Installation Guide

7.1
Trim molding is used to trim out cabinetry where cabinets
meet an adjacent wall, soffit or ceiling. Carefully measure
and cut to proper length. Use small finish nails or a pin
nailer to attach where cabinet and wall meet. (Figure 19)
7.2
Crown moldings mount along the top edge of the cabinets.
If your cabinets are full overlay, you may need to install
some blocking material to the top of the cabinet first.
(Figure 20)
7.3
When moldings meet at an angle, you will need to use a
miter box for a proper cut. Once moldings are cut to fit, use
small finish nails or a pin nailer to attach the molding to the
face frame of the cabinet.
7.4
When trimming molding, keep in mind that the proper
position for the molding in the miter box is upside down
with the bottom edge resting against the fence. (Figure 21)
