Intagli-Finish Edgebanding for Deep, Dark Panel Edges
This SM'art ABS edgebanding in color SMIN90 Noir closes the cut edges of SM'art decorative panels in a coordinated, textured black. The Intagli finish gives the band a structured surface character that complements the embossed face of the panel, so the edge reads as part of the design rather than an afterthought. The 65 mm width is sized to band thick panels and double-wall constructions where a 23 mm or 43 mm strip would leave the core exposed after trimming.
Key Features
- ABS polymer construction is chlorine-free, making it compatible with specifications that restrict PVC.
- 65 mm width provides generous overhang on thick panels and laminated stacks, trimming flush on both faces with material to spare.
- 1 mm thickness is the standard profile for machine application on an edgebander with a glue pot.
- Intagli finish carries a structured surface texture that coordinates with the embossed face of the SMIN90 Noir SM'art panel.
- 54-foot roll suits focused runs and single-job quantities without committing to production-length footage.
- Color SMIN90 Noir is the vendor-matched decor for this color within the SM'art collection, so face and edge align without color correction.
Where the 65 mm Width Earns Its Place
Most edgebanding runs cover a single panel thickness, and the narrower widths handle that cleanly. The 65 mm strip is for situations where the edge runs deeper: a cabinet side built from two glued panels, a thick slab door, a countertop build-up, or a feature wall component stacked for depth. Banding that is too narrow to overhang both faces cannot be trimmed flush, and the result is a visible step at the glue line. At 65 mm, this roll covers panel assemblies well beyond the standard 19 mm range and still leaves enough overhang on thinner stock to clean up without chasing the edge.
Dark colors also demand tighter color discipline than neutrals. A mismatched edge on a Noir panel stands out immediately. The vendor-matched decor means the SMIN90 Noir banding is formulated to the same color target as the panel face, not sourced as a close third-party approximation.
ABS Construction and Intagli Surface Detail
ABS edgebanding is chlorine-free by construction, which matters on specifications that prohibit PVC. The material also holds color and gloss consistently across the roll, so the first meter and the last meter of a run read the same. The Intagli finish is a textured surface emboss applied to the band to match the structured face of the SMIN90 Noir panel — both the face and the edge share the same relief character, which keeps the two surfaces from reading as different materials at a joint.
At 1 mm, this banding runs through a standard edgebander and builds a durable finished edge without adding visible bulk to the panel profile. It is designed for machine application with hot-melt adhesive.
Right Fit: Cabinetmakers Working in Dark, Textured Decors
Shops specifying the SM'art collection in SMIN90 Noir are the primary audience for this roll. The combination of a coordinated decor, a textured surface, and the wider 65 mm width makes it the specific answer for thick-panel and build-up work in this color. It also suits millwork and fixture work where a dark, structured edge finish is part of the design intent and a plain or mismatched band would read as a shortcut. A 54-foot roll is a practical quantity for a single project or a short production run without locking up inventory across a full 328-foot spool.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this edgebanding require a commercial edgebander, or can it be applied by hand?
At 1 mm and without a pre-applied adhesive, this banding is intended for machine application using a hot-melt glue pot edgebander. It is not an iron-on product. A shop without an edgebander would need to apply a separate hot-melt adhesive and use a bench edgebander or send the parts out.
Why would I choose the 65 mm width over the 23 mm or 43 mm options in the same color?
Width is chosen against the panel edge depth you need to cover. On a standard 19 mm single panel, 23 mm is sufficient. The 65 mm width is for thick stock, laminated assemblies, or any build-up where the edge runs deeper than what a narrower strip can overhang and trim flush on both faces.
Is this roll compatible with panels from other collections in the SALT International line?
This banding is matched to the SMIN90 Noir decor within the SM'art collection. While the color may read similarly to Noir panels in other collections, matching is only confirmed within SM'art. For panels in the Saviola, SALT 5, or PRO PET collections, use the edgebanding matched to that specific collection and color code.
Does SM'art have a matching high-pressure laminate in this color?
Yes. SM'art is one of the SALT International collections that includes matching HPL, available in 60 inch by 120 inch sheets. If the job calls for a countertop or high-wear surface in the same SMIN90 Noir decor, the SM'art matching HPL carries the color onto those components.
A Finished Edge That Holds Up to the Panel
When the panel face is a deep, textured black, a color-correct, texture-matched edge is the detail that makes the whole component read as intentional. This roll delivers that in a machine-ready format sized for the jobs where the narrower widths fall short.
