Direct Factory Light Grey Bathroom Cabinet

Overview

This cabinet is produced as a monolithic unit from 18 mm thick moisture‑resistant particleboard core, overlaid with a melamine laminate that delivers a uniform light‑grey surface (RAL 9002). All panel edges are protected by 0.5 mm PVC edge banding bonded with hot‑melt adhesive to block moisture penetration.

Material & Finish

The core conforms to EN 312‑2 for swelling resistance, with thickness tolerance held to ±0.3 mm across each board. The melamine face achieves a Taber abrasion rating of 150 cycles (CS‑10 wheel, 500 g load). Edge banding exhibits a peel strength of ≥1.8 N/mm after 24 h conditioning at 23 °C/50 % RH.

Construction Details

Panel assembly utilizes concealed cam locks and 8 mm dowel pins, providing a shear capacity of 1.2 kN per joint under static load. Reinforcing brackets of 1.2 mm cold‑rolled steel are spot‑welded to the interior carcass at each corner, adding 15 % to racking resistance. All fasteners are zinc‑plated to withstand 500 h salt‑spray exposure per ASTM B117.

Dimensional Specifications

Installation & Compatibility

Mounting brackets are pre‑drilled for 4 mm wood screws, allowing secure attachment to studs or solid backing panels at 300 mm centres. The cabinet accommodates standard ½‑inch NPT supply lines and 20 mm diameter waste outlets without modification. Clearance of 20 mm behind the unit is recommended for ventilation and service access.

Quality Assurance

Each unit undergoes a three‑stage inspection: visual check for surface defects, dimensional verification using calibrated calipers, and functional test of door alignment and hardware operation. Acceptance criteria limit surface gloss variation to ≤5 GU and door swing torque to 0.4–0.6 Nm. Units failing any test are reworked or scrapped before packaging.

Customization Options

Panel thickness can be increased to 22 mm for higher load applications, with corresponding adjustments to cam lock size. Alternative finishes include matte white melamine (RAL 9010) or textured grey laminate, each meeting the same abrasion and moisture standards. Interior fittings such as adjustable glass shelves or stainless‑steel towel bars are available upon request.

Applications

Engineers specify this cabinet in commercial restrooms where consistent colour matching across multiple fixtures simplifies maintenance scheduling. The sealed edges and moisture‑resistant core reduce the risk of swelling in high‑humidity environments, extending service life beyond five years under typical cleaning cycles.

FAQ

Can dimensions be customized? Yes, height, width and depth can be altered in 10 mm increments; new tooling quotes are provided after receiving the final drawing.

What information is required before quotation? A sketch or CAD file showing overall dimensions, desired finish, and any hardware preferences is sufficient to generate a detailed cost estimate.

What materials are available? Standard core is moisture‑resistant particleboard; optional upgrades to marine‑grade plywood or HDF are offered for projects requiring higher impact resistance.

How is quality inspected? Every batch receives visual, dimensional, and functional checks as described in the Quality Assurance section; inspection reports are available on request.

What packaging methods are available? Units are packed in single‑wall corrugated cartons with corner protectors and placed on pallets; custom crating for overseas shipments can be arranged.
