Plastic U-Channels: Applications, Industries & Materials
What is a Plastic U‑Channel?
Plastic U‑Channels are also called edge trim connectors. They feature a profile design that lends itself to decorative frames, is an ideal graphic holder, and can also provide a protective/insulator edge for your conductor or bus bars. This U-shaped edge trim can also be used for shower doors, store fixture shelving, retail display end caps and signage.
Our U-shaped channels come in a variety of high-quality and durable materials, such as HDPE, Polycarbonate, and Rigid PVC plastic. When you pair these extruded PVC U‑Channel strips with double sided adhesive tape, it creates very appealing store displays and label holders.
U‑Channel moulding is sometimes mistaken for C‑Channels, but C-shaped plastic trim is shorter than the width of the bottom of the channel. Furthermore, if you are looking for a double-sided U‑channel, check out our H‑Channel connectors.
What about Custom Plastic U‑Channels?
Our selection of plastic extrusions come in matte black, white or even clear plastic edge trim. If you can’t find what you are looking for, or need something a little bit more custom, even a very specific qty or size (even inch lengths), checkout our Custom Plastic Extrusions page for even more high-quality plastic extrusions to fit any panel or wall thickness!
