SM'art ABS Edgebanding for Wider Panels and Thick-Edge Details
This SM'art ABS edgebanding in color SMIT03 Torino covers the cut edges of panels running at 19 mm or greater, where a 23 mm band would leave insufficient overhang for a clean trim. At 43 mm wide and 1 mm thick, the roll is sized for the wider edge profiles that appear on thick-slab doors, layered casework edges, and stacked panels. The Italia finish coordinates with the SM'art panel in the same Torino decor, so face and edge read as a continuous surface after trimming.
Key Features
- ABS polymer construction is chlorine-free, making it compatible with specifications that restrict PVC edgebanding.
- 43 mm width provides the overhang margin needed to trim flush on thicker panel stacks and built-up edges.
- 1 mm thickness delivers a durable, impact-resistant edge that holds up through daily cabinet use.
- Italia finish in SMIT03 Torino matches the SM'art panel collection so face and edge read as one surface.
- 54-foot short roll is sized for single jobs or limited runs without committing to a full production-length coil.
Where This Roll Fits in the Job
The 43 mm width is the right call when your panel thickness, edge build-up, or design detail exceeds what a 23 mm band can cleanly cover. Thick-slab door fronts, double-layered shelf edges, and panel frames with a visible stacked profile all benefit from the wider band's extra trim allowance. It also suits shops running a decorative edge detail where the banding itself is part of the visible profile rather than a minimal finish line. Pair it with SM'art TFL panels in SMIT03 Torino to carry the Italia finish continuously from face to edge without a color break.
Material and Finish
ABS edgebanding is extruded from acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, a polymer that is dimensionally stable and chlorine-free. That composition matters for commercial and healthcare specifications that exclude PVC, and it also gives the edge consistent color fidelity so the printed Torino decor aligns closely with the panel face. At 1 mm, the band provides enough body to take a knock without chipping while staying thin enough to profile and trim on standard edgebanding equipment. The Italia finish category describes the surface texture and sheen that SALT International applies to this decor in the SM'art collection.
Who Orders This Width
Cabinet shops building thick-slab fronts, millwork houses detailing panel frames, and commercial installers finishing stacked-panel displays are the primary buyers for 43 mm banding. The 54-foot short roll fits a single project or a small production run without the commitment of a 328-foot production roll, making it practical for a one-off specification or a shop trialing the Torino color before scaling up. Designers specifying a continuous SM'art surface across door faces and their edges will find the color coordination straightforward: one part number covers the edge in the same decor as the panel.
Why does this roll come in 54 feet rather than the longer production length?
The 43 mm and 65 mm widths are available in 54-foot short rolls alongside the 328-foot production length. The short roll exists so a single job or a small shop does not have to purchase several hundred feet of one color. For a high-volume run in Torino, the 328-foot roll is the more economical choice.
Is this banding pre-glued, or does it require a separate adhesive?
This roll is not pre-glued. It is applied with a glue pot or an automatic edgebander using a standard hot-melt adhesive. Pre-glued banding is a separate product intended for iron-on hand application.
Does SMIT03 Torino have a matching panel in the SM'art collection?
Yes. SMIT03 Torino is a color in the SM'art TFL collection, and this edgebanding is the vendor-supplied match for that decor. Order both from the same color program to keep face and edge consistent.
Can I use this band on a panel thinner than 19 mm?
You can, though the 43 mm width will leave significant overhang on a thinner panel. The 23 mm width is the standard match for 19 mm panels; 43 mm is selected where added width is intentional, whether for a thicker substrate or a built-up edge detail.
The Right Edge for a Finished SM'art Surface
When the panel face and the edge share the same Torino decor and Italia finish, the casework reads as a single material rather than an assembled component. This 43 mm roll delivers that result on the thicker edges and built-up profiles where the narrower width falls short.
