Shelves

In this section you enter specifications regarding the shelves. Some of the information on shelves is also entered in the "Initial Values" standards window. The values you give for "dado depth" and for "width / depth-opening less" will be used to determine the size of the fixed and / or adjustable shelves you place in a cabinet. These values can be changed at any time and the changes will affect the shelves in the cabinets already placed.

Explanation of Shelf Specifications

BASES & UPPERS

Base shelves include all cabinets that come into contact with the floor including full height pantries and full height double oven cabinets.
Upper shelves include all of the cabinets that do not come into contact with the floor such as standard uppers, refer upper, hood upper cabinets, etc.
Dado Depth: If you selected fixed shelves, enter the depth of the dado for the shelves. If the shelves are not dadoed, enter 0.
Width - Opening Less: If you selected adjustable shelves, subtract the width of the shelves from the width of the opening. Enter the resulting number. (If you wish no space between the sides of the cabinet and the shelves, enter 0.)
Depth - Opening Less (From Front): If you selected adjustable shelves, enter the distance from the front of the cabinet opening to the front of the shelf.
Depth - Opening Less (From Back): If you selected adjustable shelves, enter the distance from the back of the cabinet opening to the back of the shelf.
Add Structural Shelf Behind Center Rails?
Add Structural Horizontal Partition Behind Edging?: In Face Frame, selecting the radio button labeled Yes will place a structural shelf behind all center rails in the cabinet. Selecting No will not place the structural shelf. In Euro, selecting the radio button labeled Yes will place a structural horizontal partition behind every horizontal edging in the cabinet. Selecting No will not place the structural horizontal partition.
Position of Shelf Behind Center Rail: In Face Frame, you can position each structural shelf behind their center rails in the cabinet by choosing the appropriate radio button: Top, Center, or Bottom.
Split Structural Shelves for Tray Dividers and Partitions Behind Mullions?
Split Structural Horizontal Partitions for Tray Dividers and Vertical Partitions?: In Face Frame, you can split the structural shelves (if you opted to include them) when there are connecting tray dividers or vertical partitions by selecting Yes. In Euro, you can split the structural horizontal partitions behind edging (if you opted to include them) when there are connecting tray dividers or vertical partitions by selecting Yes. If you select No in either Face Frame or Euro, then the structural shelves or horizontal partitions will NOT be split and instead the tray dividers or partitions will remain as two individual boards. Note: A connecting tray divider or vertical partition is when the tray divider or partition in the opening above is directly above the tray divider or partition in the opening below and they join together to make one large tray divider or partition the length of both openings.
