SECTION 1- INSTALLATION
Installing
Light Rail Molding
Illustrated Method Sheet 109
Light Rail is a decorative molding that is usually mounted to the underside of a wall
cabinet box to cover counter lighting installations from view. It is available as a single
piece of molding with detailed or squared edges and in an “ELL” shaped confi guration
with a backer piece attached.
The procedure in this
Illustrated Method
Shee t assumes that the
steps described previous-
ly have been completed.
Light Rail Molding is the
last item to complete be-
fore begining to install the
Base Cabinets.
Except for reinstalling the
doors and shelves, it com-
pletes the Wall Cabinet
installation and represents
an approximate midpoint
in the installation process
overall.
Since Light Rail Molding
is placed at eye level, the
workmanship displayed
by the installer will receive
some of the highest scru-
tiny by the Builder and
eventual Homeowner.
Light Rail Placement Examples
1/8” Overhang
to Front
Side View
Flush
to Side
Front View
AMLR2 and AMLR 5

Unlike crown molding that installs against a fl at surface such as Sub Crown, Light Rail
installs directly to the bottom of the wall cabinets.
The challenge is that the placement of Light Rail changes. It should be mounted at differ-
ent depths depending on type and location.
