Cabinet Edge Banding Usage Guide: How Much Do You Need?224

As a leading manufacturer of cabinet edge banding in China, we often get asked about the amount of edge banding needed for a specific project. While there is no one-size-fits-all answer, we can provide some general guidelines to help you estimate how much edge banding you will need.

First, you need to determine the total length of the edges that you will be banding. This includes the edges of all the cabinet doors, drawers, and shelves. Once you have calculated the total length, you can add 10% to 15% for waste and overlap. This will give you the total amount of edge banding that you will need.

For example, if you have a cabinet with a total edge length of 100 feet, you would need to purchase 110 to 115 feet of edge banding. This will give you enough edge banding to cover all of the edges, plus some extra for waste and overlap.

In addition to the total length of the edges, you also need to consider the thickness of the edge banding. Edge banding is typically available in thicknesses of 0.5mm, 1mm, and 2mm. The thicker the edge banding, the more durable it will be. However, thicker edge banding is also more difficult to apply. For most residential applications, 1mm edge banding is a good choice.

Once you have determined the total length and thickness of the edge banding that you need, you can order it from a supplier. Edge banding is typically sold in rolls of 100 feet or more. When ordering edge banding, be sure to add a few extra feet to your order to account for waste and overlap.

Here are some additional tips for estimating the amount of edge banding that you need:
If you are banding the edges of a cabinet door, you will need to add the length of the top, bottom, and both sides of the door.
If you are banding the edges of a drawer, you will need to add the length of the front, back, and both sides of the drawer.
If you are banding the edges of a shelf, you will need to add the length of the front, back, and both sides of the shelf.
If you are banding the edges of a curved surface, you will need to use more edge banding than if you were banding the edges of a straight surface.
