What kind of trim to use

**Gestalt** · 24th September 2016, 10:05 AM

Hi Guys, just wondering if anyone knows if there's a standard type of trim to use to cover the ends of floor boards as in the picture. I was hoping to get hold of some stainless steel angle, say 20mm by 25mm by about 0.8 thick, but can't seem to find anything off the shelf.
I could resort to getting some folded up but I was hoping for something standard. Any ideas?

I'm thinking something like this

pinned to the joist, and covering the ends.
Also I'd finish the cover strip before installing it.

Brass or aluminium angle is available and might suit your job.

Thanks Ian. I think if I was to use something like this I'd have to rebate it into the floor boards to keep it flush with the level of the floor. It needs to be a pretty low profile because of the top step.

Yes aluminium could be an alternative, but I think brass would get pretty expensive and it would require several joins. At least with the aluminium I could do each section without joins and just mitred ends. Thanks.
