Description
The White 10mm Wall Panel End Cap 2400mm is a finishing trim designed to provide a professional, clean, and sealed edge to the sides of 10mm thick wall panels.
It is often referred to as a U-Trim, J-Trim, or Starter Trim due to its profile shape.
Here is a detailed description of its features and typical application:
Function and Profile:
- Profile Shape (End Cap / U-Trim): The trim is shaped like a ‘U’ or ‘J’ in cross-section. The panel slides snugly into the open channel, while the flat face covers the front edge.
- Primary Purpose: To cap or finish the raw, cut, or exposed edge of a wall panel where it meets an obstacle, such as:
- A door frame or window reveal.
- The end of a wall run (where the panel finishes against a bare painted wall).
- A ceiling or floor edge (though a different trim type may be preferred for the base).
- Result: It protects the panel edge, hides the internal structure of the panel, and creates a neat, aesthetically pleasing termination point.
Key Features and Specifications:
| Feature | Specification / Detail |
| Profile Type | End Cap Trim (also known as U-Trim, J-Trim, or Starter Trim). |
| Material | Typically PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) or sometimes Aluminium, finished with a Chrome Foil Overlay or a Bright Silver/Metallic coating. |
| Finish | White Effect. Provides a modern, reflective edge to complement bathroom fixtures. |
| Length | 2400mm (2.4 meters). This is a standard length suitable for vertical installation on most walls. |
| Thickness/Compatibility | Designed for use with 10mm thick wall panels (e.g., PVC shower panels or wet wall panels). |
| Waterproofing | Essential for use in wet areas. The trim forms a channel that, when properly filled with silicone sealant before fitting, creates a watertight, hygienic seal against moisture ingress. |
| Aesthetic Benefit | Provides a seamless, tidy, and high-end look without the need for excessive visible sealant along the panel’s edge. |
| Installation | Easy to cut to size (using a fine-toothed saw) and is usually fitted using a solvent-free adhesive or silicone sealant. |
