Are you looking for a decorative material that can add that perfect finish touch to your fabulous redecoration job? Then edge banding is the solution.
Edge banding, the high impact decorative material, is used to finish and seal raw material edges. Edging is available in thin strips and made to measure fits. It is easy to cut to shape in order to fit a particular need.
From office, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom furniture to exhibition, shop fitting and cubicle ranges, edging can bring home the perfect results.
Edge Banding Concerns
When applying edge banding, first cut the material into larger pieces which makes it easier to trim the banding down to fit, if an installation mistake happens. Make sure the surface is smooth and clean before edging. For if dust and sand remains are on the surface, the material may not get glued properly.
There are three ways of edging. One is a self-sticking method; the other is to press it on the surface with a low temperature clothing iron. The final method is to coat the material and the furniture surface with contact cement, when pressed together the two materials instantly bond.
