| To
understand Overlay Specifications you must first understand
the two terms Overlay and Reveal. |
| |
| Overlay
is the amount of the cabinet face frame that is covered
by the doors & drawer front. Our cabinet face frames
are 1 1/2" wide. A 15" wide cabinet would have
a door opening of 12". If the door itself is 13"
wide it would overlay the frame 1/2" on each side.
Therefore it would be called a 1/2" overlay. Most
traditional cabinetry features a 1/2" overlay. If
the door was 14 1/2" wide it would overlay the frame
1 1/4" on each side. Therefore it would be a 1 1/4"
overlay. Normally the amount of overlay for the top &
bottom will be the same amount as the sides. |
| |
| Reveal
refers to the amount of frame left showing (or revealed)
after the door is on the cabinet. The 15" wide cabinet
with a 13" door would have 1" of frame left
showing on each side of the door & would be referred
to as a 1" reveal. The 1 1/4" overlay door would
produce a 1/4" reveal. |

| The
Modified Overlay gives you the ability to hang crown mold
directly to the cabinet without needing an extra nailer
strip added to the top on a full overlay cabinet. With
a 1" reveal at the top you drop your crown mold down
3/4" and nail. This then leaves 1/4" between
bottom of crown and top of door which matches the rest
of the 1/4" reveal. The Modified Overlay Reveal can
be increased to accommodate wide crown molding when ceiling
clearance is a problem. This is very handy when installing
cabinetry directly against ceiling. Most cabinetry does
not leave you enough room to install a crown mold when
cabinets are against ceiling. With this feature you can
install any size crown you want. |
