Manhattan Finish And The Wider Edge: Rockefeller Banding for Thicker Stock
This is matching ABS edgebanding in the SM'art collection's Rockefeller color, cut to 65 mm wide and supplied on a 54-foot roll. The 65 mm width is the widest in the SM'art edgebanding range, sized for thicker panels and door stock where a 23 mm or 43 mm band would fall short. The Manhattan finish carries the same surface character as the panel face, so the edge and the field read as a continuous surface after trimming.
Key Features
- 65 mm width provides generous overhang on thick stock and accommodates panel thicknesses up to roughly 50 mm before trimming.
- 1 mm ABS construction is chlorine-free, making it compatible with specifications that exclude PVC banding.
- Manhattan finish matches the SM'art Rockefeller panel decor so the edge reads as part of the face rather than a separate component.
- 54-foot roll is sized for single-job or short-run use without committing to a full 328-foot production roll.
- SMM022 Rockefeller color code ties the banding directly to the SM'art panel program for confident color matching at the point of order.
Where This Width Earns Its Place
The 65 mm band is the right reach for cabinet door stock, thick shelving, and any panel application where a narrow band would require a second pass or leave an unfinished margin. A 19 mm panel uses a 23 mm band cleanly, but a 38 mm or 44 mm laminated or double-thickness door calls for something wider. The 65 mm width covers that range and still trims flush on a standard edge machine. The 54-foot roll suits a finishing run on a set of doors or a small cabinet run without the footprint of a production roll — useful for shops that keep a focused banding inventory by color rather than buying wide and deep on every decor.
ABS Material and Manhattan Surface
ABS extrusion produces a banding strip that is dimensionally stable, takes a clean machine trim, and holds color consistency from one end of the roll to the other. The chlorine-free formulation opens the door to green building specifications and projects where PVC is restricted by spec or by preference. The Manhattan finish on this roll is the SM'art collection's specific surface texture and sheen for the Rockefeller decor — it is not a generic matte or gloss but the exact emboss and tone the panel carries, produced to coordinate at the same factory. At 1 mm thickness the strip bonds reliably with standard hot-melt edgebanders and sits flush after profiling without a visible seam line.
Right Fit for the SM'art Rockefeller Program
This banding is specified for shops and designers working with SM'art Rockefeller panels. It is the factory-matched companion to that decor, not a close third-party approximation. Note that this color is discontinued and selling through existing inventory — it is a sound choice for a current project or a run where no reorder is anticipated, but a job with a long tail or potential phased reorder should be planned around a color with an open future. Confirm available inventory before committing a multi-phase specification.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why would I choose the 65 mm width over the 43 mm for a typical cabinet box?
For a standard 19 mm cabinet box panel, the 43 mm width trims with more margin to spare and wastes less banding. The 65 mm width is the call when your stock runs thicker — laminated door cores, doubled panels, or any edge that pushes past 40 mm. If in doubt, measure the thickest panel in the job before ordering.
Is this banding pre-glued or do I need a glue pot?
This roll is unglued and is intended for use with a standard hot-melt edgebander. It is not an iron-on product. If your shop runs a glue-pot machine, the bond process is the same.
The Rockefeller color is discontinued — can I still order it?
Yes. Discontinued colors sell through until inventory is gone, so the roll is orderable today. The practical limit is that once stock is depleted there is no reorder path. Check current inventory before specifying it into a job that may need additional material later.
Is there matching HPL available for SM'art Rockefeller?
Yes — SM'art matching HPL is available in a 60 inch by 120 inch sheet and is sold separately. The HPL carries the same decor onto countertop and high-wear vertical surfaces the panel program does not cover on its own.
A Short-Roll Solution for a Specific Decor
The SMM022 Rockefeller 65 mm roll gives a shop the exact matching edge for thick-stock work in this decor without the inventory commitment of a production roll — practical for a focused run, the right width for the job at hand.
