Nobilia Cover Panels - 10 mm Thickness

A cover panel in 10 mm thickness is a horizontal component that forms the upper finish of tall cabinets, highboards, and sideboards. It sits on the top edges of the cabinets and closes off a run that would otherwise be open without this panel, because highboards and sideboards are often supplied from the factory without a fixed top panel. Unlike a worktop, it does not bear loads from a cooktop or sink. Unlike a front trim panel, it sits horizontally, not vertically.

Cover panels in this thickness are the slimmest variant in the range and lie like a fine material edge over the cabinet run, giving the upper line a visually light finish. Available lengths range from 25 cm to 258 cm per continuous piece, coated on both sides with a polymer edge on the front and side edge. For dishwasher conversion units, fixed widths from 45.3 to 62 cm are available; highboard widths go up to 240 cm. A cutout for a ventilation grille is not permitted in this thickness because the material is too thin for the supporting function of the grille support.

The fixed-dimension cover panel finishes the top side of a dishwasher conversion unit, highboard, or tall cabinet in a 45 cm or 60 cm carcass width. The fixed width matches the standard carcass exactly, while you can choose the depth variably between 58.5 and 60 cm to match the carcass depth of your furniture. The panel is coated on both sides and has a polymer edge in carcass color at the front and sides, known in technical terms as a PP edge.

To match your installation situation, choose:

• ADBM1047 in 47 cm width for the dishwasher conversion unit with 45 cm carcass width

• ADBM1060 in 60 cm width for a highboard or tall cabinet with 60 cm carcass width

• ADBM1062 in 62 cm width for the dishwasher conversion units with 60 cm carcass width

Dimensions

• Width: 47 cm ▪ 60 cm ▪ 62 cm

• Depth: Variable from 58.5 cm to 60 cm

• Thickness: 1 cm

In four fixed widths from 92.4 to 182.4 cm, the lacquer cover panel provides a color-matched top finish for sideboards, highboards, and tall cabinets. The depth, on the other hand, is selected to the exact centimeter between 25 and 60 cm, because the rear edge faces the wall and does not need a lacquered visible edge. This allows the panel to fit both a shallow and a deep carcass, as long as its width matches one of the four values.

Dimensions:

• Widths: 92.4 cm ▪ 122.4 cm ▪ 152.4 cm ▪ 182.4 cm

• Depths: Variable from 25 cm to 60 cm

• Thickness: 1 cm

At 62.4 cm width, the ADBML1062 lacquer cover panel finishes tall cabinets and highboards. The depth ranges between 58.5 and 60.0 cm because a tall cabinet stands deeper than a wall cabinet and the panel covers the carcass across its full depth. In width, ADBML1062 overlaps with the shallow cover panel for wall cabinets—both measure 62.4 cm—but the depth distinguishes them. A shallow carcass with a depth of 37.4 cm requires the wall cabinet cover panel; a tall cabinet or highboard with full depth requires the ADBML1062.

Dimensions

• Width: 62.4 cm

• Depth: Variable from 58.5 cm to 60 cm

• Thickness: 1 cm

The depth of your cover panel is based on the carcass depth of your cabinet plus a 2.4 cm allowance. This addition gives the panel a flush finishing edge at the front and closes it off against the wall at the back. This means a sideboard with a carcass depth of 35 cm results in the standard delivery depth of 37.4 cm, and a highboard with a carcass depth of 56.1 cm results in a depth of 58.5 cm. In real wood veneer, there is also 48.5 cm for freestanding furniture with a carcass depth of 46.1 cm.

The width follows the carcass width plus the allowance for the side end panels. A highboard with a carcass width of 90 cm results in a cover panel width of 92.4 cm, because the addition covers the transition to the end panels on the left and right of the outer carcass edge. The coated standard variant is available in lengths from 25 to 258 cm, so one continuous panel can cover several carcass widths in a cabinet run in a single piece.

A corner joint using tongue and groove is not available in 10 mm thickness because the material thickness of the panel is too small for routing the joint. For a continuous corner layout, choose the cover panel in 16 mm or 25 mm thickness. A wall cabinet underside with recessed LED spots is also not possible in 10 mm thickness because the routing depth for the LED modules structurally starts only from 16 mm. For an illuminated underside, the solution is the 16 mm thick cover panel.

As soon as you know the carcass depth and carcass width of your cabinet, add the allowance and enter both values in the filter above. Depth and width narrow the range in two steps to the panels that fit your installation situation.

Nobilia delivers around half of its kitchens to customers in Germany, with another roughly 30 percent going to neighboring European countries. Behind this reach is a manufacturer that trains its skilled workers in-house. More than 120 young people learn a profession at Nobilia, including in dual-study wood technology programs. In this way, knowledge of the material wood, from which your cover panel is also made, grows within the company itself.

The core panel of your cover panel is made of wood, and at Nobilia the origin of this wood is documented. Nobilia is certified according to the PEFC standard, which confirms that a new tree is replanted for every tree felled. The chipboard itself consists of up to 70 percent recycled wood, because its middle layer is made almost entirely from reclaimed wood. Added to this is the short supply chain: around 80 percent of Nobilia’s suppliers are based in Germany, about half within a 50-kilometer radius of the company headquarters in Verl. Our page on Nobilia sustainability describes which steps are involved from the forest to the finished component.
