In the mouldings product group you will find mouldings intended for protecting and finishing boat surfaces: stainless steel moulding 25mm in 3.05m length, stainless steel moulding 19mm in the same length, black edge moulding 9x14mm 3m, black edge moulding 9x14.5mm 10m, black edge moulding 11x17mm in both 5m and 3m lengths.
Edge strips and protective strips are installed on the edges of the boat's hull, at the seams of deck structures or other areas where both visual finishing and protection from abrasion and bumps are needed - stainless steel strip is a durable and stylish choice for visible metal edges, while plastic edge strips are a more flexible and affordable solution for longer, more winding edges, such as deck structure seams. The width and profile of the strip should be chosen depending on the type of edge or seam being protected - a narrower strip is suitable for thinner edges, while a wider profile covers a larger seam better or provides more protection from impacts. Longer rolls (such as a 10m edge strip) are more cost-effective for larger boats or for treating several areas at the same time, while shorter pieces are sufficient for smaller repair areas. The strips are usually attached with glue or rivets, depending on the installation location.
The method of attaching the strip (glue or rivets) should be chosen according to the material of the installation site – adhesive fastening is suitable for smooth, clean surfaces, while rivets are a more reliable choice for sites exposed to constant mechanical stress. Before installation, the surface should always be carefully cleaned of grease and dirt so that the adhesive attachment lasts a long time and the strip does not come off during the first season.
The color of the edge trim (usually black) blends in discreetly with most boat structures, but the stainless steel trim gives a more visible, metallic finish to more prominent areas. Longer rolls save money if you need trim for several areas of the boat at the same time.
Moldings are a small but striking detail that completes the boat's appearance while protecting the structures from wear and tear.
The correct installation temperature of the edge strip affects the success of the adhesive attachment – ??a strip installed in too cold or damp conditions will not adhere as well as one installed in warm and dry conditions. It is advisable to bend the stainless steel strip carefully before installation so that the surface is not scratched during bending.
Regularly checking the list will reveal any potential detachment in time before the damage has time to spread to a wider area.
The range of mouldings covers both metal and plastic options, so there is a suitable solution for both showy and inconspicuous locations.
