3l Choose the type of decorative molding you

want to use around the room side of the cabinet. Your choice affects the finish frame

alignment with the inside wall. When using a

wood, metal or plastic molding, the finish frame should almost line up with the inside wall. If the wall is plastered to the cabinet

and no molding is used, the finish frame must be set into the wall by l/2” (see Figure 4

for frame construction or Figure 5 for brick
