Plastic Oval Tubes provide a lightweight and durable alternative to round and rectangular tubing, combining the strength of a hollow profile with a more streamlined shape. Commonly used for handles, rails, fabric stiffeners, conduit and display systems, these versatile profiles are suitable for a wide range of commercial, industrial and fabrication applications.
The flat-sided oval design offers several practical advantages over traditional round tubing. It provides a larger contact area for fixing and bonding to flat surfaces, while also preventing the profile from rolling during handling and installation. The smooth, rounded edges create a comfortable, tactile surface, making Oval Tubes particularly well suited for grab rails, handles and protective barriers.
Manufactured from durable plastic materials, Oval Tubes can also be used for the containment and routing of cables, liquids, powders and gases, in much the same way as conventional hollow tubing. Easy to cut, drill and fabricate, they provide an attractive and practical solution where standard round or rectangular sections may not be suitable.
Available in a range of sizes and materials, Plastic Oval Tubes are widely used in furniture manufacture, shopfitting, display equipment, transport, engineering and general fabrication projects where a strong, lightweight and distinctive profile is required.
Our sales team can help you find the right profile, or talk to you about a bespoke extrusion made to your own specification. You can also send us an enquiry online.
These FAQs will be category based. These FAQs cover key information on our extrusion ranges, bespoke manufacturing, lead times, and technical support.
For most products, yes. These are detailed on each product page, and are accumulated in the basket.
We also offer volume pricing that starts at either 500 or 1000m+ MOQ, depending on profile size. We're happy to pass on the economies of scale we gain through extended manufacturing; taking up this options not only offers a price saving but also allows you to customise your order, specifying things such as varying cut lengths.
Please contact the Sales Team to discuss this requirement.
Unfortunately due to the length of our goods we're unable to make use of many of the small parcel couriers such as Evri, DPD and Yodel. As such, we use a commercial carrier, DX.
Whilst we do have tiered delivery pricing determined by postcodes where we're charged surcharges, our flat rate delivery charges represent additional discount for larger orders as our costs increase with the weight of the consignment.
Our carriers are unable to offer this service. However, if you have a safe place your goods can be left, you can inform us when you order and not necessarily have to wait in.
Unless you specify a Saturday delivery at checkout the standard service is working days, Monday to Friday, excluding Bank Holidays.
For example if we despatch on Friday on a Next Day Service, your items are due for delivery the following Monday.
Yes, this can be arranged at a mutually convenient time, even though we do not have a trade counter as such. However, because of the way this website is set up, you will need to pay for delivery when you order, and this element of your payment (+ Vat) will be refunded to your payment card on collection of your items.
Unfortunately not, as the manufacturer we only deal in whole packs as we just don't have the physical space to store lengths without damaging them.
If you do need single lengths, please contact the office as we have a number of Resellers that should be able to fulfil your needs.
All of our plastic trims, except Clear and Silver have UV stabilisers included within the PVC Compound allowing them to be used externally.
The main purpose of the UV stabilisers is to minimise colour fade and also maintain impact strength, preventing the profile becoming brittle. It's worth noting that darker colours absorb heat from the sun at a faster rate than lighter colours so over time they will experience a slight fading.
Please also be aware that in particularly hot conditions profiles may distort in shape when used externally. Based on our existing grade of PVC, UV Stabilisers will not prevent this happening and this problem is again exacerbated on the darker profiles such as Black and Anthracite Grey.
