Master the art of color and texture matching to create seamless edges for laminate and veneer panels.
Tired of edges that are close, but not quite right? Let’s break down how to match your edge banding to laminate panels with precision that sells itself.
Matching edgebanding to your laminate or veneer panel isn’t just a visual detail—it’s a mark of craftsmanship. With thousands of surface finishes, textures, and colors in the market, the edge band has to do more than "blend in." At CT Edge Band, we start with panel brand matching: whether you’re using TFL from Arauco, Wilsonart HPL, or textured veneer panels, we source or produce edge bands specifically aligned with those palettes. This ensures the finish flows seamlessly across every surface.
Texture and gloss level matter just as much as color. A mismatch in texture between a panel and the edge band—say, matte on gloss—can ruin the visual continuity and look unprofessional. We recommend always requesting samples under your lighting conditions before committing to a production run. We also provide gloss meter and texture-matching services to help reduce costly trial-and-error in your shop. In high-end residential or commercial installs, those small details make a big difference in client perception.
Beyond aesthetics, accurate edge matching saves time in assembly and reduces rework. Many cabinet factories waste hours trying to sort through generic, poorly labeled coils that "almost" match. Our stocked inventory is clearly labeled by panel code and tone family, so your team can grab and go. We also offer custom color-matching services for less common or imported panels, helping you stay on schedule no matter the spec.
