328-Foot ABS Edgebanding For Wide-Panel and Thick-Stock Applications
This roll of Saviola ABS edgebanding brings the Rialto Hemlock decor in color GSDS8 to every cut edge of your panel, closing the raw core so face and edge read as one continuous surface. At 43 mm wide and 1 mm thick, it is sized for panels thicker than a standard 19 mm board, giving the trimmer plenty of material to work with on a flush cut. The 328-foot roll keeps a production run moving without a mid-job changeover.
Key Features
- Rialto Hemlock decor (GSDS8) matches the Saviola panel collection so face and edge share the same pattern and tone.
- 43 mm width provides generous overhang for trimming flush on panels thicker than 19 mm.
- 1 mm ABS thickness delivers a durable, impact-resistant edge that holds up to daily handling.
- Flash Finish surface coordinates with the corresponding Saviola panel finish family for a consistent appearance across the component.
- 328-foot production roll suits cabinet shops running full jobs without stopping to reload.
- Chlorine-free ABS material clears specifications that restrict or exclude PVC edgebanding.
Where This Edgebanding Earns Its Place
The 43 mm width steps up where a standard 23 mm band would leave little margin. Panels built to 25 mm, 28 mm, or custom composite thicknesses need the extra width to land cleanly on both faces after a flush-trim pass. It also suits a 19 mm panel run where the shop prefers more overhang as insurance against chatter or a slightly uneven feed. Cabinet boxes with visible end panels, open shelving that shows both the face and the edge, and drawer partitions are all natural fits. Anywhere the Rialto Hemlock decor is specified on the panel, this banding closes the edge in the same color and finish without a visible seam line.
Material and Finish
ABS is the material of choice for European panel programs precisely because it is chlorine-free. Shops working on institutional, healthcare, or green-building jobs increasingly encounter specifications that call out PVC by name and exclude it. ABS clears those specs without compromising the bond or the edge durability PVC is known for. At 1 mm, the band is thick enough to absorb a minor edge impact without exposing the core, and the Flash Finish surface aligns with the texture and sheen of the Saviola panel it is designed to accompany. The result is an edge that disappears against the face rather than reading as a separate material.
The Right Shop for This Roll
A 328-foot roll makes the most sense for a cabinet shop or production millwork operation running Rialto Hemlock across multiple jobs. It is a commitment in roll footage, so it rewards shops that move through a color rather than those buying for a single cabinet. If the job calls for a full closet build, a run of retail fixtures, or a multi-room install where Rialto Hemlock is the specified panel, this roll length keeps the line running. Designers and specifiers matching edgebanding to a Saviola panel schedule will find the GSDS8 code the reliable cross-reference between the panel color and this roll.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this banding require a dedicated edgebander, or can it be applied by hand?
This roll is unglued and intended for machine application with a glue pot or hot-melt edgebander. For hand application, a pre-glued roll is the better choice. A standard production edgebander handles 1 mm ABS at 43 mm without any special tooling.
Will the Flash Finish on the banding match the Flash Finish on the Saviola panel exactly?
Saviola produces this banding as part of the matching program for the Rialto Hemlock decor, so the finish family and decor are aligned. As with any panel and banding pairing, ordering from the same production run minimizes any minor batch variation.
Is 43 mm the right width for a standard 19 mm panel?
It works, but it provides more overhang than most 19 mm applications need. The 23 mm width is the more common choice for 19 mm stock. The 43 mm width is the correct selection for panels in the 25 mm to 32 mm range, or wherever the shop wants extra margin for trimming.
Is this edgebanding chlorine-free?
Yes. ABS is inherently chlorine-free, which distinguishes it from PVC edgebanding. It is an appropriate choice for projects where PVC is restricted by a green building specification or a client requirement.
Close Every Edge in the Same Decor
Matching the banding to the panel is the step that turns a faced board into a finished component. This Rialto Hemlock roll in the 43 mm width makes that possible at production scale, giving a shop the footage it needs to carry the color from the face all the way to the edge.
