Product Information

The most likely match for someone searching for plastic channel edging is what we call Plastic Channels. These edging profiles are similar in shape to Plastic Angle Trim, but they have an extra leg, with both legs being equal in length. Plastic channel edging is sometimes referred to as U Channel which reflects the shape of this profile. Plastic angle edge trim All our equal angle trim is shaped as a 90-degree right angle with two legs of the same length. This is our most popular style of plastic angle trim. The smallest equal size is 5mm and the largest is 100mm with many sizes in between. We also have unequal PVC angle trim if you require one leg to be shorter than the other. Is a plastic angle trim the same as a PVC angle trim?

Our plastic PVC angle trim is priced competitively on a like for like basis, for exactly the same product made with the same standard of quality. Some people searching for PVC edging strip need the profile to be similar to a plastic channel but with one leg longer than the other.

These products are similar and between them offer a range of size solutions for your plastic edging needs. Plastic edge trim – finding the right solution for you Plastic U channels can be used for many different applications. The most popular application is to use plastic U trim as a capping channel. PVC capping channel is demonstrated in this short video. Our Production Manager uses plastic capping channel to edge a damaged board to give it a neat and professional finish. If you select the correct size of plastic capping channel, one that has the correct internal width for your board size, it will easily slide onto the board you are using. Plastic capping channel will cover damaged, uneven and unsightly edges and can greatly reduce the risk of splinters for the areas it is covering. Industries that use PVC capping channel We have customers from almost every sector who use our right angle PVC trim, our range of customers is very broad. Sectors that use our plastic angle trim include fitout, construction, signage, builders, architects, hoardings, film studios, refrigerated vehicles and shopfitting to name but a few. Typically it is used as corner trim and corner protection because the angle of the trim is 90 degrees so the trim works well on corners and edges. But it can also offer many other solutions. Using a plastic angle as a corner trim We have been accredited with the British Environmental Standard ISO 14001 for nearly 20 years which means that our PVC channels are manufactured following an environmental management system. Every year our environmental management system is thoroughly audited by an external company, which includes our waste management and internal recycling processes, our impact on the environment, storage of raw materials and finished products, energy consumption and waste management. We have always taken our environmental responsibilities very seriously.Plastic angle trim is manufactured by an extrusion process. Raw materials in the form of compound are fed into an extruder machine. The compound is heated and the molten polymer is pushed through a die. The die is a tool used in manufacturing to form material to a desired shape of the plastic trim. In this case the shape is a 90-degree L shape angle. The plastic profile is held in shape by formers and goes through water baths as part of the cooling process. The plastic angle trim then hardens upon cooling. The PVC we use for our rigid plastic angle trims The reason this profile is called T section is because it looks like the capital letter T. The first measurement of the T section trim is the external width of the top. The smallest in the range is 13mm and the largest is 100mm. The second measurement is the straight stem which starts from midway along the top of the profile. The length of this stem varies between 8mm and 50mm. Plastic T section has a flat top with straight edges and smooth legs. Plastic T section applications We manufacture PVC angle trim in our UK factory and we are a member of the Made In Britain organisation. They enable buyers and consumers to identify a wide range of British-made products.

Plastic Angle Trim is often used as an edge strip because the shape makes it suitable for edging 90-degree corners. Often this will be used as a plastic edging strip on a wall, but it could also be other surfaces including boards, panels, sheeting and glass. Other forms of PVC edging strip Spacers and gap fillers, as the plastic strips can sit between two edges or slide underneath an edge to fill a gap. This material is different to our rigid plastic strips and we encourage you to request samples if you are unsure which material to choose. Solid plastic strips Our plastic flat strips are manufactured in PVC and are solid all the way through, both in terms of material and colour. We get asked sometimes if our flat strips are foiled, with the colour just being on the surface of the product. They are not foiled, they are high quality products and are a solid colour all the way through. Bendable plastic strips You are very welcome to get in touch if you require samples of PVC channel to help you decide which size of PVC U channel trim is suitable for you. Plastic U channel trim – available coloursPlastic U channel trim is one of our most popular extruded PVC profiles. U shaped plastic trim is used in many different applications across a wide range of industries. The reason it is often called U channel is because it has three sides and is a similar shape to the letter U. However the three sides on the plastic channel are straight with ninety-degree right angles, there are no curves. Plastic U channel has one open side which allows a board or panel to be inserted. Among other sizes, it is available in 5mm, 8mm, 10mm, 20mm, 25mm and 50mm. Our PVC angle trim is made in the UK from UK sourced raw materials. We produce high quality rigid PVC angle trim and are accredited with the British Quality Standard ISO 9001:2015 which offers peace of mind to our customers. This means our angle trim is of great quality. Manufactured in the UK Firstly, an explanation as to what uPVC actually means. PVC is an abbreviation for ‘polyvinyl chloride’ and ‘u’ is an abbreviation for ‘unplasticised.’ Therefore uPVC means the material is unplasticised polyvinyl chloride. Our plastic strips are manufactured from uPVC although it is important to point out the difference between the plastic material we use and the plastic material used by the double-glazing and widow industries. In those industries, additional stabilisers are often added to the uPVC, whereas our material is standard uPVC.
