Pura Vita ABS Edgebanding For Finishing Dark Ash Panel Edges
This is matching ABS edgebanding for the Pura Vita collection, color PVFS22 Frassino Scuro, supplied in a 43 mm wide, 54 foot roll at 1 mm thick. It is purpose-built to close the cut edges of Pura Vita panels in this decor, so the dark ash grain reads continuously from face to edge without a visible color break.
Key Features
- Vendor-matched decor: Produced by SALT International to pair with Pura Vita PVFS22 Frassino Scuro panels, so face and edge stay consistent.
- 43 mm width: Sized to trim flush on the panel thicknesses used in the Pura Vita program, with overhang on both faces for a clean finish.
- 54 foot short roll: The smaller roll format lets a shop run one color on a focused job without committing to a full 328 foot production roll.
- 1 mm ABS construction: Chlorine-free ABS polymer holds its edge under normal cabinet use and clears specifications that exclude PVC.
- Frassino Scuro dark ash finish: The deep, linear grain pattern works naturally on contemporary and transitional casework where a moody wood tone is specified.
Where This Edgebanding Fits the Job
Frassino Scuro translates loosely as dark ash, and the decor carries the weight that name implies: a deep-toned, straight-grained wood pattern that suits kitchen and bath cabinetry, closet systems, and commercial millwork where a darker palette anchors the design. The 43 mm width handles panel edges in the typical thickness range for the Pura Vita program. Because the banding is produced to match the panel collection, it eliminates the color-matching guesswork that comes with sourcing a generic dark wood band from a third party. Shops running a tight job with limited linear footage will find the 54 foot roll the right size to finish the work without leftover stock.
Material and Construction
ABS is the preferred polymer for edgebanding in European decorative panel programs because it is chlorine-free and dimensionally stable enough to hold a tight color match through the extrusion process. The 1 mm thickness gives the edge enough body to survive trimming and light handling while remaining thin enough to disappear against the face. Unlike PVC banding, ABS satisfies green building and institutional specifications that restrict chlorinated materials, which matters on commercial jobs where a submittals package is required. The Frassino Scuro decor is consistent through the roll, so there are no dead patches or color shifts that would read against the panel face after trimming.
Who Orders This Roll
Cabinet shops building out Pura Vita jobs in darker, more dramatic wood tones are the core buyer here. The 54 foot roll is sized for a single project or a small run of components rather than sustained production volume, making it practical for custom shops, designers sourcing for a specific installation, and contractors completing a focused millwork scope. If the job extends and a larger volume is needed, the 328 foot production roll in the same color carries the run forward without introducing a color shift.
Is this banding pre-glued or does it require a glue pot?
This roll is not pre-glued. It is applied with an edgebander using a hot-melt adhesive system, the same way any production ABS band is run.
Will this band work on panels from other SALT collections in a similar dark wood color?
It is produced specifically for Pura Vita PVFS22 Frassino Scuro. Other SALT collections have their own matched banding by color code, and a dark tone in one collection will not necessarily be an exact match to the same tone in another. Order by the matching part number for the collection you are running.
Why is 43 mm the right width for this panel program?
The 43 mm band is wider than the panel thickness, which gives the edgebander overhang on both the top and bottom face to trim flush. The result is a clean, square edge with no gap or short band on either side.
Does matching HPL exist for Pura Vita panels in this color?
Matching edgebanding is available for Pura Vita, as this listing shows. Matching HPL is not part of the Pura Vita program, so the countertop or horizontal surface would need to be sourced separately from a compatible HPL collection.
The Right Edge for a Finished Dark Ash Panel
A vendor-matched band in the correct decor is the detail that keeps a Frassino Scuro installation from reading as two separate materials. This roll delivers that match in the short-run format that fits a custom job, with chlorine-free ABS construction that holds up in the field and satisfies specification requirements on commercial work.
