Plastic trim is an extruded profile which is usually made from rigid plastic, used to cover, protect, or finish edges and surfaces...
Most plastic trims produced by MKM Extrusions are made from rigid PVC, and they are all manufactured with the extrusion process. This involves forcing molten PVC raw materials through a shaped die to create continuous profiles with a fixed cross-section. These trims are available in different shapes, including angle trim, flat strips, and channels. They are often used

A plastic angle is a 90-degree L shaped profile made from rigid PVC, often used to protect or finish corners and edges...
Plastic angles are extruded profiles with a fixed 90-degree shape. They are commonly used in applications where basic edge protection or corner finishing is needed. These profiles can help reduce wear on exposed edges and offer a clean, uniform appearance. At MKM Extrusions, plastic angles are made from external grade rigid PVC, which makes them suitable for both indoor and outdoor

Use a fine-toothed saw to cut PVC edge trim cleanly. The finer the teeth, the better the result...
PVC edge trim typically refers to rigid plastic profiles such as angle trims, flat strips or other types of edging profiles. These are mostly manufactured from rigid PVC, which requires a steady and controlled cutting method. A saw with fine teeth helps produce a cleaner cut and reduces the risk of chipping or cracking. If the trim is a small size and manufactured from softer flexible PVC, a sharp utility

Moulding and extrusion are different types of manufacturing processes which shape raw materials and they are often confused...
Molding involves filling a mould with molten raw material, which cools and solidifies, resulting in a 3D product. Extrusion pushes raw molten material through a die/tool, resulting in a continuous length which are called profiles. Molding pushes out of the tool, and extrusion pushes through. As simple explanation is that spagetti is extruded (pushed through) and a chocolate

PVC angle trim can be cut using a fine-toothed saw. Cutting slowly helps reduce the risk of chipping.
PVC angle trims have a rigid 90-degree shape and are made from external grade rigid PVC. To achieve a clean result, it’s best to use a fine-toothed saw. The finer the teeth, the smoother the cut. Always secure the trim properly before cutting, and move the blade through the material with a steady, controlled motion. For very thin profiles, a fine-toothed handsaw or hacksaw could be considered.

PVC trim is a plastic profile made from rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC), often shaped through the extrusion process into a consistent cross-section...
PVC trim, also known as a profile, is created by heating PVC raw materials and forcing it through a shaped die in a process called extrusion. This produces continuous lengths of plastic with a uniform shape, such as angles, flats or channels. At MKM Extrusion the rigid PVC trims are made from external grade PVC, which makes them suitable for both indoor

PVC edge trim is a plastic profile made from rigid PVC, often used for applications where a finished or protected edge is required...
PVC edge trim is not one specific shape but refers to a group of profiles commonly used for edging purposes. This can include angle trims, flat strips, channels or capping profiles. The profile used will depend on how and where the edge needs to be covered. At MKM Extrusions most edge trims are made from rigid PVC, produced through the extrusion process into consistent

Plastic trim can be attached using self-adhesive tape, glue, or mechanical fixing, depending on the application...
There are three main methods to be considered for fixing plastic trim into position: 1. Self-Adhesive Tape Our stock profiles do not come with adhesive tape. For larger custom production runs it may be possible to apply double-sided tape to the trim during the manufacturing process. This method provides an invisible bond without visible screws or fasteners. The choice of tape depends on

Plastic angle trim could potentially be fixed using self-adhesive tape, glue or through mechanical fixing, depending on the situation...
There are several options to attach plastic angle trim, including self-adhesive tape, glue, and mechanical fixings such as screws. The choice depends on the surface, the environment, and whether the fix should be visible or hidden. For custom productions, MKM Extrusions may be able to apply self-adhesive tape during the extrusion process. For stock profiles, customers

PVC corner trim may potentially be attached using glue, self-adhesive tape, or mechanical fixing such as screws...
There are several ways to fix PVC corner trim, depending on the surface and specific application. Glue can be used in some situations after consulting an adhesive specialist to check for suitability. Self-adhesive tape is another option, and could possibly be applied during the manufacturing process for larger orders which are eligible for a custom production run. Mechanical fixing, for
