SM'art ABS Edgebanding in Empire with a Manhattan Finish, 23mm width x 328' length roll, 1mm Thick

SM'art ABS Edgebanding For Consistent Color Across Every Cut Edge

This is matching ABS edgebanding for SALT International's SM'art collection, color SMM020 Empire, Manhattan Finish. The 23 mm wide, 1 mm thick strip is cut to travel with a full production run, arriving on a 328-foot roll sized for shop-volume work. Where an Empire panel meets the saw, this band closes the edge so the color reads unbroken from face to edge.

Key Features

• Vendor-matched color SMM020 Empire — produced by SALT International to pair directly with the Empire color in the SM'art decorative panel program.
• Manhattan Finish surface — the texture and sheen match the panel face, so the banded edge disappears against the field.
• ABS polymer construction — chlorine-free material suited to specifications that restrict PVC.
• 23 mm width — sized to trim flush on standard 19 mm panels with enough overhang to clean up both faces cleanly.
• 328-foot production roll — a full-run quantity that keeps the edgebander loaded through a large casegoods project without a mid-job changeover.
• 1 mm thickness — a standard machine-applied profile that sits flush after trimming without a visible step at the edge.

Where This Edgebanding Earns Its Place

An Empire panel cut to a cabinet box or shelf part exposes the raw core at every edge. Left unfinished, that edge breaks the color read and telegraphs the substrate construction. Matching edgebanding solves the problem at the machine: run the strip on a standard edgebander, trim it flush, and the finished component looks like one continuous surface rather than a faced board. The 328-foot roll is the format a production shop reaches for when a project involves enough lineal edge footage that short rolls would mean stopping to reload — a closet system, a run of kitchen uppers, a suite of commercial millwork. The roll does not run out in the middle of the job.

Material and Finish

ABS is the standard polymer for European decorative panel programs, and it is the material SALT International specifies for the SM'art collection's matching edgebanding. Unlike PVC, ABS is chlorine-free, which clears it for specifications where halogenated materials are restricted. The Manhattan Finish on this strip is the same texture family the corresponding SM'art panel carries, so the emboss and gloss level read consistently where the banding meets the face. The 1 mm profile applies cleanly through a glue pot edgebander and trims to a tight, durable edge that holds up to normal casework handling.

The Right Fit For This Roll

Cabinet shops running SM'art panels in the Empire color are the direct audience. Whether the job is a production run of residential closet components or a batch of commercial office cabinets, the 328-foot roll format eliminates the interruption of a short-roll changeover. Designers specifying SM'art for an interior finish where cut edges will be visible need to confirm the banding alongside the panel order — the color match is only guaranteed within the vendor's own program. Contractors assembling prefabricated components on site benefit from the same match assurance: banded edges that already match remove a touch-up variable from the install.
