Build-Up

Additional layers of trim molding stacked below crown molding to create a taller, more elaborate decorative treatment at the top of wall cabinets. Build-up molding typically consists of one or more horizontal boards and smaller profile pieces that extend the height of the crown assembly. This technique is popular in traditional and formal kitchen designs where a grand, furniture-quality appearance is desired.
