SM'art ABS Edgebanding For Wide-Panel Edge Finishing
This 65 mm ABS edgebanding in Roma (SMIT05) from SALT International's SM'art collection is built for panel edges that need extra coverage. At 65 mm wide and 1 mm thick, it handles thicker substrates and wide-edge applications while delivering a clean, consistent Italia finish that reads as a seamless extension of the panel face. The 54-foot short roll is sized for targeted runs, letting a shop match banding to a specific job without committing to a full production roll.
Key Features
- 65 mm width provides ample overhang for trimming flush on thick substrates or double-layer constructions.
- 1 mm ABS construction is chlorine-free, making it suitable for specifications that restrict PVC edgebanding materials.
- 54-foot short roll keeps inventory manageable for targeted jobs or single-project quantities.
- Italia finish matches the SM'art collection's surface character for a consistent edge-to-face appearance.
- Roma color (SMIT05) coordinates with SM'art panels in this decor for an edge that disappears into the face.
Where This Banding Works
The 65 mm width is the widest option in the SM'art edgebanding program, and it earns its place where standard 23 mm banding simply does not have enough material to work with. Double-layer door constructions, thick composite panels, and edge profiles that require extra overhang before trimming all call for this width. It also suits shops that want one banding width that covers the trim step cleanly without having to manage multiple widths across a job. Because it matches the SM'art TFL panel program, it is the natural choice any time Roma panels are in the cut list.
Material and Finish
ABS polymer gives this banding dimensional stability and a clean, consistent gloss response that holds a color match across an entire roll. The Italia finish on the SM'art collection sits in a specific sheen family that the face panels share, so the edge and face read at the same visual weight under a range of lighting conditions. ABS is chlorine-free by composition, which matters on commercial and institutional projects where material restrictions in the specification go beyond simple color matching. The 1 mm thickness bonds reliably on an edgebander and trims without chipping at the corner.
Who Reaches For This Roll
Cabinet shops running SM'art Roma panels are the core buyer here. When the panel is in the job, the matching banding is not optional — a third-party color read differently under the same light source will show. The 54-foot short roll also suits millwork operations that work in Roma occasionally and want to keep a single roll on the shelf without tying up footage they may not use for months. Designers specifying SM'art collections can call this part number directly, knowing the color and finish reference are exact matches to the panel program.
Is this banding pre-glued or does it require a glue pot?
This roll is unglued and is intended for use on an edgebander with a glue pot or hot-melt system. It is not an iron-on product.
Why choose the 54-foot roll over a longer production roll?
The 54-foot roll exists for jobs where a full 328-foot roll would leave significant unused footage. If Roma is a recurring color in your shop, the longer roll lowers cost per foot and reduces roll changes.
Does this banding work on panel thicknesses other than 19 mm?
Yes. The 65 mm width provides enough overhang to trim flush on panels from 19 mm through double-layer constructions well beyond that. It is specifically the right width when a standard 23 mm band does not leave adequate trim margin.
Is matching HPL available in Roma for countertop work?
SM'art matching HPL is available in a 60 inch by 120 inch sheet for carrying the Roma color onto countertops and other surfaces the panel program does not cover directly. Confirm the color code with your order to ensure the HPL and banding are on the same decor reference.
The Right Edge Finish For the Job
When the panel is Roma, the edge should be Roma. This short roll keeps the match exact and the inventory practical, so the finished cabinet reads as one surface from face to edge.
