Rubber Edge Trims

Rubber edge trims are essential components for protecting and finishing sharp exposed edges across various industries. At Vital Parts, we offer a comprehensive range of rubber edging protection. This includes square and U-channel profiles, with both designed to meet the diverse application needs of our customers.

Applications Across Industries

Our rubber edge trims offer protection across a variety of UK industries, including:

Automotive: Where they are ideal for sealing and protecting vehicle doors, windows, and trunk edges, helping to prevent damage and reducing noise.

Construction: Often used to safeguard sharp edges on metal panels, glass, and other materials, enhancing safety and providing a clean, smart finish.

Marine: EPDM offers high resistance to both saltwater and UV exposure, this makes it a suitable product for protecting edges on boats and marine equipment.

Industrial Manufacturing: Many of our commercial customers install rubber edging protection to heavy plant machinery and equipment. This helps to protect edges from wear and tear, maximise the longevity of the equipment and ensure safety and safety compliance.

Advantages of EPDM Rubber

EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber provides exceptional durability, resistance and flexibility:

Weather Resistance: EPDM exhibits a strong resistance to UV, ozone, saline and weather, making it suitable for use in outdoor applications.

Chemical Resistance: It is also stable towards fireproof hydraulic fluids, ketones, hot and cold water, alkalis, heat and steam. This provides reliable durability even in harsh industrial environments.

Flexibility: EPDM maintains its elasticity across a wide temperature range, providing reliable, reusable sealing and protection.

Durability: Its robust nature ensures long-term performance, reducing the need for frequent replacements and ensuring a good return on investment.

Key Selling Points

Versatility: Available in square and U-channel profiles, our rubber edge trims cater to a wide array of applications, offering solutions for different edge protection needs across both domestic and commercial applications.

Easy Installation: Designed for straightforward application, edge trims are quick and easy to fit onto edges without the use of any specialised tools or glues.

Enhanced Safety: By covering sharp or unfinished edges, they minimise the risk of injury, creating safer environments and ensuring compliance with workplace health and safety laws.

Aesthetic Appeal: Rubber edging protection adds a clean and professional finish to an application. Our edge trims enhance the aesthetics of your project, with a smart black trim.

Square vs. U-Channel Profiles

Understanding the differences between square and U-channel profiles is crucial for selecting the appropriate edge trim:

Square Profile: Features a flat design, square edge trims are ideal for applications that need a flush finish. They are generally used to protect flat surfaces that have a neat edge.

U-Channel Profile: With a U-shaped design, these trims are perfect for encasing edges, providing a snug fit all around the material. They are the preferred choice for covering exposed edges on panels, offering both protection and a clean finished look.

By offering both profiles, we ensure that you have the flexibility to choose the best solution for your specific requirements. Remember to check the line drawings of the different profiles, to help understand the best type of fit for your application.

EPDM rubber edge trims offer reliable protection and enhanced appearance for domestic, commercial and industrial applications. With the choice of square and U-channel profiles, you can select the ideal trim to meet your needs. We are also able to provide custom sizing, materials and roll lengths on request.
