Lexan for home use 1/4" vs 1/8"
(1/2) > >>
rampy:
What's the benefit (if we're talking asthetics, mostly -- i.e. not structural integrity) of use 1/4" lexan vs 1/8" lexan on a home control panel (i.e. not public abuse)?

Does it sheen more, or something?  Is it industry standard?

What did you use?

if its on top of like 3/4 inch wood already...

then I would say... use the thinnest lexan....
(my personal opinion....)

I'm not too sure there is a benefit. Unless you consider being able to use it as a stepping stool a benefit. Plus you can shield yourself with it if someone tries to break into your home!  ;)

OH! I just thought of one... Sometimes it's hard to find 5/8" MDF (like down here). T-molding comes in flat for 3/4" and 1" but only in leather for 7/8" (at least through most normal channels.) So if you want your t-molding to be flush you'll want 3/4" MDF with 1/4" lexan and 1" t-molding (if you can't find 5/8" MDF)!

(GO ALAN!!)
