When it comes to edgebanding, the saying “you get what you pay for” couldn’t be truer. While budget-friendly options may seem appealing, sacrificing performance, durability, and aesthetics could cost you more in the long run. Let’s take a closer look at the key differences between high quality edgebanding and cheaper alternatives and why choosing the right product is crucial for your next project.

EASE OF APPLICATION
One of the biggest challenges with cheap edgebanding is the difficulty of application. Lower-cost products often lack the advanced features like primers that make placement easy and efficient, resulting in application issues such as peeling or uneven finishes. Teknaform’s high-quality edgebanding is designed for effortless application, creating a seamless bond that is designed for longevity.
PERFECT MATCHES & QUALITY CONTROL
At Teknaform™, guaranteeing a perfect match between edgebanding and laminates is at the core of our business. Unlike cheaper alternatives, we invest heavily in developing high-quality edgebanding solutions so that surfaces blend seamlessly. We work closely with leading laminate manufacturers so that our edgebanding meet the highest standards with approved matches developed well ahead of new laminate releases. Our team is constantly improving the matching process by investing in cutting-edge technology, advanced color-matching techniques, and following rigorous testing protocols. This dedication ensures we maintain consistency across multiple production runs.
DURABILITY
Investing in high-quality edgebanding means investing in durability and long-term performance. Cheap edgebanding tends to wear out quickly, leading to fading, cracking, and mismatched surfaces. To ensure long-lasting aesthetics, our edgebanding is treated with a specialized UV coating that prevents fading and mismatching over time. We are constantly improving our materials and processes with products built to withstand daily wear and tear, as well as resistance to environmental factors such as sunlight exposure, ensuring that our product continue to look great for years to come.
While opting for cheap edgebanding may seem like a cost-effective solution initially, it often leads to higher expenses in the long run due to repairs and compromised quality. Given that edgebanding material is on average only 1% of the total cost of your project, skimping on this integral component isn’t worth the risk. Investing in high-quality edgebanding from Teknaform™ guarantees ease of application, durability, and a perfect match every time.
