Aluminum sheet fasteners.

Sep 16, 2003 1 Replies

I have a trailer made of aluminum sheet and on the bottom, where two 4 x 8' sheets meet, the seams are closed/covered with a ~1 inch strip of some sort of aluminum flashing.



This looks like it is crimped every half-inch or so on both sides so, it would completely hide the bare seam of the two aluminum sheets. I don't know the name of this material or where to get it and I can't go the the manufacturer as they are out of business.



This material may not actually be crimped on to the sheets but it is crimped and perhaps that is just forming a compression-type fit so that when it is slid over the seam, it would remain stationary.



Does anyone know what I am talking about and if so, the name of this flashing and where I could get it?



Thanks
