Arcade Molding – The Professional Finish for Your Machine
Give the final professional touch to your project with our selection of Arcade Molding. A good edge trim is essential not only for aesthetics but for durability: it covers exposed edges of the cabinet and protects the edges of your vinyls so they do not peel with use.
We have a wide variety of colours and the most widely used thicknesses in the industry.
What Type of Arcade Molding Do You Need?
Choosing the right profile is the first step. It depends on the thickness of your wood and the type of installation you prefer.
1. U-Molding Profiles (Flexible with Adhesive)
The U-Molding is the most popular for its ease of application. It “hugs” the wood edge and is fixed with contact adhesive. It is flexible and adapts perfectly to curves.
- U-Molding 10mm: Ideal for thin panels or details.
- U-Molding 16mm: The standard thickness for most Bartops.
- U-Molding 19mm: Used on more robust arcade cabinets (3/4″).
2. T-U Molding Profile (Hybrid with Slot)
The T-U Molding combines the coverage of U-Molding with the grip of T-Molding. It offers a hybrid and ultra-robust finish, but requires a 3mm slot milled in the centre of the edge to insert its spigot.
- T-U Molding 16mm: The premium solution for mechanical grip.
Tips for Perfect Application
- Use the right adhesive: We recommend contact glue or mounting adhesive (such as UHU Montakit).
- Do not overdo it: Apply a thin layer inside the molding. If you put too much, it will come out the edges when pressed.
- Masking tape is your ally: Use it to hold the molding while it dries, especially on sharp curves.
After a few hours, remove the tape and you are done!
