How to Attach Edge Banding to Wardrobe Doors86

Edge banding is a thin strip of material that is applied to the edges of wardrobe doors to protect them from damage and to give them a finished look. It can be made from a variety of materials, including wood, plastic, and metal. The most common type of edge banding is made from PVC, which is a durable and flexible material that is available in a wide range of colors and finishes.

There are two main ways to attach edge banding to wardrobe doors: with heat or with glue. Heat-applied edge banding is the most common method, and it is relatively easy to do. Glue-applied edge banding is more difficult to apply, but it can provide a stronger bond.

Heat-Applied Edge Banding

To attach edge banding with heat, you will need the following tools and materials:* Edge banding
* Iron
* Damp cloth
* Trimmer

Instructions:1. Cut the edge banding to the length of the wardrobe door edge.
2. Position the edge banding on the edge of the door, and align the edge of the banding with the edge of the door.
3. Cover the edge banding with a damp cloth.
4. Heat the iron to the highest setting.
5. Press the iron down on the damp cloth and hold it there for 10-15 seconds.
6. Remove the iron and the damp cloth.
7. Smooth the edge banding down with your fingers.
8. Trim the excess edge banding with a trimmer.

Glue-Applied Edge Banding

To attach edge banding with glue, you will need the following tools and materials:* Edge banding
* Wood glue
* Clamps
* Trimmer

Instructions:1. Cut the edge banding to the length of the wardrobe door edge.
2. Apply a thin layer of wood glue to the edge of the door.
3. Position the edge banding on the edge of the door, and align the edge of the banding with the edge of the door.
4. Clamp the edge banding in place.
5. Allow the glue to dry for 24 hours.
6. Remove the clamps.
7. Trim the excess edge banding with a trimmer.

Tips for Attaching Edge Banding* Make sure the edge of the wardrobe door is clean and free of dust and debris before applying the edge banding.
* If you are using heat-applied edge banding, be careful not to overheat the iron, as this can damage the edge banding.
* If you are using glue-applied edge banding, make sure to apply a thin layer of glue to the edge of the door, as too much glue can cause the edge banding to bubble.
* Clamp the edge banding in place for 24 hours to ensure a strong bond.
* Once the edge banding is attached, trim the excess with a trimmer.
