I have been recently building the furniture for my van, I have realised that iron on edging is totally useless in a camper environment and chips too easily. I do not like the plastic T shaped edging that is normal but fancy a bit of retro alloy beading either U shaped or just flat, similar to old Splittie conversions? Does anyone know where I can buy this sort of edging? I cant seem to find any in this country? Aluminium strips are too hard to bend around the sharp corners. It is to fit around cupboard doors ( mine sit proud of the base unit) I want a bit of a retro look? Thanks
i have a long roll in my garage if you want to buy it i will take a pic ibought it and never used you can have it for £20 plus postage if interested but it is t trim that has to be cut in to the wood edge it is beech in colour
I am guessing this is the kind of thing but wider. http://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/c-115-pin-beading.aspx
These guys do all the Devon stuff, they do the trim at a good price http://www.caravan-supplies.co.uk/docs/accessories.htm
Mate you are a STAR!! Thats the one - I think its called Herzim?? TE7 14ft alloy table edge including black insert £23.60 Anyway been googling everywhere for this - even found it mentioned on a Routemaster Bus site but still no joy - will phone them now . Thanks Martin
Ordered - they seem like a proper old school place no frills just the stuff you need. I told them to update their website btw hehe They seem like very nice and know their stuff. Recommend Plus they must be good the guy is called Stan!
Got my edging very pleased with it. Simple enough to do. I covered the rear edge of my cupboard as below. The iron on edging was just not up to the job. So measure, cut, drill and countersink holes at regular places, scew to cupboard then place the black insert in hot water for a few mins to soften up, slot in and you are done. Cupboard door next on the list.
looks great, i'm a sucker for aluminum and chrome trim, it's all in the details and finish. I am trying to source old tram (street car?) aluminum trims, very much like the ones you are using.
Sven if you contact Caravan Supplies I am sure they could help you source some? http://www.caravan-supplies.co.uk/docs/accessories.htm There are lots of American companies that sell the sort of trim you are probably but try contacting UK Tram restoration enthusiasts for advice?
