Edgebanding For Single-Job Runs in a Rich Chocolate Tone
This 43 mm ABS edgebanding in GSAM3 Chocolate is part of the Saviola collection from SALT International, sized as a 54-foot short roll for shops that need a manageable quantity in a single color. At 1 mm thick with a Gran Tour finish, the strip is designed to close the cut edges of Saviola TFL panels in this decor so face and edge read as one continuous surface.
Key Features
- ABS material is chlorine-free, making it compatible with specifications that exclude PVC banding.
- 43 mm width provides adequate overhang on standard panel thicknesses for a clean flush trim on both faces.
- 54-foot roll is the short-roll format, sized for a single project without committing to a production-length supply.
- 1 mm thickness builds a durable, impact-resistant edge in a profile slim enough for most automated edgebanders.
- Gran Tour finish matches the surface texture of Saviola panels in this finish family, so the edge aligns with the face visually and to the touch.
- GSAM3 Chocolate color code ties the banding directly to the panel decor it is designed to accompany.
Where This Banding Fits in the Work
The 54-foot roll format suits cabinet shops running a single kitchen or bath project in this color, smaller millwork operations that do not want excess inventory on a specialty decor, and contractors finishing a defined scope without opening a full production roll. Chocolate is a warm, deep brown that works well on casework with visible end panels, open shelving where the edge is as prominent as the face, and commercial interiors where a grounded neutral is specified. The short roll format also suits prototype work and sample cabinet builds where the goal is to evaluate the color in context before committing to a larger purchase.
Material and Finish Details
ABS edgebanding resists chipping and impact better than paper-edge alternatives and holds color consistently across a run. The chlorine-free formulation means this strip clears green building specifications and commercial interiors programs that restrict PVC use. The Gran Tour finish is a textured surface from the Saviola collection, and the banding is produced to carry that same texture to the cut edge, so a finished cabinet door or shelf does not break character at the edge line. At 1 mm, the strip applies on standard automated edgebanders without requiring a specialty setup.
Who Orders This Roll
Custom cabinet shops handling residential renovation projects reach for the 54-foot roll when one color covers a kitchen island or a run of upper cabinets and the job does not justify stocking a longer quantity. Interior designers and millworkers specifying Saviola panels in the Gran Tour finish family will find this the direct match for GSAM3 Chocolate panels in that program. It is also a practical choice for shops sampling a new decor before adding it to a standing inventory, or for a contractor completing a touch-up run where only a short length is needed to finish exposed edges on site.
Does this banding apply on a standard edgebander or does it need a special setup?
At 1 mm thick and 43 mm wide, this strip runs on most automated edgebanders without modification. Confirm your machine's capacity for banding width if you are running a narrower panel, but the 1 mm thickness is within the normal operating range for edge processing equipment.
Is this roll pre-glued, or do I need to apply adhesive separately?
This roll is not pre-glued and is intended for machine application with a hot-melt glue system. For iron-on application on site repairs, a pre-glued format would be needed instead.
Why order the 54-foot roll instead of the 328-foot production roll?
The short roll limits your exposure on a specialty color. If the job is a single kitchen or a defined millwork scope, 54 feet covers the work without leaving a surplus roll of a decor that may not recur. The 328-foot roll is the right choice when this color is a standing item in your shop.
Will this banding match Saviola panels in other finish families?
The color code GSAM3 Chocolate matches Saviola panels carrying that decor code. The Gran Tour finish on this banding is designed to pair with Gran Tour panels specifically. If your panels are in a different finish family within the Saviola collection, confirm the matching banding code for that finish before ordering.
Close the Edge Without Breaking the Design
A carefully chosen panel decor loses consistency the moment the cut edge shows a different color or texture. This banding keeps GSAM3 Chocolate coherent from face to edge, so the finished piece reads as intended rather than as an assembled component.
