2. 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

no molding is used, the finish frame must be
set into the wall by 12.7 mm (I/$‘). (See top
figure at left for frame construction. See
middle figure at left for brick veneer construc-
