Wide-Format ABS Edgebanding For Thick-Panel and Stacked Applications
This is the 65 mm wide ABS edgebanding in Saviola's Cimento color (GSDA4), with an Artstone finish, supplied on a 328-foot production roll at 1 mm thick. At 65 mm, this is the widest edgebanding in the Saviola matching program, sized to cover thicker panels, laminated assemblies, and stacked-substrate constructions where a 23 mm or 43 mm band falls short. The Artstone finish coordinates with the Cimento decor across the Saviola TFL panel collection.
Key Features
- 65 mm width gives the band enough face to trim flush on thick substrates, stacked boards, and heavy-duty shelf edges without piecing.
- 1 mm ABS construction is chlorine-free, dimensionally stable, and compatible with standard edgebanding machines and glue systems.
- Artstone finish in Cimento (GSDA4) is produced by the panel maker to match the Saviola TFL collection, so the edge reads as a single unbroken surface.
- 328-foot production roll keeps a high-volume run or multi-cabinet project moving without mid-job roll changes.
- ABS polymer takes fine trimming cleanly, holds a tight glue bond, and clears specifications that restrict PVC.
Where Wide Edgebanding Earns Its Place
Standard 23 mm banding is sized for a single 19 mm panel. Once a construction calls for laminated shelves, double-thickness countertop substrates, or applied base build-ups, the band runs short of the edge and the result is a compound edge that is difficult to finish cleanly. At 65 mm, this band covers those situations in a single pass. It is also the correct width for tall furniture face frames and for vertical panels where a wider visual edge is part of the design intent rather than a workaround. On a deep, concrete-look cabinet in the Cimento decor, the wider band turns the edge into a deliberate detail rather than an afterthought.
Material, Finish, and Machine Compatibility
ABS edgebanding is extruded from acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, a chlorine-free polymer. This matters on projects where the specification excludes PVC, a condition that appears more frequently in commercial, healthcare, and education work. The 1 mm thickness is within the feed range of all standard automatic edgebanders and most bench-top machines. The Artstone surface finish on the Cimento decor has the low-sheen, textured character of the panel face it is designed to accompany, so the edge does not stand out as a shinier or flatter interruption in the run. Because this banding is produced within the Saviola program, the color match is the manufacturer's own rather than a third-party approximation.
Who Specifies the 65 mm Width
Cabinet shops running laminated melamine interiors for commercial casework, library shelving, or retail fixtures reach for the wide roll when the construction calls for it. Designers specifying the full Cimento palette across a project, including panels, edges, and matching HPL horizontal surfaces, use this roll to complete the picture on any thick substrate in the run. For a shop that has already committed to Saviola Cimento on the faces, keeping the matching 65 mm roll in inventory means the wide-edge detail is never a reason to stop a job.
Can I apply this banding by hand, or does it require a machine?
This roll is unglued and requires a hot-melt adhesive system, either an automatic edgebander with a glue pot or a manual machine. It is not an iron-on pre-glued product. For small-shop hand application, a pre-glued version would be needed, and that is a separate item.
What panel thickness does 65 mm banding suit?
The 65 mm width is intended for substrates thicker than what 43 mm banding covers, typically laminated constructions, stacked panels, or single boards above roughly 38 mm. It leaves enough overhang on both faces to trim flush cleanly. On a standard 19 mm or 25 mm panel, the narrower 23 mm or 43 mm widths are the better fit.
Is matching HPL available in Cimento for countertop surfaces?
Yes, matching Saviola HPL is available in the Cimento color. It ships in both 73 inch by 120 inch and 60 inch by 120 inch sheet sizes, so a shop that cannot process the wider sheet has a full-size alternative. The edgebanding and the HPL are both produced within the Saviola program for consistent color across the job.
Is ABS banding compatible with the same glue as PVC banding?
Yes. Standard EVA and PUR hot-melt adhesives bond ABS the same way they bond PVC. No machine adjustment is needed when switching between the two materials at the same thickness, though the machine's temperature settings are always set to the adhesive manufacturer's recommendation.
The Right Edge Completes the Panel
A Cimento panel finished with its matching 65 mm ABS edge reads as a single designed element, not a faced board. This roll keeps that result achievable on thick constructions without compromise or special ordering mid-job.
