Bringing natural materials into interiors is always a great way to add warmth, comfort, quality and textural interest. With its range of shades, fine texture and straight grain, cherry wood is a favourite for designers and makes a statement whether used for worktops, cabinets, doors or furniture.
It’s a hardwood that comes, of course, from the cherry tree. Its prized for its durability and rich tones. It’s flexibility and beautiful colour also make it a popular choice for panelling and caskets.
While we might love the look of real cherry wood, it’s not an ideal choice for all. Solid wood is expensive, heavy and hard to maintain. For those with busy lives, a cherry wood effect board and edging can be a great way of achieving the same look, without the excessive cost or maintenance.
The convenience of wipe clean, hygienic, lightweight melamine or laminate boards is hard to beat. And these days, the technology is there to produce bonded boards in finishes almost indistinguishable from real wood.
Whether you add your cherry wood in subtle accents or wall-to-wall, the (red!) devil is in the detail. You don’t want your fabulous new cherry wood effect cabinet doors finished with the wrong edging, or that new corporate washroom looking anything but slick and professional.
Whatever your project, we have the perfect cherry wood edge banding tape for you…

Cherry Real Wood Veneer Thru & Thru Edging
Veneer is a great middle ground if you don’t want the expense and weight of solid wood but want to create that beautiful ambience that comes from real timber. What’s more, veneer is far more stable than real wood. Because it is made of thin layers of wood adhered together, the chances of warping, splitting or cracking are greatly reduced. Veneer edging also adds an extra layer of strength to your finished furniture. Use this cherry veneer edging with any cherry veneer or cherry thru & thru material.

If you prefer your edge banding pre glued, and you’re working with real wood veneer, this cherry edging is the one to go for.

Use this with any pre-glued cherry veneer or pre-glued cherry thru & thru material.
