedla Aluminium T-Bar (Profile EX-R40) is a versatile, lightweight profile used primarily for joining panels, providing edge protection, and constructing small, neat frames. Manufactured by Kedla and typically supplied through Castor & Ladder Supply, this T-Bar features both a 12.7 mm web and a 12.7 mm flange with a thin 1.58 mm thickness. Its balanced dimensions make it an excellent choice for concealing seams or providing light support where a 90-degree angle is not suitable.

Provided in a convenient 2.5-metre length, this T-Bar is lightweight, easy to handle, and exceptionally simple to cut and secure. Crafted from high-quality aluminium, it offers excellent natural corrosion resistance, ensuring its durability and clean appearance in both interior and exterior covered environments. It is competitively priced and highly useful for detailed finishing and bespoke fabrication.

Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 

1. Is the T-Bar a structural component?

   • No. Due to its small size and thin 1.58mm thickness, this T-Bar is designed for trim, finishing, and non-structural joining only. It has a very low load-bearing capacity.

2. How do I install the T-Bar over a seam?

   • The most common method is to use a strong construction adhesive along the underside of the flange and the web, pressing it firmly into the joint. Small panel pins can also be used if the material underneath is wood.

3. What is the difference between this and a Flat Bar?

   • The T-Bar provides two axes of stability (the web and the flange), making it more rigid than a flat bar of the same size, especially when used to span a small gap.
