You’ll see a lot of acrylic edge banding on the market when deciding which edging you need for your project. But what is it? Why should you choose it and what makes it right for the job?
3D Acrylic Edging…
3D acrylic edge banding is made by high-quality acrylic resin. Its features are high transparency,weather resistance,impact resistance and abrasion resistance. This product has many color choices,strong 3 dimensional effect, and it is commonly used for classy panel furniture with 3D pattern edge banding.It can do single color and double color. And the strong stereoscopic impression make it become the best choice of high end cupboard.
A unique property of acrylic edge banding is the ability to produce a 3D effect, creating a visually exciting interplay of light and depth. It’s achieved by printing the pattern on the under layer of the edging rather than the surface, with a clear layer of acrylic over the top. The design is essentially encased in a coating of tough, beautifully transparent plastic so that once the edging is applied, the pattern is never exposed to scuffs and wear – any scratches on the outer layer of acrylic can be easily buffed away. The integrity of the design is never disturbed and the whole effect is luminous, with seamless transitions between edges and around angles. It can be polished to whatever level of matte or sheen finish you desire, without damaging the underlying print.
You can take your furniture design to a new level with 3D acrylic edging; use it to create a crystal, glass effect around the edges of your boards, a polished, gloss finish over the top of wood, metallic or granite effect edging or a super high gloss finish to block colours. It really does offer endless design possibilities.
Why Choose Acrylic Edging?
We think this is a pretty cool material to use for edge banding and there are new designs and ways of harnessing its properties for decorative effect emerging all the time. We really are seeing the boundaries being pushed for finishes that can be achieved. Imagine a kitchen island in a real wood or granite effect with super tough, perfectly matched 3D acrylic edging, so sleek that you can’t see where the board ends and the edging begins. And it stays that way, because the acrylic edging not only looks good but ensures the pattern underneath is not exposed to damage. Or how about a stunning reception desk, with a colour-pop edging and acrylic 3D finish that shines and gives the illusion of depth for that extra oomph. A great way to catch the eye and make a good first impression in a contemporary, corporate environment.
Mix up your patterns, colours and textures on boards and edgings, all coated in a stunning crystal clear acrylic for the illusion of poured glass – but much tougher. Think wood effect with metallic edging, or colour block boards with multiplex, wood effect or patterned edging. Whatever you can imagine – and any scratches and marks can be easily buffed away so your interiors stay looking the way you want for much longer.
