Is rubber edge trim waterproof?

Yes. Our EPDM rubber edge trim is waterproof, weatherproof, and UV-resistant, making it ideal for cars, RVs, boats, and outdoor machinery.

Can rubber edge trim be used as an RV window seal?

Yes. It cushions and protects RV window frames, doors, and compartments. For windshields or direct glass seating, we recommend a dedicated glazing seal.

How do I choose the right size?

Match the slot width of the trim to your panel thickness. For example, a 1/16 inch slot is designed for 1/16 inch material edges. We offer multiple sizes for universal fit.

FAQs

What’s the difference between rubber edge trim and an edge guard?

They’re used interchangeably. Both describe a U-channel rubber profile that grips and protects raw edges.

Can this be used as a rubber window or RV window seal?

Yes. It cushions and protects window frame edges in RVs, campers, and boats. For windshield or glass seating, use a dedicated glazing/weatherstrip profile.

Is EPDM waterproof and UV resistant?

Yes. EPDM resists water, ozone, sunlight, and temperature extremes—making it ideal for automotive, marine, and industrial use.

Is this the same as a rubber gasket for windows?

It functions as an edge protector and can serve as a light-duty gasket, but for glass seating or compression sealing, specialized rubber gaskets are recommended.

How do I order by the foot?

Enter the total feet needed in the quantity box (e.g., “10” = 10 feet). We cut continuous length whenever possible.

Can rubber edge trim be used on wood?

Yes. Rubber edge trim grips tightly onto wood edges for furniture, shelving, and woodworking projects, protecting against chipping, moisture, and impact.

Is rubber edge trim suitable for sheet metal?

Yes. Rubber edge trim is widely used on sheet metal panels in automotive, industrial, and construction applications to prevent sharp edges, corrosion, and vibration.

Can rubber edge trim be painted or customized?

Most rubber edge trim comes in black EPDM for weather resistance. While it can be painted with flexible coatings, we recommend leaving it unpainted for durability. Custom colors and sizes may be available on request.
