We installed windows and doors, then made a flooring template(piece of laminate with the foam underlayment staple to the bottom) placing our baseboard with a reveal channel ... on top of our floor template loosely, then nailing the base in which locked the channel in. Then spray the reveal and base and do the drywall last. I posted earlier some drywall reveals.. secret would be put install these at a consistent height everywhere and then drywall just sits on top and there is a mud lip to finish it off. then when ready flooring would be installed right up to plastic reveal and base installed last. we do design/build Reno’s and additions so I design, budget, project manage and we do the cabinets as well so full control.

What thickness is the splash then? Most quartz and stone only comes in 2cm or 3cm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 1/20/2019 at 9:24 AM, Kbird1 said: haven't tried Michael's S shaped Trim above but NO , as you can only have one side recessed to the framing. Someone should just try it. If you draw a piece of molding using the basic shape and orientation I showed, it will actually inset back into the wall. It has nothing to do with recessing the door or window. In fact, you could even use the same method for the base trim if you wanted. It would still require a pony wall though in order to automate the groove. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dskogg Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 Thanks for your time Michael... i finally figured it out using your method. Cheers. I had to recess to main layer and use a s molding for case..here is what i did to make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need to recess the door at all. Like I alluded to earlier, you might need to increase the rough opening dimensions. Chief will only cut interior wall layers around the door back as far as that rough opening setting, so if your molding profile is 1.25" wide then you'll need to increase the rough opening to 1.25" as well. Again, you shouldn't actually need to recess the doors or windows at all though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael, i am not sure how to make it work using your method, i increased ro by 7" and unchecked recessed to wall and this is what happens...perhaps i am doing something wrong?

Flush example.plan By the way, I'm not necessarily saying this is the best method to use. Only that it is A method. One of the most automatic if all you need is quick 3D stuff.

It depends a bit on the final look , this Method works if you want the Commercial Style recess with the Door Frame flush to the Drywall surface ,(no casings) and don't mind the reveal all the way to the Floor. At least it is working in Michael's plan ..... I guess I am looking at the unfixed plan of your's David as the "casing" is out past the drywall... Pretty sure TrimTex has these drywall reveal trims available... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
