Frameless Cabinet Construction - How thick?

dimanche 21 décembre 2014

Hi,



I'm about to jump into constructing some frameless (aka Euro style) cabinets for my Airstream. Typically 3/4" plywood is used in frameless construction. By my estimates, my total plywood weight for all cabinetry would be about 250lbs. Plus I would need some 1x4s to frame in the toe kick area. So let's say 300lbs total for all cabinets in the Airstream. If possible, I could use 5/8" or 1/2" instead. I'm just not sure how sturdy it would be and if it would support the countertop well. 1/2" plywood would cut my weight in plywood to about ~175lbs for a total estimated weight of 225lbs.



Is 75lbs worth going to 1/2" instead of 3/4"? Considering these are frameless style, will sturdiness be impacted significantly? I welcome your thoughts.
