¶ Standard:
Default Leg leveler height is 4.5 inches, but the toekick board height is 4 1/8 inches. The small gap on the top is almost not visible and for 3 good reasons:
- For ventilation, in case moisture trapped under cabinet. Create a way for the moisture to escape, prevent cabinet and their content from damaged.
- For ease of maintenance. That small gap make it easy to remove the toekick.
- Floor is not level, some area the toekick height might be smaller than 4.5 inches, if we make the board exactly 4.5 inches, you will have hard time install and maintain it.
