Edge Banding & Lipping

Edge finishing is a crucial factor in door quality and longevity. Doors can be protected with either matching PVC edge banding or solid natural wood lipping, safeguarding exposed edges while enhancing durability. Proper edge finishing ensures a seamless visual transition between the door face and its edges, improves resistance to impacts and moisture, and maintains a refined, premium appearance.

1. Natural Veneer Strip

Natural veneer strips are thin slices of real wood applied over engineered wood substrates to enhance the surface with an authentic wood appearance. They showcase the natural grain patterns and elegance of the wood, allowing for sanding, painting, or polishing to achieve the desired finish. Ideal for doors, furniture, and decorative interior surfaces, they combine aesthetics with durability and long-term color stability.

2. PVC Edge Banding

The edges of the door leaf, frame, and architrave are sealed with PVC edge bands using high-performance industrial adhesives. This ensures strong bonding, complete edge protection against impacts and scratches, and enhances the overall durability of the door. PVC edge bands are applied in the same approved melamine color code as the door leaf, frame, and architrave, providing uniform color, a consistent appearance, and a high-quality professional finish.

3. Lipping (Natural Wood Edge Strips)

Lipping consists of solid natural wood strips, typically made from Oak or Beech, applied to cover and protect the edges of doors and panels. It provides structural strength, high impact resistance, and a premium, refined appearance. This method complements both laminated and veneered surfaces, offering a smooth, natural finish that withstands heavy daily use.
