From woodgrains to matte finishes, see the top edge trends shaping cabinetry this year and beyond.
“At AWFS 2025, it was clear—clean edges, smart sourcing, and panel-matching innovation are shaping the future.” The show wasn’t just about new products—it revealed where the industry is heading. Here’s what we saw.
Natural wood textures in oak, walnut, and teak saw major attention. These aren’t flat prints—today’s woodgrain edge bands mirror the texture, tone, and grain flow of real veneer, helping shops create custom-grade finishes without custom headaches.
Super-matte surfaces in greige, stone, and soft black tones dominated display booths. These finishes offer a sophisticated, modern look that hides fingerprints and fits clean-lined cabinet designs—especially when matched edge-to-edge with subtle grain.
One trend was clear: speed wins. Attendees were actively seeking domestic suppliers with stocked options ready to ship—without sacrificing color accuracy. That’s exactly what CT Edge Band delivers, with thousands of SKUs available from our Chicago facility.
We don’t just follow trends—we anticipate them. With an expansive inventory of today’s most in-demand finishes, plus custom-matching support and fast U.S. delivery, we keep your shop ahead of the curve and on schedule.
