Edge banding- The unsung guardian of home quality and aesthetics

Edge banding is a decorative and protective material applied to the edges of engineered wood products, primarily used in the processing of particleboard, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), and plywood. Its main functions include:

Protecting the edges of the boards: Preventing moisture and dust intrusion, extending the lifespan of furniture.

Enhancing safety: Covering sharp edges of the boards to prevent accidental scratches.

Improving appearance: Providing a smooth, consistent surface finish for furniture edges.

Concealing the substrate: Hiding the internal structure of the engineered wood products, enhancing the overall aesthetics.
