He has shared 2 photos one with the 19mm and another with 16mm ply. For the 19mm plywood he is mentioning thick black color line will be visible between ply and laminates. Could some one please guide me How to avoid such problem if we use 19mm

I am not sure what is so difficult about it. It is evident here that he is using an inappropriate width tape for edge banding. He must use a wider tape (atleast 25mm) for 19mm ply as suggested in earlier response.

His tape is just enough to cover 16mm ply and not 19mm.

For example he is using the width of the white tape and he should be using the width of the left most one.. Saving few bucks..

If it is still not clear, you may call us on the number given in our profile.

Hi,

The carcass of wardrobes must always be made in 19 mm plywood. The shutters must be made of 25 mm block board using a lower thickness will lead to bending of shutters or carcass.

Hello there,

So much of discussion for the thickness of plywood?

It always comes down to load bearing and shear strength (MOE and MOR) which is ensured in thicker plywoods. Hence, 19mm is apt for wardrobes.

Second, doors should be of 25mm bloackboard / 19mm plywood but edge banding must overlap between laminates to prevent peeling/warping. Hence edge banding must be >=25 mm.

The carpenter's choice for going slim and saving will result in you being penny wise and pound foolish.

19 mm and 25 mm is inclusive of laminates or without ?
