Steel C-Channel Tabletop Reinforcement Bar

About this product

This steel C-Channel reinforcement bar bolts to the underside of a solid slab tabletop, helping reduce warping, cupping and splitting as the wood moves. It suits large indoor or outdoor table slabs and is sold as one bar.

Slotted holes let the bar move with the timber during expansion and contraction, rather than restricting the boards. The 3mm wall provides support for the tabletop, while the 0.5mm internal radius allows the channel to be routed flush into the underside in one pass when a flat-bottomed finish is required.

It is a preventative support for new builds. It will not straighten timber that has already moved. Finishes such as oil, paint and varnish do not provide structural support.

The C-Channel section measures 18 x 40mm. It has a satin powder-coated finish and comes in Black or White, with lengths of 55cm, 68cm, 83cm or 100cm.
