Get C Channels for Your Project Today

C channels are a standardized channel section usually made from hot-rolled steel and used in industrial and commercial construction, as well as the building of machinery and equipment. Because of its versatility and smaller size, it’s also commonly used to create the box-like frame for automotive manufacturing. This also allows it to withstand flexing that could break I-beams or H-beams while reducing the weight of structures at the same time.

With locations throughout the Gulf Coast and Midwest, our warehouses can get you the steel channels you need, quickly and competitively priced. Fill out this form or call our team directly to get a fast and free quote for your next project.

C CHANNEL STEEL: FAQS

Steel C channels, or standard channels, are structural steel profiles with a C-shaped cross section that have a wide web with two perpendicular flanges that join at right angles. They provide structural stability and support due to their strength and versatility.

C channels are incredibly versatile and depending on their size and steel type can be used for bridge decks, automotive frames, wall studs, rafters, door frames, and much more. Their strength and light weight make them an ideal choice for a variety of applications where I-beams or other large and bulky structural steel won’t fit.

C channels are measured by their dimensions, typically specifying width, depth, and thickness. For example, a designation like “C6x13” indicates a C-channel with a nominal depth of 6 inches and a weight of 13 pounds per foot.
