2cm vs 3cm

Although we specialize in over 30 colors of 3cm (1 ¼”) stocked material, you or your client may need material in 2cm (3/4”) thickness from one of our suppliers. If this is the case, there are a few additional things that need to happen for the job to be completed.
1. Cabinets need to be decked with 5/8” plywood cut flush to the sides of the cabinet boxes. If there is an overhang at an island the decking must be cut to the proper size (and shape) for the template to be accurate.
2. Edge details will be laminated with a ¾” drop to cover decking. If a laminated edge is not suitable, we can do a single-thickness edge. In this case your cabinet installer will need to trim out the edges of the decking with finished wood trim.
3. If using an undermount sink, please leave that area free of decking. Our installers will provide the material to set the undermount sink. If using a topmount sink, install the decking the same as the rest of the cabinet areas. Cutting the plywood deck to the sink cut-out can take place AFTER the countertops have been installed.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns please call the office at 503-230-9617 or your Fine Line Pacific sales associate. We are happy to help!
