In the cabinetry and furniture industries edging refers to a narrow strip of veneer placed around the edges of a panel or sheet. Manufacturers use edging (or ‘edge band’) to cover the exposed edges of raw panel substrates such as MDF or particleboard. The benefit of edging is two-fold. First, it’s visually more appealing. Once applied it creates the appearance of a solid material or an illusion of solid timber. And second, as it seals the exposed edge and improves the sheets resistance to moisture and damage.
