Tile trim material types
Tile trim material types
In general, there are 4 kinds of tile trim materials in the market:
PVC, aluminum alloy, stainless steel and brass.
PVC tile trim
PVC tile trim
PVC tile trim, PVC material is a kind of plastic decorative materials, it is the abbreviation of PVC material, PV (Polyvinyl Chloride, abbreviated as PVC).
The domestic market, PVC material tile trim is widely used in the past, big quantity and low price, easily get this building materials in the market.
PVC tile trim defect is the thermal stability and impact resistance, corrosion resistance, poor oxidation resistance. Different types in various colors.
Aluminum tile trim
That means aluminum extrusion profile, alloy can be and 6063 and 6463, main alloy element is Aluminum, magnesium and Silicon, the other element is copper, Manganese, zinc etc.
T5 temper 6063 has an ultimate tensile strength of at least 140 MPa (20,000 psi) in thicknesses up to 13 millimetres (0.5 in), and 130 MPa (19,000 psi) from 13 mm (0.5 in) thick, and yield strength of at least 97 MPa (14,000 psi) up to 13 millimetres (0.5 in) and 90 MPa (13,000 psi) from13 to 25 mm (0.5 to 1 in). It has elongation of 8%.
6063 is used for architectural fabrication, window and door frames, pipe and tubing, and aluminium furniture
6463 aluminium alloy is an alloy in the wrought aluminium-magnesium-silicon family (6000 or 6xxx series). It is related to 6063 aluminium alloy (Aluminum Association designations that only differ in the second digit are variations on the same alloy), but unlike 6063 it is generally not formed using any processes other than extrusion. It cannot be work hardened, but is commonly heat treated to produce tempers with a higher strength but lower ductility. Like 6063, it is often used in architectural applications. (from Wikipedia)
Aluminum alloy has low density, but high strength. It is close to or better than high quality steel. It has good plasticity and can be processed into various profiles. It has excellent electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance. It is widely used in industry.
Aluminum tile trim can be extruded in different metal shapes and many different types, like round edge, square edge, straight, transition, cover strip, external corner trim, internal corner trims.
The most popular tile trim material in the market and it is widely used in commercial and residential projects.
Stainless steel tile trim
Stainless steel tile trim
304 and 316 materials, thickness can be 0.8mm, 1mm and other thickness can be tailor made.
Silver is stainless steel original colors, brushing effect and other colors, like gold, champagne and black color can be electroplating to get it. Length can be 2.44m, 2.5m, 2.6m,2.7m and 3m length.
Stainless steel is notable for its corrosion resistance, and it is widely used for food handling and cutlery among many other applications. Stainless steel does not readily corrode, rust or stain with water as ordinary steel does, so stainless steel tile trim service life time is more than 10 years.
Brass tile trim
Brass tile trim
Brass is a non-ferrous metal that has a very close relationship with human beings and is widely used in electric, light industry, machinery manufacturing, construction industry and national defense industry.
Brass has excellent cutting, drilling performance, high strength, good plasticity and corrosion resistance. Ductility, extrusion processability,weldability,corrosion resistance, weather resistance, thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity all is good, especially for the welding.
Brass can be used for automatic lathe, CNC lathe machining with ecological and health safety requirements of products such as electronics, telecommunications, electrical connectors, connectors, hardware, photography, home appliances, and drinking water engineering components. Suitable for bath water heaters, gaskets, handicrafts, construction materials, chemical industry, electrical terminals etc.
Brass tile trim, the shape can be round edge, straight edge, cover strips etc. 2.44m, 2.5m, 2.6m,2.7m and 3m length are available. It is most used for luxury places and hotel, restaurants public places.
