CREATE CUSTOM PANEL
Custom Panel for a One-piece
Accessory Grille
NOTE: If you want to use the acrylic panel and filler provided,
skip this section.
To create a custom panel for a one-piece accessory grille, follow
these steps:
1. Match panel wood grain direction with that of adjacent
cabinets.
2. Cut the custom panel according to the dimensions shown.
NOTE: A
¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) thickness can be used for wood
panels. If you wish to use thicker material, the edges must be
routed to
¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm).
3. Use a moisture-resistant sealer on the sides and edges of the
panels to protect them from humidity.
4. See “Assemble Accessory Grille.”
Custom Panel for Overlay Accessory Grille
It is common to work with three panels: a decorative overlay
panel, a
¹⁄₈" (3.18 mm) spacer panel or spacer strips, and a ¹⁄₄"
(6.35 mm) backer panel. In some cases, your cabinet
manufacturer may choose to work with one panel routed for the
different dimensions. Follow these panel dimensions and
placement instructions to ensure that the custom overlay panel
fits properly.
NOTE: Panel weight should not exceed 20 lbs (9 kg). To minimize
panel weight, you may use 2" (5.08 mm) spacer strips around the
perimeter instead of full-sheet solid spacer panels. The spacer
strips must be set in at least 1" (2.54 cm) from the edge of the
backer panel.
To create custom panels for an overlay accessory grille, follow
these steps:
1. Cut and assemble the overlay and backer panels to the
dimensions shown.
NOTE: A ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) backer panel is shown as a dotted
line.
2. Use moisture-resistant sealer on the sides and edges of the
panels to protect them from humidity.
3. See “Assemble Accessory Grille.”
