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.

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. We have customers from almost every sector who use our right angle PVC trim, our range of customers is very broad.

Solid plastic strips 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 If you require thin plastic strip take a look at our range and see if we have a suitable size. It is possible for us to manufacture thin strips of plastic to other specifications but this would be custom production so is subject to much larger production runs, normally around 2000 metres. The minimum production runs would vary depending on the size of the profile and can be quoted upon request. uPVC strips - an explanation Rigid PVC strips are manufactured from a different material to our flexible plastic strips and we encourage you to request samples if you are unsure which material to choose.

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
