Why Your Retail Displays Need Aluminum Casework Trim

When designing storage and displays for commercial retail spaces, there are so many things to consider. While aesthetics is an important part of attracting customers, another equally important consideration is the durability to withstand the heavy use that comes with retail traffic. Aluminum edge trim is built to address these concerns, and more. For instance, aluminum casework trims, such as corner trim, radiused corner trim, and face caps, are ideal for architectural applications and display cases. So, whether you’re looking to build a custom retail display case, a free-standing kiosk, or cabinetry and storage solutions, casework trim is an essential component for meeting the needs of commercial spaces.

What are the Benefits of Using Aluminum for Casework Trim?

There are several reasons why aluminum is used in a broad array of industries, including architecture, signage and retail. Aluminum, Earth’s third most abundant metal, is soft and ductile by nature, making it perfect for extruding into an unlimited number of shapes. Aluminum material can be finished with a variety of colors and textures including anodizing, powder coating, buffing, polishing, and painting just to name a few. Additionally, when it comes to designing retail displays and casework, aluminum trims look better and last longer than their plastic alternatives.

What Profiles Are Available for Aluminum Casework Trim?

Eagle Aluminum offers a variety of casework profiles available for finishing edges of retail displays, check-out counters, and storage cabinets built with standard .75″ material. The three main categories of casework profiles are 90° outside corner trim, acute and obtuse outside corner trim, and face/end caps.

  • 90° Outside Corners – these casework trims are used where two 45° corners meet to form a right angle. Different corner styles include straight corners, radiused/rounded corners, and reveal corners.
  • Acute and Obtuse Outside Corners – casework displays that are any shape besides rectangular need a specialized corner trim to finish them properly. Eagle Aluminum offers outside corner trims in 60°, 120°, and 135°, providing freedom to create an almost limitless number of possible configurations.
  • Face/End Caps – designed for finishing the edges of shelf material in display cases or capping the tops and bottoms of commercial cabinetry, these profiles are available with both straight and rounded edges.
