The Modular Kitchen Challenge:

Our designer wants to use 2 mm ABS edge banding on shutters but only 0.8 mm on cabinet boxes. Is there a technical reason for using different thicknesses?

[ChefDeCabinet_Expert]: Yes. Shutters are exposed to repeated impact and handling, making thicker ABS edge banding more resistant to chipping and wear. Internal cabinet components experience less abuse, so thinner edge banding is often sufficient while reducing manufacturing costs.
