Stainless steel vs. aluminum microwave oven trim kits

Trim kits from Micro-Trim are fabricated from aluminum (not stainless steel), then color powder coated or anodized, which DOES NOT integrate with your stainless steel appliance finish, and gives a distinctly different look between the trim kit and the microwave.

TrimKits USA EuroTrim trim kits are made of stainless steel that perfectly matches today’s high-end kitchen appliances.

In addition, EuroTrim kits DO NOT have any of the obtrusive finishes and mounting technics that the OEM competitors use, such as:

• brushed aluminum (does not match the stainless steel appliance)

• plastic (does not match the stainless steel appliance)

• seams (don’t look good, grain of metal runs in different directions)

• spot welds (not very strong)

• visible screws (not appealing, creates holes in your expensive cabinets, hard to clean)

• clips (have to be aligned perfectly for install to work)

Many microwave oven trim kits are too tall and won't fit the cabinetry properly

Many microwave oven trim kits are too tall in height and won't fit the cabinetry properly.

In addition, they do not look proportional, therefore do not integrate well with the microwave oven.

TrimKits USA custom builds microwave trim kits that are not only aesthetically pleasing, but they also are correctly designed and proportionate, therefore look great.

Free up counter space by building your microwave into your cabinetry. TrimKits USA offers EuroTrim™, North America's largest line of build-in appliance trim kits making it possible to create a built-in microwave oven for practically any appliance brand for that stylish look of a built-in appliance.

Why Integrate a Microwave?

  • A countertop microwave eats up valuable work space.
  • In build around cabinetry there will be be gaps between the microwave and the cabinetry, which will not result in the flush look of a fully integrated, custom unit.
  • A microwave fully integrated into the cabinetry offers a custom look.
  • The more tightly the microwave fits into the space, the more streamlined it looks.
  • Group your microwave with other appliances:
    • It makes sense to have cooking appliances in the same location, so group the microwave with a wall oven or other appliances.
    • Selecting a trim kit that matches the appliances helps the microwave blend in.
    • Since you're already using the wall for appliances, no additional countertop space is wasted.
  • EuroTrim trim kits also enable built-in models to be fitted into existing cabinet openings that may not be perfectly matched to the microwave dimensions.
  • The final determining factor may come down to the look of the trim kit:
    • Do you like it and does it work with your other appliances?
    • EuroTrim kits match literally every manufacturers appliances
