FAQs
Here are some of the most common questions we get asked about edgebanding. If you can’t find the answer you’re looking for, please get in touch.
Edgebanding gives raw panel edges, like those on MDF or MFC, a finished, professional look. Thin strips of material, called edging, are applied using a specialist edgebanding machine. This process creates a neat, protective border, enhancing both the appearance and life span of panels, furniture and cabinetry. Edgebanding conceals the core material, protects it from moisture and damage, and provides a clean, seamless edge. It’s essential for achieving the modern, polished aesthetic desired in today’s kitchens, bathrooms, and other interior spaces.
You can edgeband a wide variety of materials, primarily those used in furniture and cabinetry. Here are some of the most common ones:
Wood-based panels:
- MDF (Medium-Density Fiberboard): This is a very popular choice to edge band as it has a smooth surface and is easy to work with.
- Plywood: Edging plywood gives it a more finished look and protects the exposed layers of wood.
- Particleboard: Similar to MDF, particleboard benefits from edgebanding to improve its appearance and durability.
- Veneered boards: These boards have a thin layer of real wood veneer on top of a core material, and edgebanding helps to match the veneer and create a seamless look.
Plastics:
- PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): PVC edging is hard-wearing, moisture-resistant, and comes in a wide range of colors and finishes. It’s often used in kitchens and bathrooms.
- ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene): ABS is another type of plastic edging that is known for its impact resistance and high-temperature endurance.
- Acrylics: Edging can be used on acrylic sheets to create a clean and polished edge.
Other materials:
- Melamine: Melamine edging provides a smooth, durable surface and is often used on cabinets.
- Laminates: High-pressure laminates can be used as edging to match the panel surface.
- Solid wood: Thin strips of solid wood can be used as edging for a high-end look, especially on furniture.
There is an enormous selection of edging available to choose from, which makes matching edgebanding to your panel easy-peasy.
Our edgebander can handle an excellent range of edgebanding thicknesses, from thin veneers to thicker worktops. Here’s a breakdown of its capacity:
- Edge thickness: 0.4 mm to 6 mm (and even up to 8 mm with some edge materials)
- Workpiece thickness: 8 mm to 60 mm
This makes it suitable for many different projects, like furniture making and kitchen installations. If you have a specific project in mind, just let us know the details, and we’ll be happy to confirm if our edgebander can handle it.
We use a high-quality machine that allows us to apply edging with precision and efficiency. It uses a hot melt glue system, which provides a strong and durable bond. This combination of reliable machinery and high-quality glue ensures a professional and long-lasting finish for all your edgebanding needs.
To provide an accurate quote we will need to understand what panels you want edgebanding (quantity and sizes), what edging material is required (real wood veneer, melamine etc.), how much of it (total length) and the thickness of the edgeband. Once we have this information, we can provide you with a transparent and detailed quote outlining the costs involved.
