Using Soffits in Modern Cabinet

Posted by MAKMU ta On Saturday, November 26, 2011 No comments

It's best to have soffits in modern cabinets; having them give many advantages and functionality, such as:
1- Anchored to the joists above and upper structure of the cabinets screwed to the soffit framing to prevent sag.
- The open top cabinets are nothing but dirt and grease collection points, soffits cure that.
- It added function of carrying wires, especially network, power and coax for tv's is more prevalent today; as noted with the flat panel TV on an arm and the wiring hidden.
- You can use the soffit for installing security sensors and cameras for customers as well and it work exceptionally well and in many cases you have been able to put a small 3x3 one way glass or smoked plexi with a small frame flush mounted and be able to hide the cameras while the camera can still work and even has some up down left right adjustment.
- Soffits also used in the past and present to carry heating and cooling or allow a duct from the range hood to go through the ceiling invisibly and exit thru the wall or attic at any place along the soffit.
- Another use for them if a person is creative is to install a false top inside the cabinet that is held magnetically and when opened allows access to the soffit for temporary storage of valuables (also works in laundry room cabinet soffits).
