Transport > Edge Trim Overview
 





 

Edge Trim components are used for noise deadening, gap filling and cushioning. They are used on safety devices including, seats and cabs of farm and garden tractors, and on boats and marine equipment.

Schlegel specializes in the manufacture of these flange mounted parts where the gripping plastic section is internally reinforced with our own wire carrier. This gripping section is formed into a U-shape and mounted on the flange where it protects and conceals unfinished edges. The gripping section can be combined with a sealing section made from semi-rigid PVC or polyethylene. When compressed, it eliminates air, water, dust and noise leaks around openings.

Schlegel's expertise in plastic forming allows for product variations to fit specific markets, for example, our embossed trim can closely match automotive interiors.

Characteristics
Edge Trim is mechanically attached using "gripping" edges for use in applications where adhesives are not advisable.

  • Elimination of holes in sheet metal reduces rust and since flange mounted seals are in continuous contact with the sheet metal they significantly reduce the possibility of leakage under the seal than when seals are attached intermittently with clips or pins.
  • Easy Installation for reduced labor costs.
  • No solvent is needed for installation.
  • Edge Trim is flexible in many directions to conform to curves and tight radii.
  • Attractive, decorative edges, with optional embossing which can match the unit's overall color scheme.
