Hi everybody! I have a problem with a translation. I can't figure out "toe kick installation" as well as "filler overlay"
Can someone help me?

plinthe

Explanation:
This is a "plinthe" under the cabinet to protect the furniture and to keep things from rolling under, or from dirt from getting trapped under the cabinet.

filler overlay is a \"joint\" to connect two pieces of cabinet in order to keep dust and dirt from getting in between them.
