Tigerwood-Finish ABS Edgebanding For a Finished Edge That Holds Its Character
This is SALT Saviola ABS edgebanding in color GSDU6 Lava, a Tigerwood finish banding supplied on a 328-foot production roll at 43 mm wide and 1 mm thick. It is the matching edgebanding for Saviola TFL panels in the Lava decor, designed to close the cut edge so the face and edge read as one continuous surface rather than a faced board with an exposed core.
Key Features
- Tigerwood decor in color GSDU6 Lava — produced by the same maker as the Saviola panel, so the edge matches the face rather than approximating it.
- 43 mm width — sized to overhang a 19 mm panel on both faces, leaving enough material to trim flush cleanly.
- 1 mm ABS thickness — provides impact resistance at a machine-applied weight that runs on standard edgebanders.
- 328-foot roll — a full production roll suited to cabinet shops running multiple panels in this color.
- Chlorine-free ABS polymer — clears specifications that restrict PVC banding without requiring a material substitution conversation.
Where This Banding Fits the Work
A strong wood-grain decor like Tigerwood Lava reads well on a cabinet door or a featured wall panel, but the effect breaks down at a cut edge if the banding does not match. This roll is for shops running Saviola GSDU6 Lava panels on casework, closet components, retail fixtures, or any millwork application where the edge will be visible and handled. A 328-foot roll covers a meaningful production run in one color without forcing a mid-job reorder, which matters when a tight schedule does not tolerate a stop for materials.
Material and Construction
ABS edgebanding is extruded from acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, a chlorine-free polymer that holds a machined edge well and color-matches reliably across production runs. At 1 mm, the banding has enough body to take a corner without chipping while staying within the feed tolerance of production edgebanders. The Tigerwood pattern is produced to coordinate with the Saviola panel collection, so color and grain read consistently rather than as a close-but-not-quite match. ABS is also the preferred material where a specification rules out PVC — healthcare, education, and commercial interiors are the most common environments where that distinction comes up.
Who Orders This Roll
Cabinet shops and millwork operations that stock Saviola GSDU6 Lava panels are the primary buyers. A production roll is the right format for a shop running this color regularly — it eliminates the per-job scramble for a matching edge and keeps the color consistent across multiple jobs or across phases of a larger project. Designers specifying the Lava decor should confirm this banding at the same time as the panel, so the edge is not an afterthought when the panels are already cut. Contractors completing a casework install can use the same roll to address field cuts cleanly.
Does this banding require a specific adhesive or machine setup?
Standard hot-melt edgebanding equipment handles 1 mm ABS at normal feed settings. No adhesive is pre-applied — the banding runs through a glue pot on a production edgebander or a light-duty machine with a hot-melt cartridge. Check the machine manufacturer's recommendation for ABS feed speed if you are switching from PVC on the same run.
Is the Tigerwood pattern on this banding embossed or flat?
The source data does not specify a surface emboss on this banding. Request a sample before committing to a large run if texture matching between the panel face and the edge is a critical part of the specification.
Can this banding be used with panels from other collections or brands?
Technically the banding is an ABS strip and will adhere to any compatible substrate. For color matching, though, it is designed to coordinate with Saviola GSDU6 Lava panels. Against a different decor or a different brand's Tigerwood-style panel, the match is not guaranteed.
Is a narrower roll available for smaller jobs in this color?
The 43 mm width in the Saviola collection is supplied on a 328-foot production roll. A short roll is not listed for this width in the Saviola program. Confirm availability with your representative if a smaller quantity is needed for a one-off job.
Close the Edge. Keep the Decor Consistent.
Matching banding in the Tigerwood Lava decor is what keeps a Saviola GSDU6 panel looking like a finished component rather than a cut sheet — a 328-foot production roll keeps that match available for every job in this color without a sourcing gap between the panel and the edge.
