Material Thickness

In this section you specify the thickness of the cabinet parts.

Cabinet Parts You Can Specify the Thickness For:

  • Face Frame (Edging in Euro): Enter the finished thickness of the frame that you will attach to the box.

BOX PART THICKNESS

  • Tops: Enter the thickness of the exterior horizontal box parts. These include the tops of both the base and upper cabinets.
  • Bottoms: Enter the thickness of the exterior horizontal box parts. These include the bottoms of both the base and upper cabinets.
  • Fillers: Enter the thickness of your fillers. The filler thickness will be used for all fillers in the job including fillers in Extended End cabinets.
  • Finished Ends: Enter the thickness of your finished end. If you will be using a Plant-On Finished End (also called an applied end), there will be instructions on how to do that in Edit Elevations in the Modifying End section. The finished end thickness will be used for all finished ends that are not Plant-ons.
  • Unfinished Ends: Enter the thickness of the unfinished ends. Unfinished ends are the end pieces that separate one cabinet from another.
  • Tray Dividers: Enter the thickness off the tray dividers. Tray dividers are defined as any internal partition that does not sit behind a face frame piece or in Euro it is an internal cabinet divider that doesn't affect the cabinets door openings.
  • Wood Shelves ("Horizontal Partitions + Shelves" in Euro): Enter the thickness of the interior horizontal box parts (shelves). This allows you to use a different thickness for parts that are not as structurally critical.
  • Glass Shelves: Enter the thickness of the interior horizontal box parts (shelves) that you have marked to be glass. This allows you to use a different thickness for glass shelves different from wood shelves. To mark a shelf as being glass, see Adjust Shelves.
  • Corner Center Backs (in Euro only): Enter the thickness of the center backs in Angle Corner cabinets. The center back is the back panel that is between the Corner (Left) Back Panel and the Back (Right) Panel. This panel is only used in European construction.
  • Partitions (Vertical Partitions in Euro): Enter the thickness of the partitions. Partitions are panels that vertically divide individual cabinets but sit behind a face frame piece (mullion or mullion stile or center stile). They are a key part in making custom face frame cabinets and will be discussed at length in Chapter 8.
  • Backs: Enter the thickness of your back material. If you are not using backs in this particular job you can leave them out in the standards for backs. You may still leave your standard back thickness.
