This U profile edge trim slides over the edge to cover it, giving a clean metal line and protecting it from knocks. Every size comes in a 1m length and is easy to cut to size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChoose from eight sizes, from a slim 6 x 6 mm U trim for thin sheets and acrylic, up to 25 x 15 mm for thicker panels. The 20 x 10 x 1 mm size has an inside gap of about 18mm, which suits standard 18mm boards, and the heavy 20 x 10 x 1.5 mm version gives a stiffer channel with a thicker wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe natural mill finish is plain, unfinished aluminium. It can be used as it is for a raw metal look, or painted or treated to suit your project. Prefer a coloured plastic version?
