There are two mounting options: flush mount or protruding
Option 1: Flush Mount
This is the cleanest look. To choose the size, you’ll most likely choose a Pixelcade marquee size on step down from the size of your current marquee. In this example, the original marquee is 30.5″ x 7.5″. As some cabinets have 3/4″ strips on the inside of the marquee opening and the Pixelcade marquee will sit 1 1/4″ inside , 25″ x 6.2″ (P5) will be the choice. The Outside Marquee Dimensions will be equal to the size of your original marquee.
See this video to help visualize, the back size of the mount will sit inside the marquee opening 1 1/4″ inch back and the front side will be flush mount, replacing your current marquee.
Your existing horizontal top and bottom brackets will be used to hold the Pixelcade marquee in place.
Option 2: Protruding
Here you’ll attach the back of the mount directly to your cabinet and the marquee will protrude by ~3/4″. The blue bars represent inside wood strips in the cabinet marquee opening (typically 3/4″). This option is good for cases where the marquee opening is smaller and it’s preferred to fill up more of the marquee space.
