Between thin-gauge and heavy-duty PVC sits 1mm — the gauge most standard cabinet production settles on for a balance of durability and cost. It's our single largest edgebanding gauge in stock, across Teknaform, Doelken, and McFadden's Preferred finishes.
From plywood and fasteners to finishing supplies and shipping materials, we stock a full range of cabinetry essentials. One supplier, one delivery – less time sourcing, more time building.
With decades of experience, we understand what it takes to keep shops running smoothly, and we back that up with expert support and consistent supply.
We don't just carry product, we know how it's used. Our team speaks your language, with deep knowledge across cabinetry, millwork, and finishing applications.
With thousands of materials, hardware lines, and custom-order options in stock, not everything fits neatly on a single category page. If you're looking for a specific item – like a certain drawer slide, hinge system, or finish option – just let us know.
Our team works closely with cabinetry professionals every day, and we're happy to help you track down the right solution fast. Whether it's in stock, special order, or part of a bundled system, we'll make sure you get what you need, without the runaround.
The Gauge Most Shops Already Run
If your program doesn't have a specific reason to run thin- or heavy-gauge PVC, 1mm is the default most cabinet shops land on — and it's where we carry the broadest selection across brands and finishes.
1mm PVC holds up to normal daily handling without the added cost of heavier 2mm or 3mm stock, which is why it's the gauge most general cabinet production settles on.
Explore the CollectionOur 1mm inventory spans all three of our PVC lines, from Teknaform and Doelken's standard colour libraries to McFadden's Preferred's high-gloss and super-matte options.

Common questions on our 1mm gauge stock.
For most general cabinet programs without a specific durability or trim-depth requirement, 1mm is the most commonly used gauge — it's also our deepest stock by finish count.
1mm sits close to 0.020" in thickness but is the metric standard most European-style hardware and panel lines are built around, which is why it's stocked so broadly.
We stock 1mm PVC from Teknaform, Doelken, and McFadden's Preferred, covering the widest range of finishes in our catalog at this gauge.
1mm PVC in our catalog spans from 7/8" up to 1-5/16", matching the most common panel thicknesses.
Yes — 1mm is a widely supported gauge on standard hot-melt edgebanding equipment, with no special setup required beyond confirming your trim head is calibrated for it.
