Channel FAQs

We carry equal channels and unequal channels as part of our architectural shapes offering, along with related products such as angles and tees used in brass fabrication.

Equal channels have matching sides, while unequal channels have one side that differs in depth. That difference can help when a project calls for a channel shape with uneven coverage or a more specialized fit.

Brass channels have three sides that form a U-shaped profile, while brass angles form a simple 90-degree corner. Channels are often used to frame or hold panels, while angles are typically used for corner trim or structural edging.

Yes. Equal channels and unequal channels are often selected for exposed framing, trim details, bordered panels, and other finished brass features where appearance and fit both matter.
