T-Shaped Aluminum Profile 5 m – Base Track for Wide Rub Rail (21x19 mm)

This T-shaped aluminum profile, 5 m in length and 21x19 mm in size, is specially designed as a base for installing wider rub rail profiles on boat hulls. The T-profile is mounted along the edge where the deck joins the hull, or directly on the hull side, creating a sturdy “T” shaped rail. The flexible PVC rub rail with a matching internal T-channel is then slid over this base and locked into place. The result is an extremely clean exterior appearance with no visible screws and a very secure joint.

The aluminum T-rail is engineered to withstand forces from all directions, keeping the rub rail stable even under heavy impact or vibration. The material is marine-grade aluminum with an anodized coating for corrosion protection, ensuring a long service life. Installation requires precision: the track is screwed evenly along the hull (or deck edge), making sure it is level and well-aligned. Then the rub rail (for example, a 35x28 mm profile) is slid onto the T-head of the profile and snapped in place. This installation system is favored in high-end yachts and boats because it combines exceptional strength with a sleek finish.

• Purpose-built: Designed for rub rail profiles with an internal T-slot – e.g., PVC rub rail 30x45 mm or 35x28 mm – typically used on larger vessels.
• Hidden installation: Achieves a completely concealed fastening – the rub rail covers the screws, enhancing aesthetics and reducing their exposure to wear.
• Professional use: Commonly used in factory installations of yachts and boats where a precise and durable gunwale trim installation is required.
• Easy rub rail replacement: In this system, if needed, the outer rub rail can be removed and replaced without disassembling the aluminum base, making repairs and upgrades easier.
