Rubber Extrusions
Explore our range of specialist rubber extrusions for automotive, van conversion, DIY and engineering applications. This section includes L-shaped and T-shaped rubber profiles, P-shaped trims, bead seals, leaf seals and other less common rubber sections.
These profiles can be used for sealing, protecting edges, filling gaps and finishing a wide variety of projects. If you need a more conventional U-shaped profile, take a look at our Rubber U-Channel Trims.
Not sure which profile you need?
Read our guide to choosing the right rubber extrusion for your project.
Rubber Extrusion Profiles for Different Applications
The rubber extrusions in this section cover a number of less common profile shapes. L-shaped and T-shaped sections can be useful for edging, sealing and finishing, while P-shaped trims, bead seals and leaf seals can suit applications where a more specialised profile is required.
The correct extrusion will depend on the shape of the surface, the size of the gap and whether the rubber needs to grip, protect or compress. Check the dimensions shown on each product before ordering to make sure the profile suits your application.
For other types of rubber extrusion, you can also explore our U-channel trims, silicone trims and seals, nitrile rubber cord, sponge rubber and window seals.
Rubber Seals
We supply rubber seals for a wide variety of industrial and commercial uses.
Typical products include door seals, glazing seals, hatch seals, expansion seals and specialist sealing profiles. Different profiles and compounds are available depending on whether the seal needs to resist weathering, water, oils, temperature or repeated compression.
Door Seals
Rubber door seals can be used around industrial doors, access panels, cabinets, vehicles, containers and machinery.
Profiles can be selected according to the size of the gap, compression required and environmental conditions.
Need a Custom Rubber Profile?
If you cannot find the profile you need, contact The Metal House with a drawing, measurements or photograph.
We can help identify suitable profiles, recommend appropriate materials and discuss custom manufacturing where a standard extrusion is not available.
Whether you require EPDM seals, silicone extrusions, neoprene profiles, specialist seals or a fully bespoke rubber section, speak to our team about your requirements.
Choosing Rubber Materials
Selecting the correct rubber materials is an important part of specifying any seal or extrusion.
Factors to consider include temperature, weather exposure, oils or chemicals, compression, hardness and required service life.
Common materials include:
- Natural rubber
- EPDM rubber
- Neoprene rubber
- Silicone rubber
- Nitrile and other synthetic compounds
A suitable synthetic rubber compound can be selected where specific resistance or performance characteristics are required.
Rubber Extrusion Applications
There are numerous rubber extrusion applications across manufacturing, construction, marine and engineering sectors.
Profiles may be used as seals, bumpers, protective strips, channels, glazing components, vibration isolators and flexible joints.
The ability to produce complex continuous profiles makes extrusion particularly useful where long lengths of consistent rubber section are required.
Hatch Seals
Hatch seals are commonly used where a reliable compression seal is required around access hatches, marine equipment, plant and industrial enclosures.
Rubber Extrusion Process
During the rubber extrusion process, uncured rubber is fed through an extruder and forced through a specially manufactured die.
The die determines the cross-sectional shape of the profile. Once formed, the extrusion passes through a curing or vulcanisation stage that gives the material its final physical characteristics.
The precise manufacturing process depends on the material, profile geometry, tolerances and intended application.
For custom products, tooling can be manufactured to create a profile specifically for your project.
Adhesives for Rubber Products
Suitable adhesives may be used where rubber profiles need to be bonded to metal, glass, plastic or other surfaces.
The correct adhesive will depend on the rubber compound, substrate and operating environment. Some profiles can also be supplied with self-adhesive backing where appropriate.

Quality Assurance
Consistent dimensions and material properties are important when sourcing industrial rubber components.
Our approach to quality assurance focuses on supplying products that meet the required dimensions, material specification and intended application.
For bespoke products, drawings and samples can be reviewed before production to help ensure the finished profile is suitable for the project.
Rubber Extrusion Manufacturers
Working with experienced manufacturers allows us to source both standard and specialist extrusion products across a broad range of compounds and profiles.
Whether you require a common sealing section or a completely custom profile, we can help identify an appropriate manufacturing route.
Gaskets and Flange Gaskets
Rubber sheet, sponge sheet and rubber cord can be used for producing gaskets, seals and other fabricated components.
We stock rubber and sponge sheet in a range of grades and thicknesses, along with nitrile rubber cord suitable for O-rings and sealing applications.
Rubber Sheeting
Rubber sheeting provides a versatile solution for gasket manufacture, lining, protection, cushioning and general industrial use.
Sheets are available in a range of compounds, thicknesses and hardnesses, allowing the material to be selected according to the application.
Specialist Rubber Extrusion Supply
As a specialist rubber company and industrial product supplier, The Metal House can help with individual replacement profiles through to larger production requirements.
Our product range extends beyond extrusion to associated rubber components, sheeting, gaskets and fabricated products.
Types of Rubber Extrusion Products
The types of rubber extrusion products available include solid, hollow and sponge profiles manufactured in many different cross-sectional shapes.
Common examples include channels, D sections, P sections, U channels, cords, glazing profiles, strips, tubing and specialist sealing sections.
The correct profile will depend on how the rubber needs to compress, grip, protect or seal.
