Fabrication Seals & Trims
Seals Direct specialise in the supply and manufacture of standard and bespoke sections for use within the fabrication industry. Our clients regularly use our products for safety protection, such as covering sharp edges and cushioning surfaces, as well as creating watertight seals on doors, cabinets and lockers. Our extensive range of standard products allows us to find a solution for your project allowing for any specific requirements. The majority of our standard sections are available in small and large quantities, and available for next working day delivery from our UK based warehouse.
As an original equipment manufacturer we are able to work alongside you in the production of bespoke sections for your goods and equipment. We have the facilities to design and manufacture custom extrusions and gaskets to suit your application in a range of materials, colours and hardness.
Common Fabrication Seals & Trims
Edge Trims
Edge trims are frequently used for protecting sharp and uneven edges in fabrication applications. We stock an extensive range of titanfast edge trims with metal and plastic reinforcements in a range of sizes for different panel thicknesses.
Top and Side Seals
Our edge trims can be supplied with a top or side sponge sealing bulb. These profiles are often used to create a watertight seal on doors, cabinets and lockers and are available in a huge selection of shapes and sizes.
U Channels
U channels, available with either a round or square bottom, are commonly used for protecting edges on panels, doors and glass. Our U channels are available in a range of sizes for different panel thicknesses and channels.
Sponge Profiles
Sponge profiles are regularly used for creating a watertight seal but are frequently used for decorative purposes to cover edges, joins and cuts. These profiles are either closed-cell (with a sponge like appearance) or skinned (with a shiny smooth appearance).
Sponge Strip and Sheet
Our sponge strip is used where you require easy compression between two surfaces. Sponge strips are available in a wide range of shapes and sizes, with or without self-adhesive backing.
Rubber Extrusions
These sections are available in a range of shapes and sizes and can be used for sealing or decorative applications such as making temporarily window seals and covering edges.
Custom Extrusions and Gaskets
If
your requirements cannot be met by one of our standard products, we are able to
manufacture bespoke sections and gaskets from a sample or technical drawing.
Materials
All of our sections and gaskets are manufactured using high quality compounds to ensure they provide a long term and hard wearing sealing solution. We have the facilities to extrude sections in EPDM, Neoprene, Natural Rubber, Nitrile, PVC, Silicone and Viton but are able to assist with any other material you require for your project. Depending on the required material, we have the option of manufacturing both sponge and solid profiles in the necessary density or hardness. These rubber compounds are available in general purpose commercial grades as well as compounds manufactured to British Standards.
Bespoke Fabrication Seals & Trims
We offer a bespoke design and manufacturing service if your sealing requirements cannot be met by one of our standard products. Our 3D CAD facilities allow us to work directly with Design Engineers to identify the best sealing solution for your project. We are able to reverse engineer your existing seal or drawing and extrude an exact replica in a variety of materials, colours and hardnesses. Minimum production runs are as low as 30 metres depending on the required material and construction.
Seals Direct are also a leading supplier of bespoke mouldings and gaskets. Depending on the seal and application our rubber mouldings are manufactured using either compression or injection moulding in a variety of materials and hardnesses. We are able to stamp bespoke gaskets from both sponge and solid materials from one off to large production runs.
