aluminum alloy edge strip

The aluminum alloy edge strip is also called the edge strip. It is a metal strip pasted with bark to cover the seam after the furniture veneer, which mainly plays the role of cover seam.



Aluminum alloy edge strips are made of pure aluminum plus alloy elements such as manganese and magnesium, and extruded. It has light weight, corrosion resistance, wear resistance and other characteristics. Its surface has a bright metallic luster after anodizing and coloring treatment, which is light and weather resistant. However, pay special attention to these two major issues during construction:

Note one:

Inspection and confirmation before construction
Before construction of aluminum alloy edge strips, check the surface for scratches, deformations, etc., and also confirm whether the color, size, and specifications of the edge strips match the needs of the site, and they can be started before construction.

Note two:

Prevent acid and alkali corrosion
Metal materials are corroded, as are aluminum edge trims.
At present, there are many tile adhesives and caulks on the market that contain relatively high alkaline substances. After mixing these types of tile adhesives and caulks with water, they will adhere to the surface of the edge strip, which will cause corrosion to the plating layer. After a long chemical reaction, the crystalline substance on the surface of the edge strip will gradually appear and cannot be cleaned. In the later remediation, the surface can only be polished and re-sprayed. In severe cases, the edge strip can only be removed and re-applied. Installation increased construction costs and delayed construction.
Aluminum edge trims are mostly used on the wall. When using it on the ground, try to choose the natural color of aluminum to prevent hard objects from scratching the plating layer.

Due to the variety of colors, patterns, styles, and specifications, aluminum alloy edge strips have a very high plasticity and can be widely used in various places. Because it is made of metal, it is necessary to have certain expertise in installation and maintenance during and after construction. Once the wrong construction tool or construction material is selected, it will cause irreparable losses to the edge strip.
