What is a plastic J channel?

Plastic J channel is often used for edge protection purposes and for capping boards and panels. Plastic J channel strips are shaped rather like the capital letter ‘J’ but with straight sides rather than curved. They are similar to plastic channels where both legs are of equal length, whereas plastic J trim has one leg shorter than the other. Our plastic J channel trim is available in white and black and is made of rigid PVC

How is plastic J channel measured?

Plastic J channel trim has three important measurements. The first measurement is the internal width, which really means the size of the board or panel you are inserting into the J channel extrusion. The second measurement is the internal height and the third measurement is the overall thickness of the plastic J profile.
