Our trim is sold in 6 foot long lengths, and is considered an oversized package that has a higher shipping rate than smaller boxes. In October 2024, UPS has increased their oversized package surcharge by almost $30.00 on their ground packages. Consider choosing "USPS Ground Advantage," which is the post offices ground package service, as it should be much cheaper than UPS.
Our trim can also be shipped by UPS Next Day Air, but the oversize surcharge for UPS Next Day Air has also increased quite a bit. If you want to have some of our aluminum trim shipped Next Day Air, please call us! We will give you the exact quote over the phone, to make sure the rates are correct and current.
Our extruded aluminum trim is a great way to add some metal trim to your custom interior! Our Bullnose Aluminum Trim is 3/8" wide at the base, and 5/16" tall. The trim comes in 72" long strips. We use an aluminum alloy, 3003, that is easy to bend to bend and shape. The trim comes in the raw extruded finish. It is easy to polish for a shiny finish, or you can give it a brushed look with an abrasive pad. The trim has blunt ends, but the ends are easy to shape with a 3" angle grinder.
We recommend drilling a blind hole on the back of the trim using a 3/32" drill bit and using a blunt tip #4 sheet metal screw to attach them to your custom panel. Being a softer grade of aluminum, the trim only needs to be drilled, it does not need to be tapped. The sheet metal screws will "bite" into the aluminum trim, without deforming the trim.
We also sell packs of the #4 sheet metal screws, and a drilling fixture that helps you drill a hole in the center of the trim.
Right now, we only sell this trim in 72" long strips. Much longer than that, and the shipping gets VERY expensive! The trim can be tig welded together if you need longer pieces.
