Prime Steel Channel

Channel, sometimes called channel iron or structural steel channel, is a rolled steel iron bar featuring a C or U shape. It consists of a wide web (broader side) and two perpendicular flanges (narrow sides) that join at right angles. The inside corners of the steel channels offer enhanced strength and rigidity while the channel shape offers superior structural support. 

As your premier steel channel supplier, Texas Iron & Metal stocks all different sizes of both prime and surplus steel channel for sale, including standard, bar, and miscellaneous channels. Regardless of the structural load or application, we have the steel channel products for your project!
