Standard Tall Finished End Vs Wide Style for Refrigerator Enclosure
Love the fact you have a forum.
I was just about to purchase but was contemplating going with the thicker finished end panel for the fridge enclosure, at least on the left side. See the attached image. The panel on the left of the fridge enclosure is at the end of the cabinet run and you have a doorway on the other side of the panel, so people will be walking back and fourth on that side, not a huge amount of traffic, goes into a den, but it’s a doorway. I don’t know how sturdy that panel is going to be hanging from that wall cabinet above the fridge enclosure. Would upgrading to a thicker panel, say 2 inches, just provide aesthetic benefits, or do you think it would make it a little more sturdy, people potentially bumping into it, etc. Perhaps on the install we should put some kind of bracket at the bottom. Thanks! -Alex

Yeah, it’s really all about the look. The panel should ideally be secured with cleats to the floor and back wall for stability. For the Modern line, we offer either a 3/4″ thick end panel or a wide stile end panel. Either option will work fine, but most people typically prefer the minimal, thinner end panel secured to the floor and back wall.

Wonder if the both sides/faces of finished end panels are painted white ? Assume the order is requested to have white paint.
Thank you -
We finish both sides of all the end panels, base, wall, and tall.
