How to fit Cornices or Pelmets on kitchen Units

In this video I explain how I go fit cornice or pelmet trims around my kitchen units. This video demonstrates a very simple box trim which goes above and below the kitchen units. This trim is usually made from MDF but can be from solid wood too.
if you interested in saving some money quickly and want to learn a new hobby, woodworking is great. there are so many great courses online which don't break the bank. Trying out projects like this will save you lots of money and also give you the opportunity to lean new skills which you can apply to other tasks around the house or even better as a side Hussle or even grow your own business.

I put my decor panels and pelmets 5mm forward looks great I tried it flush but after talking to a kitchen fitter of 40 years he said you can do what you want I put perspex back splash and I put some under the bottom of the cupboards looks great. Good video thanx

Thank you sir, very informative, Unlike some comments made - not understanding - should give up on DIY completely!

[@TMCarpentry]

Thanks 👍

[@robertwelch3201]

Brilliant explanation 👏

[@munirshafi2647]

Can you fit the bottom ones flush to handle less j-pull doors where the j-pull is at the bottom of the wall unit ?

Firm who installed my kitchen cut the cornices with a hand saw and butchered it.. the ends are all hacksawed and now I have to buy a drop saw to cut the new cornices.. fortunately there was 2 lengths left over

[@TMCarpentry]

I just don’t know why someone would do that. The cuts come out nice a clean with a chop saw and a lot easier.

Hi
How do you cut the corners if you do not have the add on end panels that are longer and you need to put a cornice around. Do you mitre cut the corners?

[@TMCarpentry]

Yes I would usually cut a mitre joint and glue the joint with rapid mitre glue.

[@thereds32]

Is it not easier to paint the room before fitting the cabinets ? Tq

[@TMCarpentry]

Yes agree. Clients request

[@timdone1902]

Is it normal to extend the side panel below the bottom rail?

[@TMCarpentry]

Depends on supplier but Howdens usually do this.

[@KennyEvansUK]

Personal preference, I've see it like this but with the pelmet recessed back to the cupboard edge as opposed to the door. What ever the customer wants really.

[@PetiteBluebirdgirl]

Cannot hear you. Had to turn volume up on full.

And he basically showed you nothing
