Installing Crown Molding on Kitchen Cabinets


Crown molding on cabinets is installed the same as crown molding on a wall.  The bottom of the crown is held firm on the cabinet face and installed in that position. You can attach the crown several different ways.  If your cabinets extend up to your ceiling, you will place the crown like you would on a wall and ceiling setup.  If your cabinets do not reach the ceiling, you will simply attach the crown to the top of the cabinet.

All of these turn of the crown are turns in the horizontal plane.  Your crown slope angle will be 90 deg minus your crown spring angle (see page 38).   Glue all joints as you install.

For these cabinets, you will need to install a simple nailing block to the top of the cabinet every three feet to hold the crown firm.  Cut the nailing block to the crown spring angle.  Glue all joints as you install.

There are many custom-made shapes of crown molding available for cabinets.  If you have a shape that is not typical, send me an end view photo of your crown molding and I will be glad to advise you as to how to cut and mount it.

Easy, Simple, Guaranteed. 

 


The word molding is spelled with a "u" in some parts of the world.

Moulding is the British spelling.

Due to the global nature of the Internet we use both spellings throughout
