Plastic angle trim is a versatile extruded profile which is often used in different ways for many types of application. As a result, it goes by several names, especially by potential customers who are searching for this product online. At MKM Extrusions, we use the terminology ‘Plastic Angle Trim.’ But other possibilities could include:
- PVC Angle: A popular term highlighting the material as well as the shape.
- Right Angle Trim or 90-degree Trim : Emphasises the 90-degree angle shape.
- Plastic Corner Guard: Often used for protecting and covering edges and corners.
- Plastic Edge Trim: Often used for finishing edges neatly.
- Plastic L Trim: Plastic trim shaped like the capital letter L.
These names describe the versatility of our plastic angle trim. It can be used for many different applications, such as corner protection, trimming, edging and beading. Depending on your application, your project could require a different type of plastic profile for any of these mentioned applications. For example, if you are looking for an edging solution then our plastic angle trim could be the right solution. However we also offer plastic channels, plastic flat bar strips, plastic J channels, plastic edge lipping or plastic capping which are sometimes used as an edging solution. If you have any doubts, please contact us for a sample.
PVC Angle
PVC Angle is a phrase which highlights the material which the profile is manufactured from, which is external grade rigid PVC. This type of PVC can both be used indoors and outdoors. PVC angles are often used for a wide range of applications, from protecting corners to creating clean, finished edges on panels and boards.
Right Angle Trim
Right Angle Trim emphasises the shape which is a 90-degree angle of the two legs. The legs could either be of equal or unequal length. Our rigid stock range can be used both for internal and external projects.
Corner Guard
Corner Guard is a name that highlights the protective function of plastic angle trim. This term is often used in commercial and industrial settings where preventing damage to corners is a priority. Corner guards can often be found in high-traffic areas. Please note that our plastic angle trim has a square rather than a rounded edge.
Edge Trim
Edge Trim focuses on the product's ability to finish edges. As well being used for protection purposes, edge trim may also hide rough or damaged areas depending on the size that is used. It can give you a neat professional finish in sectors such as fitout, signage and furniture manufacturing. Depending on your needs you could consider plastic channels, plastic flat bar strips, plastic J channels, plastic edge lipping or plastic capping which are also often used as an edging solution.
L Trim
L Trim is a straightforward description based on the shape of the profile, which is like the capital letter L. This term is useful for quick identification based on shape.
