J Channel finishes panel ends: screw the back leg to the wall, slide the panel into the pocket, and the front lip covers the cut edge for a clean line. Sized to your panel profile, in your gauge and color.

J channel is fabricated from steel and finished in your choice of standard or custom color with a durable factory paint finish. The substrate carries the mill’s coating; the paint finish carries the coating manufacturer’s warranty. Tell us your color and gauge and we’ll match the job.
