Finished End on Bottom of Wall Cabinet
And one last question about the use of finished ends on the bottom of wall cabinets. If I’m putting one under a normal wall cabinet with doors, should I order the WFE 5/8″ proud as well like the sides or should the bottom be the same depth as the cabinet and be flush for the best look?

It sounds like you are trying to skin the underside of the cabinets. You can do this with a finished end panel or use millwork such as the SQUARETRIM molding we sell.
Millwork is usually less expensive and can be miter-cut on site to handle corners. It also leaves more room for the under-cabinet lighting fixtures to tuck up into the recessed area.
You can certainly run the material 5/8 inch proud. This creates a more flush appearance that helps conceal the bottom edges of the cabinet doors while still leaving approximately a 1/8-inch setback from the face of the doors to the face of the under-cabinet light valance or skin.
