OUTWATER Black 1/2-Inch Styrene U-Channel / C-Channel, 48-Inch Lengths (Pack of 3)

Overview

OUTWATER’s black one-half inch styrene U-channel/C-channel is a versatile, economical finish for edge protection and decorative edging on a wide range of panels and displays. Crafted from rigid styrene, it delivers a clean matte black edge with scratch resistance, making it a practical alternative to metal mouldings for POP displays, shelving, posters, and signage. The design includes two symmetrical legs with a slight taper that grip panel edges securely, often without adhesive, enabling quick, tool-light installation on site. A key benefit is the elimination of filing raw edges, helping workers save time and reduce material waste.
