Overlay Panels
If you and your client have ordered an overlay model, you
will be adding panels and handles to give the unit a more
custom look. The overlay panel design option is available
for all built-in overlay models. For exact door panel dimen-
sions, refer to overlay panel specifications on the following
pages.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Overlay models can be used in an
overlay or a flush inset application. Be aware that the
application specified will affect panel sizes, rough opening
dimensions and installation.
The overlay design allows decorative panels to cover the
door trim for a more seamless appearance that blends
with the design of the room. The most common way to
achieve this look is to work with three panels—the decora-
tive overlay panel, which is typically
3
/4" (19), a .10" (3)
spacer panel and a
1
/4" (6) backer panel. Depending on
your cabinet manufacturer, this could also be one panel
routed for different dimensions.
Regardless of the physical construction of the panels
(three-panel assembly or routed panel), you will need to
follow the overlay panel specifications on the following
pages for exact sizing and panel placement to ensure a
proper fit.
Custom cabinet overlay panels can be combined with unique
hardware for design flexibility. Shown with pro handle option
to complement Wolf ranges and rangetops.
