Whether you need a precise seal around an industrial door, vibration damping beneath heavy machinery or a weatherproof edge for an outdoor enclosure, the right rubber strip makes the difference between a solution that lasts and one that fails under pressure.
Metroseal manufactures and supplies cut rubber strips to exact customer requirements, across a wide range of commercial and industrial applications. With consistent quality, competitive pricing, personalised products and fast delivery, we offer the kind of specialist service that standard catalogue suppliers simply cannot match.
Available in coils of up to 10m, with or without self-adhesive backing, our rubber strips are cut to your required width and thickness using our state-of-the-art MOD 1E precision cutting machine, ensuring clean, accurate cuts every time, regardless of compound or volume.
A poorly specified or fitted strip costs far more than the part itself. Air and moisture ingress around industrial doors and hatches drives up energy bills, accelerates corrosion and creates uncomfortable working environments. Vibration left unchecked damages both machinery and building fabric.
The ideal rubber strip eliminates these problems at source. Industrial and commercial-grades are engineered to perform where general-purpose alternatives fail. Choosing the correct compound for your environment is as important as the dimensions – our team can advise on both.
Durability: industrial compounds resist chemical exposure, saltwater, heavy mechanical wear and temperature extremes, outlasting cheaper alternatives significantly
Sealing and insulation: by creating an effective barrier against air, water, dust and noise around doors, windows, hatches and panels, this reduces energy loss
Shock absorption and vibration damping: placed between machinery and floors, or mounting surfaces; strips absorb shocks, reduce transmitted noise and offer protection from long-term damage
Environmental resistance: flexible and effective in extreme heat, frost, UV exposure and ozone, they perform reliably outdoors without cracking or degrading
Safety and compliance: fire-resistant grades are available for transport applications; FDA-approved silicone and specialist compounds can be produced for regulated industries and hygienic processing environments
Material selection plays a key role in the overall performance of a rubber strip. Solid rubber delivers durability and load-bearing performance; sponge rubber compresses to fill irregular gaps and provide a softer seal. The choice of compound depends on the environment, the degree of compression required, and any chemical, temperature or regulatory constraints.
The go-to compound for outdoor sealing, EPDM offers outstanding resistance to UV, ozone, weathering and temperature extremes.
A versatile, well-balanced compound with good oil, fuel and weather resistance, and flame retardancy, this is a reliable general-purpose choice across a broad range of environments.
The standard choice wherever oils, greases, fuels or hydraulic fluids are present, nitrile is essential in automotive, engineering and food processing environments where oil resistance is the priority.
Operating across the widest temperature range (-60°C to +200°C) of any common elastomer, FDA-approved grades are available for food contact and pharmaceutical compliance.
Designed to compress under loads, sponge and foam strips are ideal for sealing compresses to fill irregular surfaces and seal uneven gaps.
We also supply Butyl, CNAF, EPR, Fabric Reinforced, Hypalon, Natural Rubber, Polyurethane, PVC, SBR and Viton options.
