Edgebanding For Projects Where a Short Roll Makes More Sense
This SM'art ABS edgebanding in Chrysler (SMM021) is the 43 mm wide, 54-foot roll sized for jobs where a full production roll would sit on the shelf. The 1 mm ABS strip is produced to match the SM'art decorative panel program in the Manhattan finish, so face and edge read as one continuous surface after trimming.
Key Features
- SM'art collection match: Produced in Chrysler (SMM021) to pair directly with SM'art panels in the Manhattan finish family.
- 43 mm width: Sized to trim flush on standard panel thicknesses with enough overhang to clean up both faces cleanly.
- 54-foot short roll: Right-sized for a single job or a low-volume run without committing to 328 feet of one color.
- 1 mm ABS construction: Chlorine-free ABS polymer for specifications that exclude PVC, with stable color and gloss matching.
- Manhattan finish: The surface texture and sheen align with the Manhattan finish family in the SM'art collection.
Where This Roll Fits in the Work
The 54-foot roll format exists precisely for situations where a production run does not justify a full 328-foot roll. A kitchen refresh with a handful of doors, a retail fixture built to a one-time spec, or a repair job matching existing SM'art panels — these are the scenarios where the short roll pays off. The panel faces are already cut and banded in Chrysler, and this roll closes the remaining edges without leaving a significant overage. The 43 mm width handles the edgebanding step on the common panel thicknesses used in the SM'art program, and the Manhattan finish character carries through from face to edge.
ABS Construction and Finish Consistency
ABS edgebanding is the standard choice for European decorative panel programs, and it matters when a specification restricts PVC. The chlorine-free polymer holds color and gloss more consistently than PVC across a run, which is why it pairs with a collection built around precise finish matching. The Manhattan finish on this strip is the same surface family as the SM'art panel program, so the edge does not read as a separate material once it is trimmed and buffed. At 1 mm thickness the band applies on a standard edgebander without special tooling adjustments.
Who Orders This Format
Small cabinet shops running SM'art panels on residential projects are the core buyer for a short roll like this. A shop burning through high volumes of Chrysler will reach for the 328-foot roll instead, but when the job is measured in linear feet rather than linear hundreds, the 54-foot roll avoids the inventory problem. Designers and contractors sourcing edgebanding to match a specified panel color also find the short roll the right entry point — enough material to complete the job, nothing more to warehouse. This roll is an indoor application; ABS edgebanding of this type is not rated for exterior use.
Does the 43 mm width work on 19 mm panels?
Yes. A 43 mm band trims flush on a 19 mm panel with enough overhang on each face to clean up cleanly, which is exactly why that width exists. It also runs on thinner stock down to the most common cabinet panel thicknesses in the SM'art program.
Is this roll pre-glued or unglued?
This is unglued ABS edgebanding for use with a standard edgebander and a glue pot. If you need an iron-on option for site repairs, that is a different product — confirm the roll type before ordering.
Why choose ABS over PVC for this application?
ABS is chlorine-free, which clears it for specifications that restrict PVC — increasingly common in commercial and healthcare work. It also holds color and gloss more consistently, which matters when the goal is a clean match to the panel face.
Is a 328-foot roll available in Chrysler at 43 mm?
The SM'art edgebanding program offers 328-foot rolls in the wider widths for shops running volume. Check the catalog for the 43 mm production roll if your job volume justifies it.
One Roll, One Color, No Leftover Problem
The 54-foot short roll in Chrysler Manhattan is built for the job that calls for a precise match without a surplus. Close the cut edges cleanly and move on.
