Rubber United supplies plain edge trim profiles for automotive, commercial vehicle and industrial fabrication projects across South Africa. Our range includes flexible PVC rubber edge trim profiles designed to protect exposed edges on metal panels, fibre glass components and industrial enclosures.
These profiles help reduce wear, vibration and edge damage while also creating a clean and professional finish. In addition, many profiles in this range are UV and weather resistant, making them suitable for demanding indoor and outdoor environments. Most profiles also feature steel reinforcement for improved grip and long term durability.
The range is supplied in convenient 50 metre rolls for wholesale and industrial use. Furthermore, these rubber edge trim profiles are suitable for trailers, canopies, truck bodies, sheet metal installations and industrial fabrication projects.
What is Plain Edge Trim?
Plain edge trim is a flexible edge protection profile that fits securely over exposed metal, fibre glass and plastic edges. These profiles help improve safety, reduce friction and protect panel edges against wear caused by constant movement and vibration.
Unlike pinch weld seals, plain edge trim focuses on edge protection and finishing rather than compression sealing. As a result, these profiles are widely used in automotive and industrial applications where exposed edges require additional protection.
