Bumper rails are mounted onto the metal housing of an appliance by using adhesive tape.

Mounting of Bumper Rails

Apply plastic or metal trims to a metal housing, without rivets and screws or the curing time and risk of dripping associated with liquid glue systems.

Plastic or metal trims, such as bumper rails, can be applied to a metal housing using double-sided tape. In this way, screws and rivets are avoided. Besides, you avoid the risk of dripping or long curing times associated with liquid glue systems. Using double-sided tape is a particularly clean and efficient application process.

The tapes used should be deep black for design reasons and have a visco-elastic acrylic core. Furthermore, they should have good dampening properties and be very adhesive to glass and aluminium.
