What Is Metal Edge Banding?

 

Metal Edgebanding rolls feature a protective release coating for automatic edgebanding machine applications. Metal Edgebanding is available in Brushed Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Polished Chrome, Brushed Brass and Brushed Copper, all anodized aluminum with a primer painted in a similar color for easy finishing with little or no impact on tooling.

 

Advantages of Metal Edge Banding

 

 

Strength
Metal is known for its exceptional strength. This is especially true of steel – it can withstand a lot of ground movement and is less likely to deform when struck. Steel edging is great for retaining walls and, due to its strength, is equally well suited for subtle driveway borders. Aluminum is known for being slightly softer. However, in many cases, it will still hold its shape for a long time.

 

Sharpness
Because metal edging can be made very thin while still maintaining its strength, it can have a subtlety that other forms of edging lack. A slightly protruding metal edging that separates the lawn from the gravel path can create a nearly invisible effect while maintaining a clean straight line between the grass and gravel. Of course, metal edging doesn’t have to be subtle, and there are ways to turn it into a statement piece (like decorative cast iron), but those who want a minimalist look will find metal the best solution.

 

Waterproofing
Unlike wood and some bricks, metal doesn’t absorb water. It won’t rot or flake and will hold its shape. Yes, most types of metal will corrode in water. But the metal commonly used for landscape edging won’t wear away, but simply develop a patina. This weatherproof quality makes metal a popular choice.

 

Long-lasting
While it depends on the quality of the metal, both steel and aluminum edging can generally be expected to last for 20 years or more. This is much longer than wooden edging, which can generally last 5 to 10 years. If properly maintained, metal edging can last for decades. Many warranties cover metal edging for 10 to 15 years.

 

Easy to install
While some metal edging can be very complex and therefore a hassle to install, most metal edging is easy to install in the ground. As mentioned earlier, some metal edging has nails or stakes to help secure it. You can find many videos online that teach you how to install them.

How to Keep Metal Edgebanding Long-Lasting?

Avoid water damage
One of the most common ways metal edgebanding can get damaged is through contact with water. Water can cause the adhesive that holds the metal edgebanding in place to break down, causing the metal edgebanding to loosen or fall off completely.

To avoid this, keep your furniture away from water sources like windows, sinks, and water heaters. Also, be sure to wipe up spills promptly. This will ensure that your metal edgebanding lasts longer.

 

Avoid extreme temperature changes
Just like water, extreme temperature changes can damage edgebanding. When the temperature is too low, the adhesive becomes brittle and cracks.

Conversely, when the temperature is too high, the adhesive becomes soft and sticky, making it difficult for the edgebanding to stay in place. To protect metal edgebanding, avoid placing your furniture near heaters or air conditioners.

 

Use coasters
One of the best ways to protect metal edgebanding (and furniture) is to use coasters. Coasters help to evenly distribute the weight, preventing the metal edgebanding from loosening over time. Additionally, they protect the furniture surface from scratches and water damage.

 

Avoid sharp objects
Sharp objects can scratch, dent, or damage the edgebanding. To avoid this, be careful when handling sharp objects near furniture. Also, avoid placing sharp objects on top of furniture, as this can cause damage even if the object does not directly touch the edgebanding.

 

Clean gently
When cleaning furniture, always use a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Harsh chemicals and abrasive scrubbing can damage the surface of the metal edgebanding (and furniture).

Also, be sure to avoid using too much water when cleaning, as this may cause the adhesive holding the tape to break.

 

Application of Metal Edge Banding

 

 

Furniture

Edge banding using metal can be used on the edges of furniture such as tables.

Kitchen countertops

When you apply this tape to kitchen countertops, it not only adds to its decorativeness but also improves its durability.

Retail facilities

Display cabinets and shelves can be edged with metal edge banding to enhance elegance and durability.

Walls and doors

Metal edge banding can be used on the edges of walls or doors in commercial and architectural settings.

Exterior uses

Since metal is resistant to corrosion, you can apply it to the edges of exterior surfaces such as balconies, decks, and outdoor furniture.

Automotive

Parts such as armrests, door panels, and dashboards in the interior of cars can be decorated with metal tape.

 

Cabinets

This requires the use of tape on items such as kitchen cabinets and built-in wardrobes.

Marine applications

Since metal is resistant to corrosion, you can use it to decorate items that are exposed to salt water and moisture.

 

 

Material of Metal Edge Banding

Steel
This is the most common metal of the two. Steel is able to be molded into very thin strips while remaining very strong. This makes it a good choice along a gravel driveway where it won’t be bent out of shape if someone accidentally runs they’re tire over it. It will also withstand ground movement and form a solid barrier against rogue tree roots. Just be wary that most forms of steels will eventually rust and corrode. Corten steel is a common choice that rusts but doesn’t really wear away – instead hardening up.

