Step 1
Lay Out Wood Tops
1.1
Confi rm
the location of any
Wood Tops and
the direction of any
joints and fi nished
ends.
Calculate needed
sizes from material
supplied and right
or left handing if
fi nished ends are
specifi ed.
1.2
Examine the walls in the area where Wood Tops will be installed. Identify out
of square conditions at corners as well as humps and recesses along the length of the
walls.
Utilize both a straight edge (level) and a carpenters square to determine the wall and
corner conditions.
This information is important for accurately fi tting the top to the wall and corner condi-
tion with proper alignment to the face of the cabinets.
Determining the Corner and Back Wall Conditions for a Finish Top Installation
Use a straight edge
and a carpenters
square to display
the actual
corner to back wall
condition.
Wood Tops are a counter
surface constructed with
the same materials and
fi nish as the cabinetry.
They can help give a
true furniture look to any
cabinet installation.
Without a
straightedge, small
imperfections in the
backwall can give an
inaccurate
representation of
the corner
