V 1-9/16" Cabinet Maple Moulding is a solid maple cabinet moulding, unfinished -- ready for your choice of paint, stain, or clear finish. Cabinet moulding adds architectural detail and a furniture-grade finish to kitchen cabinets, built-ins, and custom casework. It bridges the gap between the cabinet top and the ceiling, finishes exposed edges, and adds crown and base detail. Available at Windsor Plywood locations across Canada.

Common Uses
Installed on cabinet faces, tops, and bases. Typically glued and pinned with a micro pin nailer to avoid visible holes on finished cabinet surfaces. Maple is the premium choice for clear-finished and natural-look moulding. It blotches with penetrating stain -- use gel stain or dye for even colour.
Pro Tips
- Cabinet moulding is typically stained or clear-finished to match the cabinet material. Test your finish on a scrap piece of the same moulding profile before installing.
- For clear finish: sand to 220-grit and apply water-based polyurethane to maintain the pale colour. For stain: use gel stain or dye -- maple blotches with penetrating liquid stain. For paint: prime and paint directly.
- For cabinet crown, build a nailer strip (flat board mounted to the cabinet top) that brings the crown mounting surface flush with the cabinet face. This gives the crown a solid nailing base and correct positioning.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I add crown moulding to kitchen cabinets?
Mount a flat nailer board to the cabinet tops, flush with the face frame. Install the crown moulding against the nailer and the ceiling or soffit. This provides a solid mounting surface and correct crown positioning.
Does maple accept stain evenly?
Not with penetrating liquid stain -- maple blotches due to varying density. Use a gel stain or dye for controlled, even colour. For the cleanest result, apply a clear finish and let the natural pale colour speak for itself.
