Eckleisten
Eckleisten (German for "corner strips" or "corner mouldings") are linear finishing elements used to cover, protect and define internal and external corners in construction, interior design and furniture making. They conceal joints between two surfaces, protect vulnerable edges from impact and wear, and provide a visually clean transition between materials.
Common materials for Eckleisten include PVC and other plastics, timber, aluminum, stainless steel and sometimes plaster
Designs range from simple L-shaped profiles and rounded trims to ornate mouldings and integrated seal or gasket
Applications cover residential and commercial interiors, furniture edges, cabinetry, bathrooms and kitchens, as well as façades
Maintenance requirements are generally minimal: plastic and metal strips are wiped clean, wood may be sealed
