Edge banding of boards is very important!

In the process of decorating a new house, custom wardrobes are a very important part. In addition to product design, material selection, style matching and other aspects, details such as board edge banding must not be ignored.

Some people ask, "Since we've already chosen high-quality, environmentally friendly wood panels, is it still necessary to edge-band them?" We've discussed this topic before, and now we'll discuss why details determine success and why edge-banding is crucial. The quality of edge-banding not only affects the lifespan and environmental performance of furniture, but also its overall texture and aesthetic.

The board started out like this

The decoration effect with edge banding is like this

We can see at a glance that the second one is more beautiful, so what is the reason for edge sealing of the board? Let us reveal the answer to you.

First, prevent moisture intrusion

People who have lived in the south for a long time know that the south is relatively humid, and the probability of the board being affected by moisture and deforming is very high. Edge sealing can prevent moisture in the humid air from invading the board and prevent problems such as deformation of the board.

Second, effectively prevent the release of harmful substances from the board

Although there are different grades of wood panels, good quality wood panels are not a problem. However, ordinary wood panels contain varying levels of formaldehyde. If people live in an environment with high formaldehyde concentrations for a long time, many health problems will occur, threatening our health. Edge sealing can appropriately reduce the release of these harmful substances in the wood panels, protecting our health.

Third, reinforce the board to make the wardrobe more beautiful

Edge banding is helpful in reinforcing the board. At the same time, the wardrobe side is matched with the same color edge banding, the color is unified, and the overall effect of the wardrobe is more beautiful. Of course, if you want to edge band the board, you should choose the same color product.

Types of edge banding

First, wooden edge banding, such as birch, oak, maple, cherry, etc. Many high-end homes use this to seal the edges.

Second, PVC edge banding, made of polypropylene or polyvinyl chloride, can be processed into wood grain, solid color, or two-color. It is used for low- and medium-end furniture. It is relatively soft and easy to construct. Many carpenters use this material to seal the edges of furniture.

Third, melamine edge banding uses paper printed with various wood grains, flowers, leather, and marble patterns as the base, which is then impregnated and solidified with modified melamine fat to form a paper edge banding.

Of course, there are other types of edge banding, such as metal edge banding, which are not used very often.

What are the edge banding methods?

First, glue sealing

There are three main types of glue used: all-purpose glue, hot melt glue and white latex, and hot melt glue works best.

Second, U-shaped buckle edge

The edge banding has U-shaped buckles on both sides, which can be directly buckled onto the cut wardrobe boards, which is convenient and practical.

Final note:

Good edge banding must be matched with good boards to make it not only environmentally friendly but also beautiful. Environmentally friendly boards can make your edge banding not only beautiful but also stable and safe.
