You can provide a dimensioned sketch or technical drawing of your required profile, and MKM Extrusions will review your requirements. Feedback would be given and if suitable a quotation provided. Once the proposal is approved, tooling is developed and samples would be sent to you for approval prior to starting the main production process.
The minimum order for custom production is usually 2,000 metres, but this depends on the size of the profile and would be included in the quote. For more information...

As tooling and production are handled in-house within the UK, MKM Extrusions can keep lead times relatively short and maintain a consistent level of quality. Standard plastic profiles, such as plastic angle trims, plastic channels and plastic flat strips, are available to order on their online shop in the colours black or white and the goods are shipped quickly across mainland UK. Timescales are given on the checkout page and if the goods are in stock they will be despatched and if out of stock...

MKM Extrusions manufactures profiles according to the customer’s drawings or technical requirements. You can submit a dimensioned sketch or detailed technical drawing, and MKM Extrusions will check the feasibility of the design and if suitable prepare a quotation. Once approved, tooling is produced and manufacturing begins in-house at our UK factory.
Production volumes for bespoke extrusions vary according to the size of the profile, and the minimum meterage will be included in the quotation. All...

Large-volume is a subjective quanity so we would advise you to contact MKM Extrusions with your requirements. Several factors would be considered including the complexity of the profile, the total meterage needed and the current length of our production queue. A realistic quotation including the timescale would be provided.
For extruded profiles in our stock range, there is a discount for ordering in multiples of 10 packs (each pack contains 75 metres). If you buy 10 packs of the same product code...

The term plastic trim describes linear plastic shapes with a consistent cross-section, produced through the extrusion process. These are also known as profiles, and can vary in shape such as angle trim, flat strip, U-channel or capping. At MKM Extrusions, most trims are made from rigid PVC, but for some shapes a flexible option is also available. The terms trim, profile, and extrusion are commonly used and - - July 24, 2025Rigid PVC trims are rigid like a ruler, but some shapes and sizes may flex over a long length.
PVC trims, such as those offered by MKM Extrusions, are mostly manufactured from external grade rigid PVC. Over longer lengths, they may flex slightly, but they are not soft and cannot be coiled. If bending is required, it is recommended to request a sample of the specific profile to test its properties before making a purchase. - - July 24, 2025Plastic trim can be cut using a fine toothed saw. Cutting slowly helps prevent chipping or cracking...
Plastic trim, whether rigid or flexible, can be cut with various tools depending on the type and thickness of the profile. For rigid PVC trims, a miter saw, handsaw or hacksaw with fine teeth is recommended. The finer the teeth, the cleaner the result. The trim should be properly secured during cutting, and it's important to use a slow, controlled motion. For flexible or thin profiles, a sharp utility - - July 24, 2025uPVC stands for unplasticised polyvinyl chloride, a rigid form of PVC commonly used extrusion applications...
Unlike flexible PVC, uPVC does not contain plasticisers, which makes it more rigid and stable. It is valued for its durability, weather resistance and low maintenance requirements. These properties make uPVC suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. At MKM Extrusions, many plastic trims and profiles are made from rigid PVC, which is also referred to as uPVC in certain contexts. Please read - - July 24, 2025Extrusion is a manufacturing process where heated plastic is pushed through a shaped die or tool to form continuous profiles...
In the extrusion process, raw plastic material is fed into a machine where it is melted. The molten plastic is then forced through a die or tool that determines the profile’s shape. As it exits the die, the material is cooled and cut to the desired length. This method is used to produce consistent, linear shapes like plastic angle trims, channels and other plastic profiles.
