Applications

Edge protection strips are used in a wide range of applications and industries to cover sharp or raw edges on panels and doors. Protection is provided both to the door or panel edge and against injury or damage that the sharp edges may cause. Using these edge protectors also provides a neat finish or decorative effect to an end product. When used with sheet metal material these edge protectors help to reduce noise, wear and tear resulting from vibration. Edge protection strips can be used on plastics and metal work in both industrial and commercial applications and are commonly used in the automotive industry as automotive trimmings.
