Seals & Trims For Renewable Energy Projects

Seals Direct supplies and manufactures a wide range of rubber seals, trims, and gaskets designed for use across the renewable energy industry, including solar, wind, hydroelectric, and energy storage applications. Protecting the mechanical integrity and performance of renewable systems is important to maintaining efficiency and reliability over long operational lifespans.

Our rubber profiles are used extensively throughout the renewable energy sector to enhance the durability and appearance of key system components. They provide effective edge protection for metal frames, housings, and enclosures, as well as environmental sealing between adjoining panels or structures. These seals help prevent moisture ingress, limit dust accumulation, and reduce vibration — common challenges faced in installations exposed to wind loading, rain, or constant mechanical movement.

We can also supply a range of products tested to TS EN ISO 4892-2 (Xenon Arc Lamp Method). This tests a products resistance to UV degradation and looks to assess how a product will perform when exposed to demanding outdoor environments. Parts with this certification are ideally suited for outdoor renewable energy projects and guarantee long-lasting performance.

Our sealing and edging solutions are trusted by OEMs, EPC contractors, and energy developers working across the renewable energy landscape. From large-scale wind farms and solar parks to hydroelectric systems and battery storage facilities, we combine technical expertise with reliable product quality to meet the expectations of modern renewable energy engineering.

With years of experience supporting this sector, we regularly assist both maintenance engineers and system designers in sourcing appropriate sealing solutions for new builds or refurbishment projects. Many of our standard profiles are held in stock at our Hampshire-based warehouse and available for next working day dispatch. For more specialised requirements, we can manufacture seals and trims in a variety of materials and hardnesses to meet precise application needs.

If you are specifying materials for a renewable energy project, our technical team can help identify the most suitable profile, size, and material. We can supply samples, technical data sheets, and installation advice to ensure your sealing solution performs as intended in its operating environment.

Although every renewable energy project has unique requirements, our products are commonly used in applications such as frame and housing protection, panel gap sealing, and environmental isolation for equipment and enclosures. Examples include U-channel edge trims for turbine components, rubber sealing strips for photovoltaic panels, and gaskets for electrical or control housings. Many of these products are manufactured from UV-stable EPDM or tested to TS EN ISO 4892-2 to guarantee long-term outdoor performance.

The renewable energy sector often requires tailored solutions to meet unique design and performance challenges. At Seals Direct, we provide a bespoke design and manufacturing service to produce custom seals, trims, and gaskets to exact specifications.

Our in-house 3D CAD facilities allow our team to collaborate directly with design engineers, project managers, and manufacturers to develop new profiles for wind turbine housings, solar racking systems, and electrical enclosures. We consider every factor — from exposure conditions and thermal movement to assembly tolerances and ease of installation — when creating a product that fits your specific needs.

If a seal already exists within your system, we can reverse engineer the original part and reproduce it precisely in your choice of material, colour, and hardness. Minimum production quantities start from 30 metres, depending on the construction and compound used, allowing us to support both prototype and full-scale production runs.

Alongside our extruded profiles, Seals Direct also manufactures custom rubber mouldings and gaskets for the renewable energy industry. Using compression or injection moulding, we produce components with consistent accuracy and quality. Bespoke gaskets can be cut from solid or sponge materials, with flexible options ranging from one-off parts to high-volume manufacture.

From custom edge trims for turbine housings to precision sealing gaskets for control cabinets and energy storage units, our team provides the technical knowledge and manufacturing capability required to deliver dependable, long-term sealing solutions for the renewable energy sector.
