Shadow Line Reveal

What is a 'Shadow Line' or 'Reglet'?

Modern Architectural Recessing

A modern millwork detail where a 1/2" gap is left between the top of the cabinet and the ceiling. This creates a clean, architectural "floating" effect without using traditional crown moulding.

A deliberate 1/8" to 1/4" gap (reveal) between millwork and the ceiling or walls to create a crisp, contemporary aesthetic.
