Hello,
we have purchased bathroom furniture from Puris and would like to install the wall cabinets. Since our walls are only tiled up to 1.20m (4 feet) high, there would be an air gap above the tiles.
I am now considering the best way to handle this. One idea is to shorten the side panel slightly. But which tool should I use to avoid the wood looking frayed afterwards?
Or do you have better suggestions?

And then the ventilation behind will be zero, which can and will cause mold to develop back there.
Cutting a “double” in it will ruin your nice cabinet in the end, which probably wasn’t cheap. Cabinets don’t have recessed back panels for no reason; there’s a purpose behind it.”

“Double” it up, and you’ll end up ruining your beautiful cabinet, which certainly wasn’t cheap. Cabinets don’t have an inset back panel without reason; it serves a purpose.
Correct, we had the same situation with our bathroom cabinet. Very expensive and with a glossy lacquer finish. Even our cabinetmaker refused to cut anything out.
We reinforced it with appropriate side panels, it looks good and will never be touched again.

We added matching side panels to double up the surface; it looks good and will never need to be redone.
Could you share a photo here? Perhaps even mention which side panels you used? Thank you very much.
