Upper and lower panel minimum thickness is 5/8" (16 mm). Panel
thickness above 11/16" (18 mm) can be accommodated but
product depth will increase accordingly.
Custom front panel material must be suitable for damp
conditions or adequately sealed to withstand moisture. Using a
moisture-resistant material can provide additional protection.
Taping edges alone may not provide adequate sealing. For
painted panel, paint all rear edges to improve sealing.
