Wide-Format ABS Edgebanding for Thick-Edge SM'art Panels
This SM'art ABS edgebanding in color SMIT06 Firenze is the 65 mm width, sized to dress the exposed edge of thicker panels and wide-edge applications where a 23 mm or 43 mm band would fall short. It ships on a 54 foot roll, the right quantity for finishing out a focused run without committing to a full production coil. The Italia finish coordinates directly with the SM'art panel collection so face and edge read as one continuous surface.
Key Features
- 65 mm width provides generous overhang on thick substrates and wide-format edge profiles, trimming cleanly flush on both faces.
- 1 mm ABS construction is chlorine-free, meeting specifications that restrict PVC, and holds color precisely for a consistent edge-to-face match.
- Italia finish matches the SM'art panel program surface texture and tone for SMIT06 Firenze, so the banding integrates rather than contrasts.
- 54 foot roll is the short-run format, practical for smaller batches, site repairs, or jobs where only a few sheets of this color are in the cut list.
- SMIT06 Firenze color code keys directly to the SM'art collection, making it straightforward to cross-reference against the panel SKU and confirm the match before ordering.
Where This Width Belongs in the Cut List
The 65 mm band is the widest in the SM'art edgebanding program, and it earns its place when the panel edge is too deep for a narrower strip to cover cleanly. Thick composite builds, stacked-panel constructions, and wide profiled edges all demand a band that leaves enough overhang to trim without breaking through to the substrate. On a standard 19 mm panel a 23 mm band is the routine choice, but once the edge climbs past 25 mm or so, this width takes over. It is also the right call for a decorative thick-edge door or drawer front where the edge is a visible design element and a narrow band would look undersized. The 54 foot roll suits shops that are not running a continuous production of this color but need enough material to close out a complete job without splicing mid-edge.
ABS Material and the Italia Finish
ABS edgebanding is chlorine-free, which is the practical advantage over PVC where green building specifications, school work, or healthcare environments restrict halogenated plastics. It also maintains color stability and gloss consistency well, which matters most at the wide widths where more face area is visible on the finished edge. The Italia finish on SMIT06 Firenze is calibrated to the SM'art TFL panel surface, so the sheen and texture of the band align with the panel face rather than reading as a separate material. Color matching across a large edge, as the 65 mm width creates, depends on that finish consistency holding across the full band width.
Who Reaches for This Roll
Cabinet shops specifying SM'art panels in Firenze for thick-edge door fronts, furniture makers building wide-profile pieces, and commercial millwork operations finishing deep-reveal casework are the natural buyers for this width. Designers who have called out SMIT06 Firenze in a specification can confirm the match directly from the color code. The 54 foot roll format also makes it accessible for smaller shops completing a one-off project or a modest commercial installation without the overhead of a 328 foot production roll.
What panel collection does this edgebanding match?
This banding is part of the SM'art program from SALT International and is produced to match SM'art TFL panels in color SMIT06 Firenze. The color code is the reliable cross-reference between the panel SKU and this edgebanding roll.
Why would I choose the 65 mm width over the 43 mm or 23 mm options in the same color?
Width is selected against the depth of the edge you are finishing. On a thick-edge application, a stacked build, or a wide-profile decorative edge, only the 65 mm band provides enough overhang to trim cleanly without running short. For a standard 19 mm carcass edge, the 23 mm band is the usual choice.
Is ABS edgebanding compatible with standard edgebanders?
Yes. ABS runs on the same equipment as PVC edgebanding. The glue chemistry and temperature settings are the same, so no machine adjustment is needed when switching from PVC to ABS stock.
Does this roll come pre-glued?
This roll is unglued, intended for use with an edgebander or a glue pot and manual application. It is not an iron-on product.
Is a longer roll available in this width and color?
The 54 foot roll is the available format for the 65 mm width in the SM'art program. The 328 foot production roll is offered in the two narrower widths for this collection.
The Right Edge Closes the Job
A panel cut to size is only as finished as its edge. This 65 mm SM'art ABS band in Firenze brings the wide-edge detail up to the same standard as the panel face, so the finished component reads as a complete, intentional piece rather than a faced board with an afterthought edge.
