Specification Assistant

Product Specifiers help to turn design ideas into viable end products. Whether the goal is a new product line or a one-time construction project, product specifiers aim for procurement guidelines that meet project needs and many regulatory requirements for safety and performance. Doellken 'TOOLS FOR PRODUCT SPECIFIERS' provides helpful product and technical information assisting the designers and architects to find the right Edgebanding and to meet procurement guidelines as well as regulatory requirements for safety and performance.

 

Quality of Edgebanding

Edgebanding is a small detail in the overall list of products that flow into a project. However, the right choice in Edgebanding quality can have a significant impact on the quality of the project including transportation to the construction site, installation and long-term appearance.

The following information assists in the decision making process to specify the right Edgebanding product:

High Traffic Areas

Project Requirement: High traffic areas
Product Requirement: Impact Resistance
Thickness: 1 ??¡§ 3mm
Surface: Smooth or Textured
Polymer: PVC, ABS, 3D
Comment: The thicker the Edgebanding the higher the impact resistance. 3D Edgebanding, printed from the backside offers the highest impact resistance.

Project Requirement: High traffic areas
Product Requirement: Dirt Resistance
Thickness: .018??? ??¡§ 3mm
Surface: Smooth
Polymer: PVC, ABS, 3D
Comment: A smooth texture will help to clean the Edgebanding surface easily. Most of Doellken Edgebandings come with a smooth finish. Please request a sample chain.


Hidden areas

Project Requirement: Hidden areas
Product Requirement: Edge Sealing
Thickness: .018??? - 1mm
Surface: Smooth or Textured
Polymer: PVC, ABS
Comment: Thinner Edgebanding is a cost effective edge treatment that maintains the board integrity and quality.

Visible Areas

Project Requirement: Visible areas
Product Requirement: Visual stimulation
Thickness: 2 ??¡§ 3mm
Surface: Smooth
Polymer: 3D, PVC, ABS
Comment: Thicker Edgebanding can be trimmed with a rounded edge giving the board a higher quality visual appearance. 3D Edgebanding in metallics can even be buffed to the highest gloss level to enhance the value of the board.


Safety Areas

Project Requirement: Safety
Product Requirement: Rounded Edges
Thickness: 1 ??¡§ 3mm
Surface: Smooth or Textured
Polymer: ABS, PVC, 3D
Comment: Doellken PVC and ABS Edgebanding eliminates visible joints and sharp edges. This increases the visible integrity between laminate surface and Edgebanding and reduces possible safety hazards.

Moisture Areas

Project Requirement: Moisture
Product Requirement: Tight bond between Edgebanding and substrate
Thickness: .018" ??¡§ 3mm

Surface: Smooth or Textured
Polymer: ABS, PVC, 3D
Comment: In combination with the right hotmelt, Doellken Edgebandings form a tight bond with the substrate reducing the risk of delamination and swelling of the substrate.
