Edge trim covers the edges and corners to give a neat, high-end finish, increasing the durability and longevity of your countertop, table, bar, or shelving.

Anodized aluminum edge trim also protects flooring in high-traffic areas that are at a high risk of damage such as thresholds or any other place where there is a transition from tile to carpet, carpet to wood, or concrete resin to tile. It can also be used to excellent effect at expansion joints or simply as a decorative edging for stairs and podiums.

Aluminum edge trim molding also works well as a skirting board to finish flooring stripes and gives an elegant joint between the floor and the wall.
