Counter top moulding

Does anyone know of a good source for metal countertop molding (1 1/2" or wider) at a reasonable price? This is the material here:

only problem is their moulding is so expensive (around $175 PLUS shipping for a 6' piece) that they don't even list the prices anymore.....probably figured it would scare people away. I'm doing a bar top, so I'll need quite a bit. Any ideas? Bryan Lord



Sorry for the bum link. I typed it wrong! Here it is:

Can't help with the moulding... sorry about that. However, the photos of the Boomerang formica sure brought back memories! Haven't seen any of that in eons!

Thanks,

Erik

============= These appear to be stock extruded aluminum. I googled on >stock "aluminum extrusions"< and got 103,000 hits.

apparently the industry term for what you are looking for is "ticket molding"

check out the following which were at the top of the list

Only problem is they may want you to buy a truckload, but what's the worst they can say???

You may be able to pick some up at your local cabinet ship.

Rats! I built a "retro" kitchen about a year ago with the type of edge trim that you're looking for, but I can't find the source of the trim now. The customer provided it, but I have no record in my files. It was about 1.25" wide and I believe it was resonably priced. If I come across it, I'll let you know.

Hah! Found some. Take a look at this:

Thanks for the info guys. Now for my next task, I need to find out what type of weatherstrip to use on my monitor top refrigerator (the old weatherstip is dry rotted). Probably just your standard stuff from the Home Depot. I'll need to do some research I guess. Thanks again the info about that trim moulding. Bryan
