Price of Cable Tray Sealing Covers

Cable tray cover sealing costs vary from around $1–$5 per foot for rubber strips to $10–$90 per linear foot for full cable tray covers depending on material and finish.

Rubber Sealing Strips

Rubber edge trims or U-shape sealing strips are commonly used to seal cable tray covers and protect edges. Prices for these strips typically range from $1 to $5 per foot, depending on size, thickness, and material quality. For example, high-quality rubber strips with dimensions from 8x6 mm to 17x14 mm are sold in packs of three pieces, offering durable protection and CE certification for safety . These strips are suitable for industrial, electrical, and machinery applications.

Cable Tray Covers

Full cable tray covers, which may include flanged or hinged designs for enhanced sealing, vary significantly in price based on material:

• Mild Steel (pre-galvanized or painted): $10–$20 per linear foot, suitable for indoor, dry environments .
• Galvanized Steel: $15–$30 per linear foot, offering mechanical protection in industrial settings .
• Aluminum: $25–$45 per linear foot, lightweight and corrosion-resistant, ideal for outdoor or moist environments .
• Fiberglass: $40–$70 per linear foot, highly resistant to chemicals and temperature fluctuations, used in chemical plants or marine settings .
• Stainless Steel: $50–$90+ per linear foot, providing maximum durability and corrosion resistance for hygienic or offshore applications .

Factors Affecting Price

• Material: Rubber, steel, aluminum, fiberglass, or stainless steel.
• Design: Flat, dome-shaped, corrugated, or flanged covers influence sealing efficiency and cost .
• Finish: Powder coating, anodizing, or galvanization adds to durability and price .
• Size and Length: Longer runs and larger dimensions increase total cost.
• Installation Accessories: Clamps, fasteners, and hinges may be included or sold separately, affecting overall expenditure . For budgeting, rubber sealing strips are the most economical option, while full metal or fiberglass covers provide higher protection and longevity but at a higher cost. Selecting the right combination depends on environmental exposure, mechanical protection needs, and maintenance access requirements.
