When applying the lining direct on existing cupboard doors. You will need to consider the extra weight on the hinges. Tasmanian Oak hardwood will be 890g per metre of each board. The alternative, Pine softwood will be a little lighter at 860g per metre of each board. Modern hinges are durable, yet the amount weight is dependant width of each door. Typically Contours lining board can be applied directly to the front face. Alternatively, start afresh and construct a cabinet door frame (to mount hinges to), and fix Contours lining board to this. To finish the top edge, you may consider fixing a trim (Rectangular / DAR2012TOSL) to the top edge to finish of the look. The cover width of the board may not fit exactly across the width of the door. Don’t worry, cut the board length-wise (rip) to continue the look across adjoining panels, or centralise the look across the door. Handles can be fix directly to the board (dependant on the Contours profile you choose) or cut a rectangular panel into the face of the boards and insert a rectangular block – to fix the handle to.
