ABSTRACT:
A method for making an edge guard wherein insulating inserts are fitted onto the beaded ends of the legs of a metal U-shaped edge guard channel with the inserts interlocking with the crevices provided by the beads in certain embodiments. In one embodiment the metal channel is pre-coated with insulation, by spray or roller coating for example, before the insulating inserts are applied. In another embodiment, a one-piece insert is provided which covers the entire exterior of the U-shaped channel, extends around the beads including interlocking portions interlocking with the beads and continues to extend around the beads on the inside of the legs of the channel so as to leave a gap at the base of the inside surface of the channel. The invention provides color-coordination with simplified inventory and manufacturing requirements.
