Edge banding is the process of gluing bands or strips of different materials and thicknesses to cover the sides of raw wood or non-wood materials. You`ve probably known it your whole life but wasn`t aware that the process is known as edge banding. The strip is used to give a finished look to a piece of furniture and hide its rough edges, and also protect it from abrasions and early decay.
Edge bands come in different thickness and types and chosen based on the material it is used to cover, and is, almost always, one that most resembles wood. These sleek edge bands cover the exposed rough edges of the plywood, MDF, particle boards or any other wooden furniture to give it that perfect finished, inviting look.
