{"product_id":"aluminium-lvt-edge-trim-27x6mm-end-profile-3mm-vinyl","title":"Aluminium LVT Edge Trim 27 x 6mm Square Edge End Profile for 3mm Vinyl","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen a run of 3 mm luxury vinyl tile stops at a doorway, finishes against a lower floor level or ends short of a wall, the cut edge of the vinyl is left exposed — and an exposed LVT edge is usually the first part of a floor to lift, chip and collect dirt. This 27 x 6 mm aluminium edge trim closes it off. A wide tapered plate bonds to the subfloor underneath the vinyl, and a shallow square channel along the front captures the cut tile edge, leaving a straight metal line where the floor finishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is worth being clear about what this profile is: an edging trim for flat floors. \u003cstrong\u003eIt is not a stair nosing.\u003c\/strong\u003e There is no anti-slip insert and no riser leg, and it is not designed to protect a step edge or to meet stair-edge visibility guidance. If you are edging a staircase, choose a purpose-made nosing instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOne plate to fix, one channel to finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe extrusion is deliberately asymmetric. Behind the visible edge, the 27 mm plate tapers from roughly 1 mm down to a feather edge, so it sits under the vinyl without telegraphing a ridge through the floor covering, and the underside carries fine keying serrations that give adhesive something to grip. At the front, the channel measures 6 mm across with 3 mm of internal clearance — sized for a 3 mm LVT plank or tile — and the outer face is square, standing 5.6 mm overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA square edge reads as a deliberate detail\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA square face gives a crisp shadow line rather than the soft ramp of a transition strip, which is what you want where a floor is meant to look finished rather than joined to something else. Because the visible aluminium is only 6 mm wide, the trim reads as a fine line around the edge of the floor rather than a bar laid across it. The tapered plate matters as much as the face: a thick, blunt-ended plate under a 3 mm plank will show as a bump long after the adhesive has gone off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMovement joints\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer also lists this profile for concealing movement — running it along a deliberate break in the floor so the joint is covered by metal rather than left as a visible gap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it's used\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer states the profile is suitable for light to medium foot traffic in commercial environments such as retail, hospitality and education, as well as domestic settings. In practice: LVT ending at a doorway or threshold; a vinyl floor finishing against screed, tile or carpet; the open edge of a raised or inset floor panel; and perimeter details where vinyl stops short of a wall, a unit plinth or a hearth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProfile type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLVT edge trim \/ end profile (not a stair nosing)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAluminium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverall plate width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e27 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverall height\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.6 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVisible top band\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChannel clearance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlate thickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 1 mm, tapering to a feather edge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuits floor covering\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 mm LVT \/ vinyl\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLengths\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.9 m, 1.8 m, 2.7 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinishes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBright Silver, Brushed Silver, Matt Silver, Bronze, Matt Black\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFixing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePre-drilled and countersunk; screws and dowels supplied\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTraffic rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight to medium — manufacturer stated\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnvironment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInternal.

The channel is a fixed 3 mm: a thinner plank will sit loose in it, and a thicker one will not enter at all.

Set the trim out and fix it down first, working to a clean, dry, sound and level substrate, then lay the vinyl into the channel so the cut edge is fully captured. Adhesive under the plate helps on boarded floors. Cut to length with a fine-tooth hacksaw and deburr the cut end before fitting. Clean with mild detergent and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive creams, scouring pads and solvents, which will dull the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use this on a stair edge?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It is a flat-floor edging trim with no anti-slip insert and no riser leg, and it is not made to take the wear or the foot loading a step edge sees.
