Manhattan-Finish Edgebanding For Thick-Panel and Wide-Edge Work
This is the SM'art collection ABS edgebanding in Chrysler, color code SMM021, cut at 65 mm wide and supplied on a 54-foot short roll. At 1 mm thick and 65 mm wide, it is the right band for heavier panel stock, thick door fronts, or any edge where a 23 mm or 43 mm strip would leave the core exposed after trimming. The Manhattan surface finish carries the same texture and sheen as the SM'art decorative panel in this color, so the banded edge reads as a continuation of the face rather than a separate component.
Key Features
- 65 mm width covers thick panel stock and wide edges with enough overhang to trim flush on both faces.
- 1 mm ABS construction is chlorine-free, making it compatible with specifications that restrict PVC.
- Manhattan finish matches the SM'art panel surface texture in Chrysler so face and edge present as one continuous material.
- 54-foot short roll is sized for single-job runs and smaller shops that do not need a full production quantity.
- Color SMM021 Chrysler coordinates directly with SM'art TFL panels in the same decor for a consistent finished appearance.
Where This Width Gets Used
The 65 mm band is chosen when the panel is thick enough that a narrower strip cannot cover both the core and allow a clean flush trim on both faces. Thick shelving, stacked-panel door construction, and island countertop edges all create that condition. It also appears on frameless cabinet boxes where the designer wants a pronounced edge detail visible from the side — the extra width makes the edge a visual element rather than a seam to minimize. On a standard 19 mm or 3/4-inch panel, a 65 mm band leaves substantial overhang that trims off cleanly with a flush trimmer, so it works on thinner stock too when the shop prefers to run one wide roll rather than switching widths mid-job.
Material, Surface, and Construction
ABS polymer is the material of choice for collections where color fidelity and texture matching are the priority. Unlike PVC, ABS is chlorine-free and holds color and gloss more consistently across a matched program, which matters when the banding has to disappear against a panel face. The Manhattan finish is a defined surface texture in the SM'art collection — not a generic matte or gloss, but a specific emboss that aligns with the panel's own surface character. At 1 mm, the band is thick enough to withstand normal edgebander processing and post-trim handling without chipping or peeling. The 54-foot roll length is the short roll format in the SM'art program, intended for jobs and shop inventories that do not justify a full 328-foot production roll.
Who Specifies This Roll
Cabinet shops running SM'art panels in Chrysler need this roll to close the cut edges. The 65 mm width fits thick-panel applications and eliminates the need to source an oversized third-party band that may not match the Manhattan texture. Designers specifying SM'art by color code can call out SMM021 across panels and banding knowing the texture and tone coordinate by design. Smaller fabricators who process one or two jobs in a color before moving on benefit from the 54-foot format — it avoids committing a full production roll to a color that may not recur on the next job. For ongoing production in Chrysler, the 328-foot roll is the more economical choice.
Does the 65 mm width work on a standard 19 mm panel?
Yes. The overhang is generous, and a flush trimmer takes it off cleanly on both faces. Some shops run the wide roll on all their stock so they do not switch rolls between panel thicknesses.
Is this band pre-glued or does it need a glue pot?
This roll is not pre-glued. It is designed for machine application with a hot-melt edgebander. It is not an iron-on product.
Why ABS instead of PVC for this program?
ABS is chlorine-free, which satisfies specifications that restrict PVC. It also holds color and texture consistency more reliably across a matched decorative program, which is why SALT uses it for the SM'art collection edgebanding.
Is a longer roll available in this color and width?
The 54-foot roll is the short-run format. A 328-foot production roll is available for shops processing this color in higher volume.
The Right Edge for a Matched Result
A panel face that runs cleanly to the edge without a visible color or texture break is the mark of a finished cabinet. Specifying the manufacturer's own banding in the same color code and finish family is the most direct way to get there, and the 65 mm width covers the edge conditions a narrower strip cannot.
