Do you have that old kitchen cabinet that you love so much you just can’t put yourself to replacing it? Yeah, it could be worn out, paint must have faded ages ago, or maybe it’s starting to peel off slowly, but you love and want to save it. Fear not, we’ll discuss in this article about cabinet refacing and if saving that cabinet will be worth all the effort.
First, if you’re planning to have a different kitchen layout that what you already have, cabinet refacing is not for you. However, if you are doing a simple kitchen remodeling that doesn’t include any changes in the existing layout, you should consider at cabinet refacing. It can potentially save you up to half the cost of getting new custom cabinets. In addition, it will also cost you less in terms of labor and time spent on the project. Cabinet refacing only takes less than a week to complete in most cases.
There are many methods on how to reface cabinets, which is just gluing veneer or laminate on the existing cabinet as most contractors do. We, however, go beyond that and what we’ll discuss is how we do cabinet refacing- the right way.
The problem with what most contractors does as mentioned above is that when the adhesive joining the veneer or laminate fades, the veneer/ laminate is as good as done. You won’t be able to just glue it back again.
How We Do Cabinet Refacing
The best thing about refacing is that you already have the cabinet’s carcass. In most cases, the carcass of a cabinet is durable and can be reused. So, the first ting we’ll do is to replace your cabinet’s existing doors and drawers. We have a multitude of design selections for you to choose. We’ll replace all accessories and hardware- locks, hinges, handles- with new ones as well. What separates us from most contractors is through our special double lamination process. No, we don’t just glue over a new laminate on your cabinet. The first step on our lamination process is bonding a thin wood substrate on existing surfaces that are visible. Afterwards, all exterior surfaces are covered with your chosen type of laminate or natural wood finish.
Our method ensures that you will have a stronger, more durable cabinet because of our double lamination process. The hardware we’ll provide will also be of top quality that can perfectly handle the weight of the doors and drawers along with its loads.
