Seems like some companies have 1mm edging and some have 2mm edging on their melamne / laminate doors.
Does it make much difference in quality or looks? Should it influence which company I decide to use?
ThanksReply

The supplier we went with only offered a 1mm PVC edge strip with the gloss white we chose, however, all the other colours came with a 2mm PVC edge strip. At the end of the day, I suppose a 2mm edge would be more durable; but really, it's just the edge of the door and unless you plan to be using your Kitchen cupboards like some sort of an amusement park, there shouldn't be any problem hehehe
Also, I haven't noticed any issues with the edge strip and moister - that is, the doors beneath the sink do get wet sometimes if I'm splashing about with the dishes... but thus far everything stood up to the test!.
Good luck!!Reply

the in look today is the square form ,this explains the prevelance of materials with a sharp finish to edges , the 2mm is ABS and usually has a slight round to the edge and more likely to not show abuse ,the 1mm is PVC and usually has a sharper edge and will take a bit of abuse ,they are both held on by the same glue ,so it all depends on the look you are trying to achieve as to what thickness you need

For more 1mm PVC edge bandinginformation, please contact us. We will provide professional answers.
We do commercial millwork in Canada. Wondering if most people use plam for edgebanding on their plastic laminate doors? or if they use PVC (either 3mm, 2mm 1mm etc)
Also what do you do if you cant find a match or the thickness you need?
We currently use mostly laminate on the edges and its so time consuming. Wondering if architects allow you to use PVC and if anyone has figured out how to get around matching problems, or thickness availability.
Thanks
85% of the time pvc on commercial jobs if no match is available then laminate. If the customer specs 1,2 or 3mm hopefully you have done there home work and if it not available you rfi it before the bid and get clarification. It only sucks if you didn't account for the labor when you bid a job.
Similar to Tracy, we use PVC when ever we can. 3mm does not clean up as easy as .18 PVC and laminate can chip.
If we do use laminate, we lay up a panel with the backer laminate, white etc, cut the sizes, edge our doors and drawer fronts and then glue the laminate on the face to avoid the dark line. Then we have to hand route and clean up the laminate.
Obviously, we try to avoid laminate edges. Laminate edges can chip as well.
I'm with Larry, but we use a tom of .018 due to peoples budgets Once you get a good bander, I am sure you will wonder how in the hell you stayed with laminate stripping and edging
I once paid a upcharge for custom pvc banding and for a .00 job It was worth every penny to allow the time it would have took to strip and prime the plam then apply it. We have applied p-lam by machine, but the stopping and reloading is not fast by any means compared to the 300 ft or 600 ft rolls of banding
