D. Peninsula or Island Wall Cabinets
1. When hanging cabinets from the ceiling or soffit,
such as a double-faced wall cabinet over a pen-
insula or island, cabinets should be installed using
at least two #8 washer head screws per every 16
inches of cabinet width.
2. These screws should go through 3⁄16" pilot holes,
pre-drilled in the face frames and should have at
least 11⁄2" of penetration in solid wood such as ceil-
ing joists or soffit frames.
3. If there is no soffit or ceiling above the cabinets, a
support must be installed from the countertop to
the bottom of the cabinet.
II. COUNTER HEIGHT CABINETS
Counter height cabinets sit directly on the countertop such as a Tambour Cabinet, Appliance Garage, Bookcase,
Wall Cabinet With Drawers, etc.
If you are using a cabinet unit designed to sit on the counter you will need to install them just as you would wall
cabinets. The countertop will have to slide under these cabinets during installation. You must allow 15⁄8" clearance
(standard clearance) from the bottom of these cabinets to the top of the base cabinets.
If you use a Tambour cabinet that is not built as one complete unit with the wall cabinet, then you must install it
after the countertop is installed.
PLEASE CONSULT YOUR AUTHORIZED WELLBORN DEALER FOR GUIDANCE ON TRIMMING ANY OF THESE
CABINETS.
