Split Tubes provide a simple and versatile solution for protecting, covering and gripping a wide range of components. Commonly used as edge protection trims, snap-on covers, cable protection sleeves and cushioning profiles, these plastic tubes are designed to fit around existing parts without the need to thread components through a closed tube.
Manufactured from durable plastic materials, Split Tubes are lightweight, easy to cut and suitable for a wide range of commercial, industrial and fabrication applications. They are commonly used in cable management, engineering projects, display systems, furniture manufacture and protective covering applications where a reusable snap-on profile is required.
The split design allows the profile to be pushed into place over cables, rods, pipes and panel edges, making installation quick and convenient. Depending on the profile selected, Split Tubes can provide additional grip, impact protection or a neat finished appearance while helping to protect surfaces from wear and damage.
Available in a range of sizes and designs, Plastic Split Tubes provide a practical and cost-effective solution for protecting, concealing and finishing components while allowing easy installation and removal when 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.
