Frequently Asked Questions
What is cabinet moulding used for?
Cabinet moulding adds decorative detail and a finished, furniture-quality look to cabinet boxes. Common applications include crown moulding along the top of upper cabinets, light rail moulding along the bottom of uppers, base moulding along the toe kick, and edge trim on doors and drawer fronts.
What types of cabinet moulding does Windsor Plywood carry?
Windsor Plywood carries crown, cove, light rail, base, and edge-profile cabinet mouldings in solid wood and paint-grade MDF. Profiles range from simple and contemporary to traditional raised-panel styles. Species options include maple, oak, and poplar, with MDF being the most common choice for painted cabinet finishes.
How do I match cabinet moulding to existing cabinetry?
Bring a door sample or door profile photograph to Windsor Plywood when selecting moulding. The profile style including Shaker, raised panel, traditional, or contemporary should guide the moulding selection. In painted applications, matching profile style matters more than exact species match since paint unifies the finish.
Do I need crown moulding on top of kitchen cabinets?
It is not required, but crown moulding on top of upper cabinets significantly elevates the finished quality of a kitchen. It fills the gap between the cabinet top and ceiling, makes the installation look deliberate and built-in, and adds visual height. The decision depends on budget, ceiling height, and the style of the cabinetry.
Can cabinet moulding be added to existing cabinets?
Yes. Adding crown, light rail, or base moulding is one of the most cost-effective ways to upgrade existing cabinets without replacing them. The moulding is typically glued and nailed, then caulked and painted. For best results, the existing cabinet finish should be cleaned and lightly sanded before attaching new moulding.
