    Hi, can you tell me how much space is between the top of a door and the top of the wall cabinet. The cabinets will be attached to a soffit and may need trim. If you have a suggestion for trim, that would also be appreciated.

    Sure, you will have approximately a 1/8″ reveal between the top of the cabinet doors and the top of the cabinet case. Be sure to use a crown molding or spacer to properly tie the cabinets into the ceiling or soffit.

    These cabinets are not designed to be installed tight to the ceiling, as a 1/8″ gap is too small to create a clean, professional transition between the cabinet case and a drywalled ceiling. Depending on the finished ceiling height, we recommend allowing adequate space for an appropriate crown molding or spacer height.

    You may use a flat crown or a more decorative crown molding combination, as shown in the link below.
