Abstract: A method of controlling the foaming of foamed-in-place insulation in a cabinet structure having an inner liner and an outer shell with the liner having an outer surface and the shell having an inner surface in outwardly spaced confronting relationship to the outer surface of the liner at a front opening of the cabinet. A flexible sheet is secured to either the outer surface of the liner or the inner surface of the shell at the front opening and has a preselected stiffness so as to cause the sheet to project away from the surface to which it is secured whereby the foaming of the insulation may carry the projected portion to the front opening of the insulation space. A backup member may be disposed across the opening so as to limit the outward deflection of the strip by the foam whereby the strip defines the outer boundary of the foamed insulation across the opening.
