As a leading manufacturer of furniture edging strips in China, we have witnessed countless wardrobe installations and understand the importance of proper edging techniques. In this comprehensive guide, we will provide you with a step-by-step explanation of how to install edging strips on your wardrobe, ensuring a seamless and professional finish.

Gather the Necessary Materials

Before you begin, gather the following materials:
Edging strips (of appropriate size and color for your wardrobe)
Measuring tape
Utility knife or scissors
Contact adhesive (specifically designed for furniture edging)
>Clean cloth or sponge
>Rubber mallet or rolling pin (optional)

Prepare the Wardrobe Surface

Thoroughly clean the surface of your wardrobe where the edging will be installed. Remove any dust, dirt, or adhesive residue to ensure a strong bond between the edging strip and the wardrobe.

Measure and Cut the Edging Strips

Use a measuring tape to determine the exact length of edging strips needed for each edge of your wardrobe. Mark the measurements on the strips and use a utility knife or scissors to cut them to the desired lengths.

Apply the Contact Adhesive

Apply a thin, even layer of contact adhesive to the back of the edging strip. Allow the adhesive to set for a few minutes, according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Position the Edging Strips

Carefully position the edging strips on the edges of your wardrobe, aligning them with the marked measurements. Use a rubber mallet or rolling pin to gently tap or roll the strips into place, ensuring they are firmly adhered.

Trim Any Excess Edging

Once the edging strips are in place, use a utility knife or scissors to trim any excess material that extends beyond the edges of your wardrobe.

Clean and Inspect

Use a clean cloth or sponge to wipe away any excess adhesive or debris. Inspect the installed edging strips to ensure they are securely attached and create a seamless finish.

Additional Tips

- For a more durable bond, consider using a contact adhesive specifically designed for PVC or melamine surfaces.

- If your wardrobe has curved edges, you can use a heat gun or hair dryer to soften the edging strips and mold them to the desired shape.

- Allow ample time for the adhesive to dry and set before using your wardrobe to ensure a secure installation.

Conclusion

Installing edging strips on your wardrobe is a relatively simple task that can greatly enhance its appearance and protect it from wear and tear. By following these steps carefully, you can achieve a professional-looking finish that will add value and longevity to your furniture.
