Wide Coverage and a Rich Dark Tone for Thick-Panel Work
This Saviola ABS edgebanding in color GSAM3 Chocolate is the 65 mm wide option in the Gran Tour finish family, designed to band the exposed edges of thick decorative panels in this collection. The 328-foot production roll supplies enough footage for high-volume runs without frequent changeovers, and the ABS material is chlorine-free, keeping the project clear of PVC restrictions when those matter.
Key Features
- 65 mm width sized for thick panels and heavy-edge applications where a narrower band would not cover the substrate.
- 328-foot roll delivers production-scale footage so a commercial run does not stop mid-job for a band change.
- 1 mm ABS material is chlorine-free, dimensionally stable, and holds color and gloss match accurately against the panel face.
- Gran Tour finish coordinates with Saviola panels in the same finish family for a seamless face-to-edge read.
- GSAM3 Chocolate color is a deep, warm brown decor suited to contemporary and transitional casework where a rich tone anchors the design.
Where This Width Earns Its Place
The 65 mm band is not a universal width — it exists for situations where the edge being covered exceeds what a 23 mm or 43 mm strip handles cleanly. Think stacked panel assemblies, thick slab doors, laminated countertop edges, and plinth components where the substrate is deep enough that a narrower band would leave core exposed after trimming. On a standard 19 mm panel the extra width is simply trimmed away, but on an edge that runs 45 mm or deeper it does the job the other widths cannot. If the job is built around 19 mm stock and the edge will never run thick, the 43 mm roll in this same color is the more economical pick.
Color, Finish, and Material
GSAM3 Chocolate is a deep brown in the Saviola collection, warm enough to read as a natural wood tone in context without committing to a literal grain print. The Gran Tour finish gives the face a specific texture and sheen character shared across all Gran Tour colors in the Saviola line, so when the banding meets the panel face at the edge the two surfaces sit in the same family. ABS construction means the color holds stable under shop conditions and the strip does not require the same handling caution as a gloss foil band. The 1 mm thickness builds a durable edge that withstands contact and does not telegraph the joint line through the finish.
Who Reaches for This Roll
Cabinet shops running Saviola panel work in dark or medium-brown palettes will stock this roll alongside the matching panel. A 328-foot production roll suits a shop with an automated edgebander and a run long enough to justify loading a full coil. Smaller one-off jobs may find the footage more than needed for a single project, but the roll stores well and carries over to the next Chocolate-tone job without waste. Designers specifying Saviola for a full kitchen or a commercial millwork package can confirm color continuity by calling out the GSAM3 Chocolate banding alongside the panel SKU — the color code is the common thread across both products.
Will this banding work on a panel that is not from the Saviola collection?
The banding applies to any panel edge mechanically — the ABS strip does not know what core it is landing on. The color and texture match is specific to Saviola Gran Tour panels in GSAM3 Chocolate, so on a different collection the edge may read close but not matched. If the face panel is a different brand or collection, pull a sample to confirm before committing the run.
What panel thickness does the 65 mm width suit?
The 65 mm band covers edges well beyond the standard 19 mm cabinet panel. It is the right choice when edge depth runs from roughly 38 mm upward — stacked substrates, thick slab doors, laminated countertop profiles, and deep plinths. On a single 19 mm panel it is wider than necessary but still applies without issue, with overhang trimmed on both faces.
Is this roll pre-glued or does it need a glue pot?
This is unglued ABS banding, applied through an edgebander with a glue pot or a hot-melt cartridge system. It is not an iron-on roll.
Why specify ABS over PVC banding for this job?
ABS is chlorine-free, which matters when a project specification or a customer preference excludes PVC. Both materials produce a durable edge, but ABS also holds dimensional stability and color accuracy well at the narrow tolerances a matched color program requires.
The Right Edge Closes the Job
A panel edge that does not match the face undermines the whole surface investment. GSAM3 Chocolate in 65 mm gives thick-edge work the same finish continuity that narrower bands deliver on standard stock — the Chocolate tone lands consistently, the Gran Tour texture reads as one surface, and the ABS construction holds up to the handling that follows.
