What is Cabinet Refacing?

In the kitchen, there’s just a lot of things to do-mostly food preparation. Consequently, this task can be messy if not done cautiously and hygienically. Yet, most of the time, no matter how sanitary you can be, it is still inevitable to find stains on your kitchen walls, countertops, and even cabinets. And when cleaning is not a good option anymore, you would want a cabinet replacement. Nope, not that fast!

The better option is the kitchen cabinet refacing. Cabinet refacing is the act of replacing the parts, hardware, and skins of the storage furniture. Through this solution, you won’t have to worry about getting yourself a bunch of new cabinets when your existing ones are still functional and very sturdy.

Pros

Apart from cost-cutting, it keeps the layout of your kitchen in favor of you. It also provides you with lots of design and style options, unlike the restricted designs of new cabinets. You will have to do all the searching first before finding the right design and build of a kitchen cabinet.

As you retain your existing cabinets, you keep them away from the landfill. This makes the kitchen cabinet refacing a green and better option for the environment. Storage boxes are usually made up of MDF (medium-density fiberboard) that contains a hazardous chemical called formaldehyde.

With cabinet refacing, you are able to add a kitchen island or peninsula. It also offers the option of increasing the height of your kitchen cabinets. You can have storage upgrade options as well.

Cons

Cabinet refacing may need finishing, such as varnishing and staining. You can change the design and style of your cabinets, but the layout stays the same. If you want to do it yourself, you may, but the process can be challenging. Veneering requires extended patience and craft skill. Should you want new doors, hardware, etc., additional costs might be incurred with other cabinet service companies.

The Process of Refacing

How does cabinet refacing work? First, allowing a craftsperson to do the job for you is a big plus. Meaning to say, someone who is skilled and experienced will surely do a great job in refacing your storage boxes. There’s no better service than that of a field expert!

In refacing your cabinets, cabinet doors and drawers are removed. Using a natural wood veneer or RTF (Rigid Thermofoil), the frontage or facade of your cabinet are covered properly. Then, wood veneers and or laminates are used to give the sides a new look. Although you can reuse your existing hardware一hinges, handles, etc., you can also use a new set of hardware if you wish to. After that, new doors and drawer fronts are affixed. Lastly, optional accessories may be added according to your preferences.
