What Types of Wood Edge Banding Are Available?59

As a leading Chinese furniture edge banding strip manufacturer, we are frequently asked about the different types of wood edge banding available. Edge banding is a narrow strip of material that is applied to the exposed edges of wood panels to protect them from moisture and wear and to improve their overall appearance. Wood edge banding is available in a variety of materials, thicknesses, and finishes, so it is important to choose the right type for your particular application.

The most common types of wood edge banding include:
Natural wood veneer edge banding: Natural wood veneer edge banding is made from thin slices of real wood. It is available in a wide variety of wood species, colors, and grain patterns. Natural wood veneer edge banding can be matched to the wood panels it is applied to, or it can be used to create a contrasting effect.
Engineered wood veneer edge banding: Engineered wood veneer edge banding is made from multiple layers of thin wood veneers that are laminated together. It is more durable than natural wood veneer edge banding and is available in a wider variety of colors and finishes. Engineered wood veneer edge banding can be matched to the wood panels it is applied to, or it can be used to create a contrasting effect.
Melamine edge banding: Melamine edge banding is made from a resin-impregnated paper that is laminated to a substrate. It is durable, moisture-resistant, and available in a wide variety of colors and finishes. Melamine edge banding is often used on commercial furniture and cabinetry.
PVC edge banding: PVC edge banding is made from a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic. It is durable, moisture-resistant, and available in a wide variety of colors and finishes. PVC edge banding is often used on high-traffic areas, such as kitchens and bathrooms.
ABS edge banding: ABS edge banding is made from an acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) plastic. It is durable, moisture-resistant, and available in a wide variety of colors and finishes. ABS edge banding is often used on high-end furniture and cabinetry.

The thickness of wood edge banding is typically between 0.5mm and 2mm. The thickness of the edge banding should be chosen based on the thickness of the wood panels it will be applied to. Thicker edge banding is more durable, but it can also be more difficult to apply.

The finish of the wood edge banding should be chosen based on the desired look of the finished product. Natural wood veneer edge banding has a natural, wood-like finish. Engineered wood veneer edge banding has a more durable, engineered finish. Melamine edge banding has a smooth, matte finish. PVC edge banding has a durable, glossy finish. ABS edge banding has a durable, high-gloss finish.

Wood edge banding is a versatile and affordable way to protect and improve the appearance of wood panels. By choosing the right type of edge banding for your particular application, you can create a finished product that is both beautiful and durable.
