When making millwork products that are used in commercial applications, an important element is how the edges are finished. EMI Industries is confident the construction techniques and materials we have developed over the last thirty years are the absolute best available. To create an indestructible edge we use 3mm PVC (polyvinyl chloride) edge banding that is chemically resistant and comes in infinite colors and patterns. Below are a few pointers to explain why this amazing material is worth the extra cost:
- Impact resistant - 3 mm edge banding cushions the blow. Objects deflect off of it allowing the laminate panels to stay chip free and new in appearance.
- Will not peel off - 3mm edge banding is applied with a dedicated edge bander using adhesive that is heated to 190 degrees Fahrenheit creating a very strong bond.
- 3mm edge banding comes in a limitless array of colors - Since the pattern or color is done photographically it can be matched exactly to their product.
- Cost effective in the long run - The combination of the impact resistance of the 3mm material and the impenetrable glue bond to the wood panel virtually eliminates the chance for chipping or damage to the edges. The life of the cabinet or fixture is thereby extended for years.
