A Full-Sheet TFL Panel Sized for Tall Cabinet and Wardrobe Runs
The SALT 5 A/A Decorative Panel in Mahnolia Linen brings a warm, textured neutral to casework that is visible on both faces. At 61 inches wide by 110-1/4 inches tall in a 19 mm A/A construction, this sheet is built for tall wardrobe carcasses, open shelving, and any cabinet component where the back panel or shelf underside is as exposed as the front.
Key Features
- 13-hour water-resistant core — a vendor test result, not a wet-area rating, and useful where spills and humidity are routine.
- 100% post-consumer recycled core — the Gruppo Saviola board program is built entirely from reclaimed wood fiber.
- A/An A/A construction means the same Mahnolia Linen decor runs on both faces, so no face is ever a hidden back.
- Calicot finish delivers a fine, linen-like texture that catches light evenly without reading as glossy.
- 61 x 110-1/4 inch sheet size provides room for tall parts that a standard 4 x 8 sheet cannot yield in a single piece.
- 19 mm thickness is the standard cabinet-box dimension, pairing directly with confirmat fasteners and 23 mm edgebanding.
- CARB2 compliant hardwood particleboard core keeps the sheet flat across a wide run and holds machine-driven fasteners without splitting.
- Matching ABS edgebanding is available in this color, so cut edges close cleanly in the same decor.
Where This Panel Works
Tall wardrobe and pantry carcasses are where a 61 x 110-1/4 inch sheet earns its place in the cut list. A single sheet clears a standard floor-to-ceiling closet side panel without a seam, and the A/A construction means the interior face reads as finished without a secondary laminating step. Open room dividers and library shelving also benefit from the full A/A build, where every visible surface in a space must match. For shops laying out a run of tall upper and lower cabinets together, the oversized sheet reduces the number of joints on the widest components and keeps grain continuity across an unbroken run.
Surface, Core, and Construction
The Calicot finish is a thermally fused laminate face with a close linen texture, soft in sheen and consistent enough across the sheet that joints read as intentional rather than mismatched. Mahnolia Linen sits in a warm off-white register, neutral enough to pair with a wide range of door faces and hardware finishes. The TFL face is fused directly to the hardwood particleboard core under heat and pressure, so there is no adhesive line to open at the edge under normal cabinet conditions. At 19 mm, the core holds a confirmat or Euro-style screw firmly across a standard 32 mm drilling grid. This is an interior application panel; it is built for conditioned, dry spaces and is not intended for exposed exterior or high-humidity environments.
Who Reaches for This Sheet
Cabinet shops and commercial millwork operations building tall wardrobe, pantry, or storage wall programs will get the most from this format. The sheet size answers the specific problem of a full-height carcass side that a 96-inch sheet leaves short, and the A/A construction eliminates the need to specify a second material for the interior. Designers specifying open shelving programs or room dividers where both faces are in view should note the A/A grade: there is no secondary face to orient away from sightlines. The Mahnolia Linen color and Calicot texture work in residential, hospitality, and retail fixture contexts where a warm, refined neutral is the brief.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does A/A mean on a SALT 5 panel?
A/A means both faces carry the same decorative surface to the same grade standard. Either face can be the show face, which is what separates an A/A panel from an A/B panel with a balancing backer.
Is matching edgebanding available in Mahnolia Linen?
Yes. Matching ABS edgebanding is available for SALT 5 colors including Mahnolia Linen, so cut edges close in the same decor as the face.
Is matching HPL available for SALT 5?
No. Matching high-pressure laminate is not part of the SALT 5 program. If your job requires an HPL countertop or worksurface in the same color, look to the Saviola collection, which does offer matching HPL.
How many square feet is this sheet?
A 61 x 110-1/4 inch sheet covers approximately 46.8 square feet. Use that figure for material estimating, keeping in mind that usable yield depends on your specific cut list.
What edgebanding width pairs with a 19 mm panel?
A 23 mm band is the standard choice for a 19 mm panel. It trims flush on both faces and leaves enough overhang for a clean machine or hand scrape.
A Neutral That Holds Its Own Across an Entire Run
Mahnolia Linen in the Calicot finish is the kind of warm neutral that recedes when it should and reads as finished at every visible edge — face, interior, and end grain alike, once the banding is on. For shops that need a full-height panel without a seam and an A/A build without a workaround, this sheet does the job in one.
