How to Edge Seal Windows with Edge Banding81

Edge banding is a thin strip of material applied to the exposed edges of furniture panels to create a finished, professional look. It protects the edges from damage and moisture, and can also be used to add a decorative element to the furniture.

Edge banding can be made from a variety of materials, including wood, plastic, and metal. The most common type of edge banding used for windows is PVC (polyvinyl chloride). PVC edge banding is durable, moisture-resistant, and easy to work with.

To edge seal a window with edge banding, you will need the following materials:* Edge banding
* Iron or edge bander machine
* Trim router
* Sandpaper
* Putty knife
* Wood filler (optional)

Instructions:1. Cut the edge banding to the desired length. The edge banding should be long enough to wrap around the entire perimeter of the window frame.
2. Apply a thin bead of glue to the back of the edge banding.
3. Align the edge banding with the edge of the window frame and press it into place. Use the iron or edge bander machine to apply heat and pressure to the edge banding. This will cause the glue to melt and the edge banding to adhere to the window frame.
4. Trim the excess edge banding flush with the surface of the window frame using a trim router.
5. Sand the edge banding smooth.
6. Apply wood filler to any gaps or holes in the edge banding. Allow the wood filler to dry completely.
7. Sand the wood filler smooth.

Tips:* Use a sharp blade to cut the edge banding. A dull blade will cause the edge banding to tear or fray.
* Apply the glue evenly to the back of the edge banding. Too much glue will cause the edge banding to bubble or wrinkle.
* Press the edge banding firmly into place. This will ensure that it adheres properly to the window frame.
* Trim the excess edge banding carefully. A ragged edge will look unprofessional.
* Sand the edge banding smooth. This will give the edge banding a finished look.
* Apply wood filler to any gaps or holes in the edge banding. This will help to seal the edge banding and protect it from moisture.
