Kate, NY Metals also has these. FOLKS, they have just about EVERYTHING: http://www.newyorkmetal.com/c-7-tee-nosings-counter-edge-aluminum.aspx

You can also ask them regarding local suppliers – if you can find local suppliers you will save on shipping. Kate, go thru this comment string and you can a link or two from others identifying local suppliers.

A low budget version! My man and I recently retro-ized an old office brown wooden desk. We got the desk for free and I painted it white. We bought a piece of the skylark boomerang formica and resurfaced it. We didn’t want to spend the money to ship 1 piece of edging on a little desk. So we just used two piece of aluminum threshold material around the edges. It bent really easily. To hold it in place we used contracting white upholstery tacks in the already there holes. We changed the hardware to match the “look” we were going for, and we have a solid, sturdy, retro-looking desk that cost us around $75 total. We were very pleased. You would never know that the aluminum threshold was anything but edging for a desk and it cost us only around $15. Just thought we would share

This won’t likely be of much help for those needing ribbed edging, but for smooth edging search up TACO Metal Products Corp.
This is stainless stuff used widely on boats as a rubrail trim or edging, and TACO is the largest US supplier. Anywhere there is much marine work or new boat construction work done in the US there will be a wholesaler of this material not too far away. Comes in a number of widths and is usually available in 20 foot (sometimes 12 foot) sticks.
Hope this could help someone…

Thanks, Robin, for adding that find! I know there are a lot of readers in LA area who will be glad to have a local supplier, as shipping from NYMetals can be expensive. Hmmm. Anyone working with a place like this also should ask …. can they get you NYMetals, too?

After looking around forever, I just found a place in Los Angeles (Culver City to be exact) that has several different options for edging in stock.

I got a ridged stainless steel outside edge, with a little aluminum cove piece for where the back splash meets the formica countertop.

They have a showroom where you can see samples. Each piece comes in 12 foot lengths and are around $2 a foot:

I never read this post before, because we redid our kitchen in 2006. However, I’m somewhat bummed that we were unable to find this edging when we did ours! I called all over trying to find something like this, but everyone was so confused by what I was asking. You think this edging would be really popular in modern kitchen remodels. it’s awesome.

Hi and LOVE this site. I have a 50’s kitchen with pink and gold fleck laminate that is in very good condition. It is trimmed with the strainless steel edging which is also pretty nice. BUT, all curved edges and the center of the edging has a plastic insert that I would like to replace as it is chipped and broken. ANY ideas? I will post a pic if needed.
THANKS!
