How do I size my stainless steel toekick?
Measure the height you need from the floor to the bottom of your cabinet, or the highest point that you want the stainless steel toe kick to cover. With a typical cabinet overhang, you will not be able to see the top 1⁄8 - 1⁄4” of the toe kick unless you are lying on the floor, and giving yourself some extra room will make the install a bit easier, so do not worry about getting it really tight on the height. For the length, just measure the length of toe kick you will need. If you are going to be using an inside or outside corner piece (highly recommended for easier measure, easier install, and a great look) you will have a full inch of “forgiveness” as the corner will overlap the toe kick, and can do so by as little as 1/16 of an inch up to a full inch.

How do I clean my stainless steel toekick?
A soft cloth, mild soap and water will do the trick. You will get the best results by wiping “with the grain” or lengthwise down the stainless toe kick. Do NOT use chlorine based or abrasive cleaners. Check out our blog post on this topic as well.
How do I install my stainless steel toekick?
Install is quick and easy, using extreme bond tape, known sometimes as VHB (Very High Bond) doublesided adhesive tape, designed for permanent installation. Check out our install video for more information. A second option is silicone caulk or construction adhesive applied to back of the stainless toe kick. Press the toe kick in place, and if possible use either painters tape at any ends, or use an object with bit of weight to apply enough pressure to keep the stainless toe kick in place for up to 24 hours.
