What styles are commonly used for aluminum edge trim
The first thing we need to make clear is that the size, color and shape of metal decorative lines can be customized. Metal trim strip used in wall and ceiling molding are common: U-shaped, flat, T-shaped, Hat shape and L-shaped.
- U-shaped aluminum edge trim
U-shaped aluminum edge trim can only be made to measure 20mm, but the finished products can reach about 5mm (depending on the situation), and there are two kinds of situations: U-shaped with two equal sides and U-shaped with two different lengths.
The U-shape with two equal sides is used for the plane with no height difference between the left and right sides, so you can buy the finished products or customize them by measuring the length on site. The U-shaped aluminium edging trim with inconsistent lengths on both sides are often used in modeling closures with height differences between the left and right sides, and because of the uncertainty of height differences, most of them need to be measured and customized on site.
- Flat metal aluminum edge strip
Flat metal edge are not used much, there are completely flat ones, and there are also the ones with ground edges on both sides (the ground edges are often used in the surface of wood finish), and the common widths are 10mm, 15mm, 20mm and 35mm.

Flat aluminum edge strip are often used in the ceiling cove or directly attached to the wood veneer.
However, because the coating at the recess is not good for construction, it is often replaced by U-shaped aluminum trim strip (if it is a deep recess, the wide stainless steel sheet is usually used, such as stainless steel sheet commonly used in the drop ceiling with the width of 200㎜).
2）Use in wood finish
If it is used on the wood veneer (wall molding or cabinet door), it has the hidden danger of loosening, so it is not commonly used and not recommended, and the operation is as follows.
