Support beam inside cabinet

5 years ago

This is how the whole project began. A kitchen was given to me by a freind. My most beneficial cabinet ws the standing oven, due to my back problems. Once installation began the contractor removed the wall and bean that were originally built with the house. In order to fit this oven cabinet.It was always on our mind that what iif this was a supporting beam, we had it viewed by a framer, he said it was a support beam. So we decided to put it back. Hope I made sense.

I'm not clear about your question, but if you're asking if you can leave it as is or if you need to change it, you need to change it.

Yes, agree with @daisychain Zn3b - I’m not clear on your question either. is it about 1. leaving as is, or 2. cutting off top of cabinet doors & drywalling around beam?

What is he plan for fininshing off the beam? Paint only or drywall around it then paint? How tall are the doors up to the notch out for beam? My first thought is to cut off doors at the beam & wall over so looks like soffit. I could be convinced to go another way if someone has a better idea. I think the current look draws too much attention as it’s so unusual & it’s not a feature to highlight. That’s why I think cutting doors & drywall over top reduces impact as creates more ”usual”appearance. The beam reduces storage capability of that cabinet anyway, right?
