How to Edge Band a Tile Cabinet11

Edge banding is an important part of finishing a tile cabinet. It not only provides a finished look, but it also helps to protect the edges of the cabinet from damage. There are a few different ways to edge band a tile cabinet, but the most common method is to use a pre-glued edge banding strip.

To edge band a tile cabinet using a pre-glued edge banding strip, you will need the following tools and materials:
Pre-glued edge banding strip
Utility knife
Straight edge
Iron or heat gun
Trim bit
Router

Once you have gathered your tools and materials, you can follow these steps to edge band your tile cabinet:1. Measure and cut the edge banding strip. The edge banding strip should be long enough to wrap around the entire edge of the cabinet. To measure the length of the strip, add the length of all four sides of the cabinet together. Then, cut the strip to the desired length using a utility knife.
2. Apply the edge banding strip to the cabinet. Once the strip is cut, peel off the backing paper and apply the strip to the edge of the cabinet. Use a straight edge to help you align the strip evenly.
3. Heat the edge banding strip. Once the strip is applied, use an iron or heat gun to heat the strip. This will help to activate the glue and bond the strip to the cabinet.
4. Trim the excess edge banding strip. Once the strip is heated, use a trim bit to trim off any excess material. Be sure to use a sharp bit and make sure that the cut is clean.
5. Sand the edge banding strip. Once the excess material is trimmed off, sand the edge banding strip to smooth it out. Use a fine-grit sandpaper and sand in the direction of the grain.

Once you have finished sanding, your tile cabinet will be edge banded and protected. Edge banding is a relatively simple process that can be completed in a few hours. By following these steps, you can edge band your tile cabinet like a professional.
