Aluminum Edgings

Creating Accents with Aluminium

Aluminium edgings are versatile and compliment both plain and decor boards. Especially the combination of aluminium and wood turns furniture into exclusive eye-catchers. We supply aluminium edgings in rolls and as straight lengths in attractive finishes. For an easier processing, you can use ABS or melamine edgings with a solid aluminium finish.

In order to protect the high-grade look of the aluminium edgings, rolls are delivered with a protective film. The edging is sanded on the reverse side and a special primer is applied to ensure a secure bond.We stock aluminium edgings in small standard roll lengths.

Expert Tip

For reliable processing, you should always apply solid aluminium edgings with PUR hotmelt adhesive and heat them to approx. 45 - 50 °C first. To do so, use a veneer press or place hot air blowers underneath the edging table of the edgebanding machine. Before milling, both sides of the edging roll - i.e. the protrusions to be milled - should be treated with a cloth wet with Teflon spray. To complete this process you can then sand the radius / chamfer with 240 grit sandpaper and seal the milled edge with hard oil.
