CHECK 01
Keep formulas tied to the selected thickness
Specify material, thickness, finish, grain and edge treatment together. Substituting one property can affect machining, hardware, weight and final dimensions.
Direct answer
Cabinet melamine thickness should be selected as part of the construction standard, commonly around 16 or 18 mm in many European workflows, with spans and hardware checked separately.
Expert view
The real decision behind this search
Thickness is part of a construction system and affects spans, joints, hardware, weight and part calculations.
Workshop reality
Changing from 16 mm to 18 mm without updating internal dimensions can misalign drawers, shelves and fronts. Treat thickness as a controlled project parameter.
Useful output
One board-thickness standard with exceptions documented for long spans or hardware requirements.

Decision sequence for this specific task
Each check below is tied to the subject of this page. Record the input, the decision and the evidence used to approve it.
CHECK 02
Check shelf spans and loads
Turn this point into a recorded decision: define the input, review it against the real project and keep the evidence that allows another person to verify the result.
CHECK 03
Match hinge and connector drilling
Use the exact manufacturer family and its technical table. Count rules are a planning baseline; drilling, load and clearance data control the released result.
CHECK 04
Use the supplier's actual finished board thickness
Specify material, thickness, finish, grain and edge treatment together. Substituting one property can affect machining, hardware, weight and final dimensions.
Release boundary
Nominal thickness can differ slightly from measured board thickness and affects fit.

Product truth
Where DesignPro fits — and where verification remains essential
DesignPro supports planning and organised project information according to the selected package. Final material, hardware, production, fixing and site decisions remain subject to project-specific verification.
Use the DesignPro project as a common reference for the people who measure, price, supply, cut, assemble or install the work. Keep the final approved inputs with the released output.
