An edge trim for mounting on a peripheral edge of an article, comprising:

• a longitudinally extending body member fabricated from an extruded profile, said body member having a predetermined length;
• securement means for securing abutted opposite ends of said body member together to provide an endless construction;
• said body member including a vertical body portion for covering the peripheral edge of the article, and a top flange portion connected to an upper end of said body portion for engaging a top surface portion of the article disposed adjacent to the peripheral edge;
• a lower portion of said body portion being provided with pilot means for sliding vertically downwardly against the peripheral edge of the article to position said body portion around the peripheral edge of the article;
• resilient flexible means being guided by said pilot means into a vertically downwardly sliding engagement against the peripheral edge of the article for snapping onto the peripheral edge of the article and engaging a bottom surface portion of the article disposed adjacent to the peripheral edge;
• said resilient flexible means being connected to said body portion, said resilient flexible means being disposed above said pilot means and spaced below said top flange portion;
• and
• said resilient flexible means and said top flange portion being spaced apart a predetermined distance to provide a tension therebetween when disposed on the article for locking said edge trim on the peripheral edge of the article in a secure engagement.
