Drawer Side Materials 1/2" Thick, Vinyl Durawrap 2-3/4" x 8' White

Genesis Drawer Side Blanks For Consistent Drawers

Genesis drawer side blanks use 1/2 inch thick Vinyl Durawrap material, which provides a uniform, non-flammable surface that supports consistent appearance across a run of drawers. The Vinyl Durawrap layer is 8 mil thick, so the face has a defined, repeatable thickness that helps keep joinery and clearances predictable on both production jobs and one-off builds. Each blank is 2-3/4 inches high and 96 inches long, which suits low-profile drawer boxes and allows multiple sides to be cut from a single length for efficient layout. The blanks are classified as drawer side materials, so they are designed specifically for building drawer boxes rather than general casework parts. The material is supplied in white, which matches common light cabinet interiors and supports a clean, neutral drawer look in kitchens, baths, or shop fixtures.

Key Drawer Side Details That Support Workflow

• The core is made of high density particle board, which provides greater screw holding strength so fasteners bite securely during assembly and remain stable in service.
• Vinyl Durawrap material is non-flammable, which supports use in typical cabinet environments where fire performance of components is an important part of project specifications.
• All wood blanks receive an Endura ultraviolet cured top coat, creating a pre-finished surface that eliminates separate finishing steps and keeps production lines focused on cutting and assembly.
• Blank lengths are 8 feet, giving enough run to cut multiple drawer sides from one piece, which reduces handling and offcut waste on repetitive cabinet jobs.
• Drawer side heights from this line range from 2-3/4 inches through 10 inches, allowing the same system to be used across shallow and deeper drawers in a project.
• Blanks have a square edge profile, so they present a simple interface for joinery options that rely on clean, straight edges along the length.

Drawer Side Construction Details For Installation Fit

Each 2-3/4 inch x 96 inch drawer side blank is built with a 1/2 inch overall thickness, so it aligns with common drawer hardware and layout dimensions that assume a half-inch side. A 1/4 inch drawer bottom dado is machined into the blanks, which establishes a consistent groove for fitting 1/4 inch bottoms and keeps the panel location predictable from side to side. The design also provides a 9/16 inch, or 14 mm, bottom reveal, so the relationship between the drawer side and bottom panel is already defined and does not require layout on every box. The square edge profile supports straightforward cuts and joints, letting installers cut components to length knowing the edge geometry does not change along the piece.

Using Vinyl Durawrap Drawer Sides In Real Projects

Where These 2-3/4 x 8 Ft Sides Are Applied

The 2-3/4 inch drawer side height fits low-height drawer boxes, so it suits upper kitchen drawers, bath drawers, and utility drawers that do not require tall sides. The 96 inch length is useful in cabinet shops that gang-cut multiple sides, because several drawer pieces can be laid out along one blank while maintaining grain and finish direction. The white Vinyl Durawrap surface works well in installations where a light interior is preferred, such as residential kitchens and closets, since the neutral tone keeps interiors bright. Drawer side heights available from 2-3/4 inches through 10 inches allow these Genesis drawer side blanks to be used across different drawer depths in the same job, which keeps material type and finish consistent across an entire room of cabinetry.

Why These Construction Details Support Repeatable Results

The high density particle board core delivers greater screw holding strength, so drawer front attachment and slide bracket fastening remain solid over time and reduce the risk of joint loosening. The 1/4 inch drawer bottom dado machined into every blank sets a reliable seat for 1/4 inch bottoms, which speeds layout because the groove position is already established and identical from piece to piece. A 9/16 inch, or 14 mm, bottom reveal is built into the design, so the vertical relationship between bottom panel and side stays the same across an entire production run, which helps drawers slide and close uniformly. The Endura ultraviolet cured top coat on all wood blanks creates a hard, pre-finished surface, so assembled drawers move directly from construction to installation without separate coating steps that can slow schedules. The square edge profile maintains a straight, predictable edge along the length, which supports accurate cutting, squaring, and joinery, especially when using jigs or fixtures that rely on true edges.

Common Questions About Genesis Drawer Side Materials

Selecting These Drawer Sides For Your Next Run

Genesis drawer side blanks in the 2-3/4 inch x 96 inch white format combine a 1/2 inch thick, non-flammable Vinyl Durawrap surface with a high density particle board core, so they are built specifically for drawer box construction. The 1/4 inch drawer bottom dado and 9/16 inch bottom reveal are already machined into each blank, which reduces layout time and keeps drawer bottoms positioned consistently from box to box. With Endura ultraviolet cured top coat and a square edge profile, these drawer side materials arrive pre-finished and ready for cutting and assembly. For runs that call for coordinated shallow and deeper drawers, the available height range from 2-3/4 inches through 10 inches lets this line support a full project using the same construction approach.