 

Aluminum
Some people prefer aluminum to steel because it does not rust. Aluminum is also softer than steel which allows it to be bent into more elegant curves. It is not as strong as aluminum, but this may not matter if it’s placed in an area where it’s unlikely to receive a hard knock.

How to Maintain Metal Edge Banding

 

Dry cloth wiping
Gently wipe the surface of the metal edge banding with a soft dry cloth to remove dust and stains accumulated during daily use. This method is suitable for situations with slight pollution and will not cause damage to the metal surface.

 

Wipe with a slightly damp cloth
If the dry cloth wiping effect is not good, a slightly damp cloth (ensuring that the cloth does not drip water) can be used for wiping. This method can better remove some stubborn stains, but it is important to avoid excessive moisture that can cause rust on the metal surface.

 

Cleaning agent selection
Choose a cleaning agent suitable for metal surfaces for cleaning. Avoid using cleaning agents containing acidic or alkaline components to prevent corrosion of metals. You can choose cleaning agents specifically designed for metal cleaning on the market, or make some mild cleaning agents yourself (such as white vinegar diluted with water).

 

Cleaning steps
Firstly, spray the cleaning agent onto the surface of the metal edge strip, or gently wipe it with a soft cloth dipped in the cleaning agent.
Then, use a clean damp cloth or sponge to wipe off any residue of the cleaning agent.
Finally, dry the metal surface with a dry cloth to ensure that there is no residual moisture.

 

Avoid scratching
During the cleaning process, avoid using hard objects or rough fabrics to directly wipe the metal surface to avoid scratching the metal edge banding.

 

Timely cleaning
When stains are found on the metal edge banding, they should be cleaned in a timely manner to avoid the stains staying on the metal surface for a long time and causing difficult to remove marks.

 

Keep dry
After cleaning, ensure that the surface of the metal edge banding is dry to avoid rust caused by residual moisture.

 

Regular maintenance
In addition to daily cleaning, metal edge banding can also be regularly maintained, such as applying a thin layer of rust proof oil or protective wax, to enhance its corrosion resistance and glossiness.

 

 
Safety Precautions When Using the Metal Edge Banding

How to Install The Metal Edge Banding

 

Prepare tools and materials
● Edge banding: Choose the metal edge banding that suits your needs.
● Cutting tools: Such as scissors, saws, etc., used to cut the edge banding to the appropriate length.
● Adhesive or fixing materials: According to the characteristics of the edge banding and the substrate, choose the appropriate adhesive (such as hot melt adhesive, strong double-sided tape, etc.) or fixing materials (such as nails, screws, etc.).
● Other tools: Such as rulers, rubber hammers, angle grinders, etc., used for measuring, tapping, and trimming.

 

Cleaning and measuring
Clean the surface of the area where the edge banding is required to ensure that there is no dust, oil or other impurities.
Measure the required length of the edge banding with a ruler and mark it.

 

Cutting edge banding
According to the measurement results, use the cutting tool to cut the edge banding to the appropriate length, and pay attention to keep the cut flat to avoid burrs.

 

Fix the edge banding
Gluing: Apply an appropriate amount of glue on the back of the edge banding or the edge of the substrate, and pay attention to evenly apply the glue to avoid too much or too little.

 

Attach edge banding
Attach the edge banding to the edge of the substrate to ensure that it fits tightly with the substrate. Use a rubber hammer to gently tap the edge banding to make it more secure. If nails or screws are used for fixing, holes need to be drilled in the edge banding and the nails or screws need to be driven into the substrate. Pay attention to the length of the nails or screws to avoid damaging the substrate or edge banding.

 

Finishing and inspection
After the edge banding is installed, use tools such as angle grinders to trim the edge banding to ensure that its edges are flat and smooth. Check the installation quality of the edge banding to ensure that it is firm, beautiful, and seamless

 

Special installation methods
For substrates with certain special shapes or requirements, special installation methods may be required. For example:
● Curved or irregular substrates: For curved or irregular substrates, flexible metal edge banding and special bonding or fixing methods may be required. During the installation process, the shape and position of the edge banding need to be gradually adjusted to ensure that it fits tightly with the substrate.
● Multi-layer structure substrates: For multi-layer structure substrates (such as composite panels), each layer may need to be edge-sealed. In this case, the edge banding needs to be attached layer by layer, and each layer needs to be firm and reliable.
