FAQs

How do I know which size of cabinet fill strip to use?

The size of cabinet fill strip you need will depend on the height of the cabinet you are installing it next to. If you are unsure, purchase a longer option and trim it down to suit. Sometimes you will need to buy an L-shaped fill strip to carry the edge underneath an overhead cabinet, or you may need to buy two cover panels and have a join if your cabinets are very tall.

What materials are cabinet cover strips typically made from?

Cabinet cover strips from So Watt are made from durable birch plywood or blackbutt plywood.

What finishes are available for cabinet cover strips?

Finishes for the birch ply options include water-based painted colours curated by So Watt, and laminated options using colours from Fenix or Laminex ranges. The hardwood plywoods are finished in a clear wood wax.

Can I use cabinet fill strips with any type of cabinetry?

Cabinet fill strips can generally be used with any type of cabinetry as long as the width of the gap is within the size range of the fill strip. If you are installing fill strips to wall mounted overhead cabinets, make sure you consider whether you are using doors with an overhang, as this will mean your fill strips need to be longer. You would also need to shop the L-shape fill strip to return it back to the wall unless you have a cover panel going the full width of the underside of the cabinets.

Can cabinet fill strips be removed or adjusted after installation?

Cabinet fill strips can typically be removed or adjusted after installation, but this will required unscrewing the fill strip and re-arranging the cabinets on either side. We send an extra small packer piece to help you keep your cabinets straight as you go along, place this at the back so that the cabinets don’t pinch together and go skew.

Do I need to install cabinet fill strips and cover strips myself, or can a professional do it for me?

You can install cabinet fill strips and cover strips yourself with basic DIY skills and tools, but if you are not comfortable with the installation process, it is recommended to hire a professional to do it for you.
