As Solid grade laminate is only 12/13mm thick, it is harder to maintain a reliable hinge fixing just by tapping into the material depth alone. Although possible it is not advisable to do so for a cubicle system that is developed primarily for its durability. Amwell always recommend hanging SGL cubicle doors using through-fixed hinges. Attractive lozenge face plates ensure a robust fixing by removing any direct stress on the SGL. This promotes the longevity of the cubicle system. The use of hinges that fix into the thickness of the material from the edge inward are also not advised in conjunction with 12/13mm solid grade laminate. Fixing from this direction reduces the thickness of the material around the hinge screws. With very little material left either side, these areas are a potential weak point where the door face is liable to break out under stress and the hinge to fail (a replacement door would then be required) Close window
