Benefits of U Channel Edging

How to Install U Channel Edging

Installing U channel edging requires careful planning and execution:1. Preparation:
* Clean the furniture edge and ensure it is free from dust and debris.
* Apply adhesive to the channel's flange.
2. Insertion:
* Align the U channel with the edge of the furniture and press it into place.
* Use a rubber mallet or clamp to secure the channel.
3. Trimming:
* Trim the excess channel material flush with the furniture surface.
4. Finishing:
* Clean up any excess adhesive and polish the channel for a smooth finish.

Choosing the Right U Channel

When selecting a U channel, consider the following factors:* Material: U channels are commonly made from PVC, aluminum, or wood. Choose a material that matches the furniture's aesthetics and performance requirements.
* Size: The width and depth of the channel should be appropriate for the thickness of the furniture edge.
* Design: Different U channel designs can provide varying levels of edge protection and appearance. Select a design that suits your needs.

Adhesives for U Channel Edging

The choice of adhesive is crucial for the successful installation of U channel edging. We recommend using a high-quality adhesive specifically designed for this purpose, such as:* Contact Cement: Provides a strong and durable bond with both the channel and the furniture surface.
* Hot Melt Adhesives: Offers quick and efficient bonding, but requires specialized equipment.
* Water-Based Adhesives: Environmentally friendly and easy to use, but may not provide the same level of strength as other adhesives.
