Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
For toilet partitions, lockers and wet-area cladding, go with the 1/2 in. or 3/4 in. compact panel and machine the edges clean with carbide tooling. Use A3 vertical grade for standard casework, and step up to 30PL only where the job specification calls for a fire-rated vertical laminate. Compact panels are heavy at 4 ft. x 8 ft., so plan a two-person lift and support the full sheet on the saw bed.
Compact panels are heavy and create sharp chips when routed; use two people or mechanical assistance to handle full sheets and wear eye, ear and dust protection when machining.
