Why is there an extra charge for visible end panels in whole-house customization?

The extra charge for visible end panels is essentially because they are also panels at the door panel level, not cabinet body boards used as a makeshift solution. Exposed side surfaces need to match the door panel in color and texture. Whether you choose PET, baked paint, or real wood veneer, the cost difference is quite noticeable, so it is usually listed separately in the quote. To spend less on this, you can confirm with the designer in advance which side surfaces will actually be exposed; areas against the wall or recessed into cabinets do not need it. For door panels, we offer double-sided melamine, PET, vacuum-formed, baked paint, and real wood veneer. Edge banding includes PUR edge banding and laser edge banding. During measurement, we also confirm wall flatness and internal and external corners; only after the finishing method is decided can this panel be calculated. The specific extra amount is calculated based on material and area. For the preliminary budget, you can first estimate by wardrobe tier: basic configuration Beijing 500–550 yuan/㎡, Baoding, Langfang, Xiong'an and Zhuozhou 425–467.5 yuan/㎡; mainstream configuration Beijing 700–800 yuan/㎡, Baoding, Langfang, Xiong'an and Zhuozhou 595–680 yuan/㎡; upgraded configuration Beijing 950–1,100 yuan/㎡, Baoding, Langfang, Xiong'an and Zhuozhou 807.5–935 yuan/㎡. The above are reference prices and do not constitute a formal quote.
