PSA Edge Banded Panels are selected for many reasons; they offer a professional finish to a bonded surface which can complement the over all look, they also offer an additional seal to the flooring between panel.
The following Edge Banded products are available to meet the most common PSA specifications. Other Edge Banded products to meet other PSA specifications can be made to order. Full technical details are available on the Data Sheets, and a summary is listed below;
