Wide-Format Banding And The Versatility To Finish More Edges
This 65 mm ABS edgebanding in Anthracite Linen (GSX7R) is the widest banding in the Saviola matching program, designed to trim flush on thick panel stock and cover the edges of multi-layer assemblies in a single pass. Its Calicot finish coordinates with the Saviola decorative panel collection so cut edges read as part of the finished surface rather than as exposed core.
Key Features
- 65 mm width handles thicker panels and stacked components that narrower banding cannot cover in one strip.
- 1 mm ABS construction is chlorine-free, making it compatible with specifications that restrict PVC materials.
- Calicot finish matches the GSX7R Anthracite Linen decor so face and edge read as one continuous surface.
- 328-foot roll supplies enough footage for a production run without mid-job splicing.
- Saviola collection match means the color and texture are sourced from the same program as the panel, not approximated from a third-party alternative.
Where the 65 mm Width Earns Its Place
Most edgebanding decisions come down to matching panel thickness, and the 65 mm format exists precisely for situations where 23 mm and 43 mm banding fall short. Thick cabinet sides, double-layer countertop edges, and stacked plywood assemblies all expose more core than a standard strip will cover. At 65 mm, this roll trims cleanly flush on panels well above 19 mm without requiring a second strip or a filler run. It also leaves enough overhang on thinner stock to clean up both faces in one pass, so the setup time stays the same regardless of which board thickness it runs on that day.
ABS Material and Calicot Finish Details
ABS banding differs from PVC in one practical way: it contains no chlorine. That makes it the right call for commercial interiors, healthcare environments, and institutional projects where sustainability specifications or indoor air quality standards restrict halogenated materials. The polymer also holds color consistently, so the Anthracite Linen tone stays stable across the full 328-foot roll rather than shifting in the later footage. The Calicot finish on this roll matches the emboss and sheen of the Saviola GSX7R panel face, so the transition from panel surface to edge is visually continuous under both direct and raking light.
Who Orders This Roll
Cabinet shops running Saviola Anthracite Linen panels reach for this roll when the job calls for thick-stock components or when the specification rules out PVC. Millwork contractors finishing commercial interiors where both the color and the material type need to hold up to scrutiny use the 65 mm format to avoid edge patchwork on built-up assemblies. Designers specifying the Saviola collection benefit from knowing the match is a factory-confirmed color pair, not a close approximation, so finish approval conversations stay simple. For a smaller run, the 23 mm roll in the same GSX7R decor handles standard 19 mm panel edges at a lower footage commitment.
Is this banding pre-glued or unglued?
This roll is unglued and intended for machine application with a hot-melt adhesive system. It is not an iron-on product.
Does the Calicot finish match the Saviola panel texture exactly?
Yes. The Calicot finish on this banding is produced within the Saviola program to coordinate with the GSX7R panel face. The emboss and sheen are matched so the edge reads continuously with the panel surface.
Why choose 65 mm over 43 mm for this job?
The 65 mm width is the right choice when panel thickness exceeds what 43 mm can cover cleanly, or when stacked-layer edges would otherwise require two strips. If the panels in the run are standard 19 mm stock and single-layer, the 43 mm roll covers the edge with less trim waste.
Is matching HPL available for the Saviola collection in this color?
Yes. Saviola matching HPL is stocked in 73 inch by 120 inch and 60 inch by 120 inch sheets, so you can carry the Anthracite Linen decor onto countertop and high-wear surfaces. The 60 inch sheet suits shops that cannot process the wider format.
The Right Finish for the Whole Job
A panel edge that matches the face makes the cabinet read as a complete piece rather than a faced board. This 65 mm Anthracite Linen roll in ABS gives production shops and specification-driven projects the coverage, the material compliance, and the factory-confirmed color match to close out the job cleanly.
