Italia Finish Edgebanding For a Seamless Firenze Edge
This roll of SM'art ABS edgebanding in color SMIT06 Firenze and Italia finish is made to close the cut edges of SM'art decorative panels so the face and edge read as one continuous surface. At 43 mm wide and 1 mm thick on a 54-foot roll, it is sized for panels in the 19 mm thickness range and scaled for a single project or a short production run without committing a shop to a full 328-foot coil.
Key Features
- Color-matched to SMIT06 Firenze — the decor and Italia finish align with the SM'art panel so the edge disappears against the face.
- 43 mm width — trims cleanly flush on a 19 mm panel with enough overhang to clean up both faces in a single pass.
- 1 mm ABS construction — chlorine-free polymer that holds its color and resists chipping on a finished edge.
- 54-foot short roll — right-sized for a single job or a sample run, avoiding leftover footage of a specialty color.
- Italia finish surface — the texture and sheen of the banding carry the Italia finish character from the panel face around to the edge.
Where This Edgebanding Does Its Best Work
The 54-foot roll is the practical answer for a cabinet shop building a single kitchen or bath run in Firenze. There is enough footage to band a full set of doors and drawer fronts without the waste that comes from buying a production roll for one color. It also works well for a designer specifying SM'art panels on a commercial millwork package who needs a confirmed color match in hand before the full order ships. The 43 mm width handles 19 mm stock cleanly and pairs with standard edgebander tooling, so there is no machine setup change between this roll and the next.
Material and Finish Details
ABS is the banding material of choice where PVC is restricted or where a specification calls for chlorine-free content. It is dimensionally stable enough to hold tight color and gloss registration against a panel face, which is exactly what a color-match program demands. The Italia finish on SMIT06 Firenze has a specific texture and sheen character, and this banding is produced to that same surface so a mitered corner or an exposed shelf edge does not break the finish reading. The 1 mm thickness is the standard for furniture and casework edgebanding applied by machine or by hand press.
The Right Fit for This Roll
Small cabinet shops, custom millwork studios, and on-site installers finishing punch-list repairs all benefit from a short roll in a specific color rather than a production coil. If a project calls for SM'art panels in Firenze with Italia finish, this roll is the matching component the color program is built around. Shops running high volume in this color can step up to the 328-foot production roll; this 54-foot option keeps a specialty color in reach for every scale of job.
Is this banding pre-glued or does it need adhesive?
This roll is unglued edgebanding intended for application with an edgebander's glue pot or a hand-press with separate hot-melt adhesive. It is not an iron-on product.
Does the Italia finish on the banding match the Italia finish on the SM'art panel exactly?
Yes. The banding is produced in the same SMIT06 Firenze decor and Italia finish as the SM'art panel, so the texture and sheen carry from face to edge without a visible break.
Will 43 mm work on panels thinner than 19 mm?
It will apply to thinner panels, but the overhang after trimming will be greater. The 43 mm width is optimized for 19 mm stock. For significantly thinner panels, check whether a narrower width is available in this color.
Is ABS banding suitable for commercial specifications that restrict PVC?
Yes. ABS is chlorine-free, so it satisfies specifications that exclude PVC edgebanding. Confirm the specific specification language with your project team if the requirement is strict.
One Color, Carried All the Way to the Edge
A panel that matches at the face but breaks at the edge reads as unfinished. This roll puts the Firenze color and Italia finish exactly where the panel stops, so the completed component looks like it was built that way from the start.
