| Crown moldings are typically 8 foot long strips of wood around
1 to 4 inches wide cut in different decorative designs. They are usually placed at the
top or bottom of the wall cabinets. When attached to the top of the wall cabinets they
are typically placed at a 45 degree angle away from the top of the wall cabinets, which
gives it a much more decorative look. The molding can be a single strip or two strips
combined, either one on top or inside of the other. Moldings can also be angled to go
around curved cabinets.

| In addition to your decorative crown moldings you also have your
standard filler moldings, which are used to hide the gaps created when a straight cabinet
meets an unstraight wall or ceiling. Scribe molding is typically used to fill in the gap
between the top of the wall cabinet and a soffitt. Inside corner moldings is used to
hide the gap between the side of a cabinet and the wall. Outside corner molding is used
to cover the space between the side of an island or peninsula cabinet and the finished back
cover panel.
