Remaining Cabinets
After
corner or end cabinet(s) are fastened, continue installation with
remaining adjacent cabinets.
End
Wall Filler
Wall
Fillers are available to fill gaps between the end of a row of cabinets
and a 90 wall.
Prepare Backer Board
Figure 11
NOTE: A Backer Board is required behind the Wall Filler only
if the Filler is wider than 3".
Attach Backer Board before installing the final cabinet.
To mark Wall Filler and Backer Board positions:
- Run
a straight edge across the space between the wall and the closest
cabinet. On wall, mark behind the Straight Edge.
- Draw
a straight, vertical line from this mark.
- Align
front of Filler on this mark. Mark behind the Filler for front
position of the Backer Board.
- Attach
Backer Board to wall so it is plumb. Be sure that Backer Board
is wide enough to be fastened to the nearest wall stud.
Install
Final Cabinet
Shim, level, and install the final cabinet.
Measure Wall Filler
Figure 12
With final cabinet in place, measure gap between the wall and the
top and bottom of the cabinet.
If wall contour is even, use this dimension to mark and cut the
Filler.
Scribe Wall Filler For Irregular Wall
Figure 12
If the wall contour is irregular, you'll need to clamp the Filler
parallel to the cabinet, then use a compass to scribe the wall contour
onto the surface of the Filler.
NOTE: Scribing is required only if the wall surface is irregular.
Before scribing, run masking tape down the Filler where the scribe
mark will be. This tape will show the mark better and will protect
the Wall Filler surface when cutting.
Clamp Wall Filler to front of the final cabinet so its uncut edge
is parallel to the cabinet.
Use compass to scribe wall contour onto the Wall Filler.
NOTE: Cut conservatively! It is better to cut too little
than to cut too much. Final fitting may require edge sanding.
Cut Wall Filler to width following the scribe mark.
Put Filler in position. Drill and fasten between final cabinet and
Filler edge.
Use finish nails to tack Wall Filler to Backer Board, if necessary.
