Description
EZ Liner H-Channel Trim is a white PVC trim piece designed to join two EZ Liner panels end-to-end, creating a seamless connection when panels meet along their length. This essential trim allows you to extend panel runs beyond a single panel length while maintaining a professional, finished appearance. Made from the same durable 100% virgin PVC as EZ Liner panels, the H-channel seamlessly integrates with your panel installation for a cohesive look.
ShapesPlastics' EZ Liner H-channel features an "H" shaped profile that accepts panel edges on both sides, creating a strong, secure connection between panels. The trim is moisture-resistant, chemical-resistant, and easy to clean, maintaining the hygienic properties of your EZ Liner system. Essential for large installations where wall or ceiling lengths exceed a single panel, or when you need to join panels for repairs or additions. Works with standard EZ Liner panels and can be cut to length with standard tools. Allows for thermal expansion and contraction while keeping panels securely joined.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I install H-channel trim?
Position the H-channel where two panels will meet end-to-end. Slide one panel edge into one side of the H-channel, then slide the second panel edge into the other side. The channel accepts both panel edges, creating a joined connection. Secure the H-channel to the wall structure with appropriate fasteners. The channel allows for slight expansion and contraction while keeping panels aligned and connected.
When do I need H-channel vs other trims?
Use H-channel specifically to join two panels end-to-end when your installation requires longer runs than a single panel provides. Use J-trim to cap exposed panel edges at doorways and windows. Use inside corner cove for ceiling-to-wall transitions. Use outside corner trim for exterior corners. H-channel is unique in that it connects two panels together rather than finishing an edge.
How much H-channel do I need?
Count the number of locations where panels will meet end-to-end. Each connection point needs H-channel running the full height (for walls) or width (for ceilings) of the connection. For example, if you're installing panels on a 20-foot wall and your panels are 8 feet long, you'll need one H-channel connection point running the full wall height. Plan panel layout to minimize H-channel connections when possible.
Does H-channel allow for panel expansion?
Yes, H-channel is designed to allow for thermal expansion and contraction of panels due to temperature changes. The channel holds panels securely while permitting slight movement. This is important in unheated spaces like garages, barns, or outdoor applications where temperature fluctuations are common. Follow manufacturer guidelines for proper spacing and installation to accommodate expansion.
