polished aluminum cap-856p is a New York Metal mirror molding that is used in the glass industry and for applications where a corner or seam needs to be concealed, so it gives exposed mirror or panel edges a clean finished termination in one step. This metal edge molding belongs to the metal edge moldings class, so it is suited to jobs where a rigid trim is preferred at the edge rather than a flexible band. The molding is identified as Cap Strip Mirror Molding with dimension A at 3/4 inch, so it fits projects that need a narrow face profile along the edge line. Dimension B is 13/64 inch while C is 1/4 inch and D is 1/16 inch, which defines the small receiving and leg geometry that positions consistently against the mirror or panel surface during layout. The material is polished on the B and C faces only, so the visible surfaces present a polished aluminum finish while the other sides remain more functional.
This cap strip mirror molding uses its A dimension of 3/4 inch to establish the face coverage at the edge, so the visible metal width along the mirror or panel perimeter is known when planning reveals and adjacent materials. The B dimension at 13/64 inch and C dimension at 1/4 inch define the internal spacing of the profile, so the trim registers to the glass or panel thickness within that profile range as it is seated. The D dimension of 1/16 inch indicates a thin leg portion, so this area sits close to the surface being trimmed and keeps the profile low at the transition. Because the molding is classified as metal edge molding, it functions as a rigid finishing strip rather than a compressible trim, which suits straight edge lines along mirrors and similar panels.
This cap strip mirror molding is described for use in the glass industry and for any application where a corner or seam needs to be concealed, so it serves along exposed edges of mirrors or panels where a metal perimeter is desired. The A dimension of 3/4 inch sets the visible coverage band, so it lines the edge with a uniform strip of polished aluminum on faces B and C while the remaining portions of the profile sit against the substrate. With a standard material length of 12 ft, a single stick spans tall mirrors or longer horizontal runs, allowing layout of cuts so several smaller mirrors or panels can be trimmed from one length. Because it is part of the metal edge moldings class, it fits projects where the trim is expected to remain straight and rigid along the full run. The polished treatment on B and C emphasizes the viewing faces in these positions, which is suited to vertical side edges or top and bottom runs where those faces remain exposed.
The defined dimensions of A at 3/4 inch, B at 13/64 inch, C at 1/4 inch, and D at 1/16 inch give each stick of the 251PH molding a repeatable geometry, so cutting and fitting operations can be laid out with consistent reveals from one opening to another. Using a profile polished on B and C faces only concentrates the finished look on the sides most likely to be seen, while the remaining faces focus on locating against the edge or surface, so the trim both aligns and presents a uniform appearance. The 12 ft standard length of material simplifies planning for multiple similar installations, because edge runs can be nested along each length to reduce waste while maintaining the same polished orientation on all exposed sides. Being part of the metal edge moldings category, this polished aluminum cap-856p behaves as a rigid linear trim that holds its profile, so corners and seams can follow a straight line without the profile changing shape during handling. The use across the glass industry for concealed corners and seams also means the molding geometry is suited to common mirror edge situations where a cap strip is required to hide the raw perimeter.
The polished aluminum cap-856p is used in the glass industry and in applications where a corner or seam needs to be concealed, so it finishes exposed mirror or panel edges.
The listed dimensions A 3/4 inch, B 13/64 inch, C 1/4 inch, and D 1/16 inch define the profile geometry, so installers can match edge coverage and internal spacing to their mirror or panel layout.
This mirror molding is polished on B and C faces only, so the primary viewing surfaces present polished aluminum while the remaining faces function mainly for locating against the substrate.
The 251PH cap strip mirror molding has a standard length of 12 ft, so longer runs or multiple smaller pieces can be planned from a single stick in shop or site work.
As a metal edge molding, this polished aluminum cap-856p provides a rigid trim profile, so straight mirror or panel edges maintain a defined metal border along corners and seams.
This mirror molding is sold in both broken and full box quantities, with a discount available for full box orders, so purchasing can align with project size.
The polished aluminum cap-856p from New York Metal provides a defined cap strip mirror molding with A, B, C, and D dimensions of 3/4 inch, 13/64 inch, 1/4 inch, and 1/16 inch, so it delivers predictable coverage and profile depth on every run. Its use in the glass industry for concealed corners and seams connects directly to mirror and panel projects that need a rigid metal edge detail. With polished B and C faces and a 12 ft standard length, this metal edge molding aligns well with both one-off openings and repeated layouts. For work that calls for a polished aluminum mirror molding profile under part number 251PH, this cap strip offers a consistent geometry for trimming exposed edges.
