Shadow Gap Channel Trim (Type SC)

This trim is used to create a clean shadowline perimeter detail where cut metal ceiling tile systems meet walls, partitions, or upstands. The channel is designed to hold standard wedges and clips to secure cut tiles.

• Supplied in standard 3000mm lengths
• Standard colour RAL 9010
• Punched flange for easy fixing
• Extruded from architectural grade aluminium alloy to BS1474

Please refer to the images for the sizes of each option.

This profile is comparable to Qic Trims Type SC.

Technical

These trims are designed for suspended ceiling systems that use metal, mineral fibre, gypsum, plasterboard, or rigid mineral wool tiles. They have the strength to support the tiles they are made for, with a good safety margin included in their design.

However, trims should not bear loads beyond the tiles themselves, so it’s important to provide separate support for extra items like light fittings or air conditioning units. To enhance appearance and sound insulation, a bead of silicone mastic can be applied between the trim and the wall. Perimeter trims should always be backed with a layer of wallboard and must not be attached directly to the building’s structural framing.

All orders are despatched from our warehouse in West Bromwich, West Midlands.
