Base Cabinet Installation 101
Shim or Scribe Cabinets to Fit?
Base Cabinets should be installed level and plumb.
Installing cabinets level and plumb needs to happen even if your kitchen or bathroom floor is not level! The controversial job-site question is whether to shim or scribe the cabinets to fit.
Installing new kitchen cabinets requires you to draw a level line on the wall before you install wall or base cabinets to ensure the cabinets stay level horizontally.
When installing your base cabinets to the level line you need to either shim the new cabinets from the high point of the floor or scribe and fit the cabinets to the floor from the lowest point.
The scribe and fit method eliminates the need for base shoe molding.
* Scribe and Fit = Cut down and sand to fit.
If you choose to shim up your base cabinets a trim or shoe molding will need to surround
the cabinets "toe kick" area to cover up the gap.
