Here are some of the accessories that we offer:
Crown Mouldings:The crown molding encapsulates a large family of moldings which are designed to flare out to a finished top edge. Crown molding for kitchen cabinets is applied on the top edge of the upper cabinets and it is made of the same wood and finish as the cabinets. They are a good choice if you want to achieve a classic/elegant look but enough space between the upper cabinets and the ceiling is necessary. Crown molding is ordered by linear feet, it is wise to order 20-30% more than what is needed keeping in mind that mistakes could be made during installation and that wood is a natural product.We offer two different types and pricing is based on quantity (per linear foot).
