Unfinished Next to Appliances
When you have a cabinet adjacent to an appliance, you need 1/8” reveal on your cabinet.
Filler
- Our MKE fillers are 3” wide to scribe (cut) to your desired width. You will need a filler every time your cabinet is next to a wall. We recommend making all your fillers 1.5” final width.
- MKE Fillers are flush with the doors to have a consistent, clean look and are not set back (often sold at big box stores).
- The “front cleat” is the finished piece that will fill the gap between the cabinet and the wall. It will be the same finish as the doors. The filler will need to be scribed (cut) to the right size no smaller than 3/4".
- The “return cleat” is the piece of raw material that attaches to the side of the cabinet and supports the “front cleat”.
- Filler Height = Box height
- If your door is 3/4” thick, you will get an MKE Filler 3/4”.
- Do not forget to add a filler every time that a cabinet ends in a wall (no exceptions!). It is not necessary to add fillers if your cabinet dies into another cabinet EXCEPT in corners.
