Wallbarn Metal Edge Plate for Paving – Impact Protection and Clean Perimeter Finishes
The Wallbarn Metal Edge Plate is designed to deliver a clean, professional finish around the perimeter of raised paving systems while protecting surrounding walls, upstands, or parapets. This essential accessory prevents direct contact between porcelain tiles or paving slabs and the vertical surfaces, absorbing movement and safeguarding against impact damage.
Engineered from corrosion-resistant AISI 316 stainless steel with a bright annealed finish, the Metal Edge Plate is ideal for exposed environments – including rooftops, balconies, and terraces – offering long-lasting performance even in saltwater or harsh atmospheric conditions.

Built for Performance in Demanding Environments
The Wallbarn Metal Edge Plate ensures both aesthetic and structural integrity at the edges of raised floors. By maintaining a uniform spacing between tiles and perimeter elements, it promotes effective water drainage and reduces the risk of structural wear. The spring-loaded bullnose design not only cushions tiles against the wall but also allows for slight thermal or load-related movement—critical for long-term durability.
With its slim 1mm profile, the edge plate integrates neatly into your substructure design. Be sure to account for its thickness during height planning.
