    Cap Strip Mirror Molding Cap for 1/16"

    Description

    Cap Strip Mirror Molding For Clean Edges

    Cap Strip Mirror Molding is a metal edge molding cap from New York Metal designed for applications where a corner or seam needs to be concealed, so installers can finish exposed mirror or panel edges with a defined metal line. This molding is used in the glass industry and in other situations where a visible joint needs to be covered, which helps create a finished edge around mirrors or panels. The molding is specified as a cap for 1/16 inch material, so it is sized to receive thin mirror or panel edges in that thickness range. The cross-section is defined with A at 3/4 inch, B at 13/64 inch, C at 1/4 inch, and D at 1/16 inch, giving fabricators fixed dimensions to plan their layouts and cuts. The part is identified as ANODIZED CAP-856A and manufacturer part 251VCH, which supports consistent reordering for repeat projects.

    Key Edge Molding Details For Field Use

    • The cap strip mirror molding is described as a metal edge molding, so it provides a rigid profile that protects exposed 1/16 inch mirror or panel edges while giving a defined metal border that helps align with surrounding trim.
    • The molding is used in the glass industry and for any application where a corner or seam needs to be concealed, so it adapts to mirror installations and other panel joints where a finished edge is required along visible transitions.
    • The standard length of material is 12 ft, which lets installers run long, continuous edges with fewer joints over mirrors or panels, helping reduce alignment breaks along walls, doors, or fixture faces.
    • The A dimension is 3/4 inch, which sets the primary leg width that spans along the face of the mirror or panel, so fabricators can design reveals and overlaps based on a known coverage width.
    • The D dimension is 1/16 inch, noting that the cap is sized for 1/16 inch material thickness, so the receiving pocket matches typical thin mirror stock and supports a snug edge fit.
    • The B dimension of 13/64 inch and C dimension of 1/4 inch define the remaining legs of the profile, giving installers a fixed geometry for planning how the molding sits relative to adjacent surfaces or framing.

    Installation Geometry And Edge Fit Details

    The mirror molding is described as a cap strip for 1/16 inch material, so the internal opening is intended to capture the edge of 1/16 inch mirror or panel stock for a close mechanical fit. The A dimension of 3/4 inch establishes how far the molding will extend across the face surface, letting installers decide how much of the mirror edge to cover. The B dimension of 13/64 inch and the C dimension of 1/4 inch define the other legs of the profile, which helps in planning how the molding will align with walls, returns, or adjacent trim pieces. With a standard 12 ft length of material, long runs can follow mirror edges or seams with fewer cut joints, supporting straighter visual lines along the installation.

    Using This Metal Edge Molding On Projects

    Where This Cap Strip Mirror Molding Works

    This metal edge molding is used in the glass industry, so it fits mirror projects where exposed 1/16 inch edges or seams need a finished perimeter. The profile is also described as suitable for any application where a corner or seam needs to be concealed, so it can be applied along panel joints or trim intersections that benefit from a defined metal cover. The 3/4 inch A dimension sets a visible band across the surface, which can be laid out as a border detail around mirrors, cabinet panels, or wall panels. With B at 13/64 inch and C at 1/4 inch, the legs form a cap that can sit over edges and corners, allowing designers to integrate the molding into transitions between materials.

    Profile Details That Support Consistent Results

    The molding is polished on the B and C faces only, so the two legs that form those faces present a finished sheen where they are visible in the installation, helping the exposed sides match across a run. Because A, B, C, and D are defined as 3/4 inch, 13/64 inch, 1/4 inch, and 1/16 inch respectively, fabricators can transfer these exact dimensions into shop drawings or cut lists for repeatable fabrication. The D dimension matching 1/16 inch material thickness ties the cap to thin mirror or panel stock, which simplifies selecting matching sheet materials for edge coverage. With the product identified as ANODIZED CAP-856A and manufacturer part 251VCH, installers can specify the same profile on drawings and purchase orders, so replacement sections or added runs on future phases match the original installation.
