| Lexan for home use 1/4" vs 1/8" |
| (1/2) > >> |

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? Rampy |

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!!) |
