How to design box kickboard?

Hi guys

I need to prepare a box kick board like shown in the image below (white one). I bought his and its height is 250mm. This is making my vanity sit low. I need to have at least 300mm height box kickboard to be made. Custom built are about available.

 what timber from Bunnings I can use to make kick board of 300mm?

I looked into these timbers but i have to be careful about water penetration as well.

 the vanity I am using in bathroom is 1800. hence we need to have kickboard to support the weight.

 

Thanks

Re: how to design box kickboard

Hello @Sugar 

 

Laminated panels are the perfect material to use to build your tall kick board. However, the edges must be properly sealed if it is to be used inside a high moisture area. You can either paint it or fill it with white silicone. To keep it off the floor, I recommend using Surface Gard 22mm Black Round Rubber Bumper - 6 Pack or similar. It comes in various sizes and shapes so please choose carefully. You can also use plywood or pine panels. But these must be painted on all sides if it is to be used inside the bathroom.

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
