In the past, interior design and woodworking often made us think of unfinished, rough edges that could harm people or damage clothes. It also made our dream homes look incomplete. But now, thanks to edge bands, furniture and cabinets look smooth and well-done, giving our spaces a polished look.
While using plywood or blackboard, you may observe advantages where the grain and finish do not match the other sides. And occasionally, it’s not the unkempt edges that are the issue; instead, their destiny calls for them to be concealed as a cabinet shelf or a carpentry project where functionality prevails. Edge banding is a simple option for you, but when appearances are our main priority, it is essential to enhance furniture and surfaces’ aesthetics.
Purpose of Edgeband
An old-fashioned but tempting shortcut is using face frames or mouldings instead of edge bands; however, this solution looks unkempt and is ineffectual. Edge banding tapes cover the exposed edges of materials like plywood, particleboard, or MDF, providing a clean, finished look. Edge Bands come in various materials, colours, and patterns, allowing designers to match or contrast with the main surface. This attention to detail improves the piece’s overall appearance and visual appeal, creating a polished and cohesive design.
Why E3 PVC Edge Bands?
One of the primary functions of PVC edge bands apart from its aesthetic appeal is to protect the vulnerable edges of furniture from damage caused by moisture, impact, and wear and tear. Without proper edge protection, the edges of furniture can become chipped, cracked, or worn over time. PVC edge bands are designed to be durable and long-lasting. They are resistant to moisture, heat, and chemicals, which helps them maintain their integrity over time.
PVC edge bands are relatively easy to apply using specialised edge banding machinery or tools. The bands can be adhered to the edges of furniture using heat activation (hot-melt adhesive) or pressure-sensitive adhesive, depending on the type of banding used.
What about the cost?
E3 PVC edge bands are cost-effective as compared to other edge banding materials like solid wood or veneer. This makes them a popular choice for manufacturers and designers looking to achieve a polished look without significantly increasing costs.
As E3’s relentless pursuit of industrial innovation pivots on fulfilling customers’ requirements, they are prepared with a plethora of precisely matching options for your taste in furniture laminate and wood. One can find a complementing E3 edge band for every laminate produced in the country.
