Hot environment - lots of triple digit days in Summer. Winter might only barely hit freezing one or 2 nights typically.
Problem is anything you leave in the cabinet in the summer gets HOT. A cream might get pretty soft if not liquify for example. Liquids will be a bit warm.
In the winter moisture can condense once the back panel just like it would on a window in the event of a quick frigid drop with a good amount of humidity in the air. If the windows have some moisture condensing on the inside - this cabinet will too.
The concern here is the high temps hitting the contents of the medicine cabinet and the occasional moisture that might accumulate on the back panel.
I *LIKE* that idea of driving the nails further in until they clear the sides! Thanks for the pro tip!
That is interesting that the 1st inch of insulation provides the most difference and so on. Thx.
My plan is to remove the cabinets, put in an inch of foam, re-mount with an additional piece of trim surround to furr them out. I think that 1-inch foam behind the cabinet should be 'good enough'.
Thanks all!
