finishing angle material for edge of caravan??

If you google up aluminium suppliers you can most likely find something in their catalogues

any suggestions for a nice finishing angle/edging for a DIY caravan after sheeted with Aluminium composite?
I can get Aluminium angle which would ok, however I was wondering about something with some pattern. Perhaps purchase thin Aluminium checker plate perhaps, cut it into lengths & fold into effectively angle? Or perhaps there is a product I'm not aware of?

Try that above for Aluminium Extrusions. Ullrich Aluminium or Capral Aluminium springs to mind. But you need to search in your area.

Hi mixedup. I found ULLRICH ALUMINIUM ( 1300 650 075 ) had a large selection of profiles. I found it easier to find what I wanted in their printed catalogues rather than their online catalogue. You can also order your material in a powder coated finish if you want.

Good Luck Rob.

thanks - had a look through all the different extrusions from Ullrich...whilst they have lots and lots, I can still only really image using the basic "angle" for the edges of my enclosed trailer....not sure if I'm missing something...

e.g. something like:

Hi mixedup, smile

Perhaps you could try the opposition, Capral.

They might have more selections. They have a couple of extrusions called caravan angle. However I am not exactly sure what you are thinking of so look till you find what you have in mind. There are coolroom extrusions and marine and tray angles too. There are angles for wall sheeting suit 3mm and 5mm thickness. Too much choice really hmm

thanks for the pointer - so I see it gives the rounded edges look (no pattern on it as such I assume) for extrusions such as "caravan roof corner" and "caravan edging" which I'll follow up on

Mixedup.

That's one uglyyyyy looking trailer you got there.

Put a centreline seam and two tone colours or something.
Anything.

You may have problem getting other than 90Deg Angle for corners too
if using straight angle ally.

Have to/get some, folded to suit.

Have fun
