Plastic angle trims are a widely used component used in many types of projects, in sectors including fitout, construction, signage, exhibitions and events. They can offer both functional and aesthetic benefits. At MKM Extrusions, we understand that you may have specific questions regarding our plastic angle trim profiles. Below, we have compiled answers to some of the most frequently asked questions to assist you in making informed decisions.
The questions we will address in this blog are:
- What type of plastic do you use to produce plastic angle trims?
- What sizes are available for plastic angle trims?
- In which colours are your plastic angle trim available?
- What is the best way to fix a plastic angle trim?
- Are samples available for plastic angle trims?
1. What type of plastic do you use to produce plastic angle trims?
Our plastic angle trim is manufactured from external grade rigid PVC, which means it can both be used for both indoor and outdoor applications. Our profiles are sold in 75 metre packs, and each pack of plastic angle trim contains 25 lengths of 3 metres.
2. What sizes are available for plastic angle trims?
We offer plastic angle trim in many different sizes. Our online shop contains approximately 45 different size variations. Plastic L shaped angle trims are specified by the two external depths and thickness. We offer plastic angle trim with either equal or unequal legs. The sizes we offer range from an external depth of 5mm to 100mm.
3. In which colours is your plastic angle trim available?
All the plastic angle trims that are listed in our online shop are available in two colours: black and white. If you require a different colour, then this is also possible for larger orders. This would be a custom order which requires a minimum production run of 2000 metres. Just let us know which RAL colour you require and the size of the profile and we will email you a custom quote.
4. What is the best way to fix a plastic angle trim?
There are three ways to fix plastic angle trim: self-adhesive tape, glue and mechanical fixing such as rivets or screws. The best way to do this depends on your project. For custom plastic extrusions we may be able to apply tape to the angle trim during the manufacturing process. If you wish to fix your plastic angle trim with glue, then we recommend that you contact an adhesive specialist for advice telling them that our rigid PVC is calcium zinc stabilised. You can download our material data sheets which will provide technical information about the raw material properties. Please note that data sheets are not for the finished product.

5. Are samples available for plastic angle trims?
Yes, you can request free samples of our plastic angle trims. Just send us an email to [email protected] with your address and the product codes of the plastic profiles you are interested in. We will then post you the samples. The samples are pre-cut and are approximately 10 - 15cm in length. This will allow you to check the profile dimensions and colour.
