Pack of 4 Outwater Aluminum J Channels - Mixed Feelings

As a contractor, I have used Outwater's aluminum products for quite some time and have never been disappointed. However, this pack of 4 aluminum J channels for 1/16 inch mill finish aluminum cap moulding failed to meet my expectations. The 36-inch length of these J channels is suitable for most applications, but the product arrived with noticeable scratches and marks. I had to spend time sanding and polishing to get them to an acceptable level. The J channels themselves are well-made and sturdy, and the mill finish aluminum cap moulding snaps on easily. Unfortunately, the biggest downside is the inconsistency in lengths. As someone who needs precise cuts, it's frustrating to find that some of the channels were shorter than 36 inches. Overall, these aluminum J channels are okay, but they are not up to Outwater's usual high standards. The scratches and inconsistent lengths were disappointing, but the product's sturdiness is a plus. I recommend buying these channels only if you have no other options.

Pros
  • The Outwater Aluminum J Channels are made of high-quality materials that ensure lasting durability. This makes them perfect for use in areas with high traffic or exposure to harsh weather conditions
Cons
  • Prone to denting and scratching: Aluminum is a fairly soft metal, and the Outwater J Channels may be susceptible to denting or scratching, particularly when exposed to regular wear and tear. This can affect the aesthetic appeal of the moulding, particularly if it is located in a high traffic area
