kitchen Cabinet Refacing Defined

This is a way of making old kitchen cabinets to look new by adding a new coating such as laminate, veneer or thermofoil. Most often this involves only changing the door fronts and drawer from but not the whole cabinets.  Compared to kitchen remodeling, this is much faster to complete.

This is probably the cheapest way to own new cabinets as compared to buying new ones. So in essence, it is the most efficient, affordable and hassle-free way to boost your kitchen’s look and feel.

Let us briefly look at some of the different coating that is used  

The Use Of Laminate

Laminate is primarily made of plastic film or thin sheet formed from resins such as polyethylene and polypropylene. This is arguably the cheapest material to usebut it is not as resistant in wear and tear. However, it works well in heat oil resistance and can seal heat perfectly.

Thermo-Foil

This is the latest offering in cabinetry. It is basically a new wood-like refacing material.  Sometimes referred to as Vinyl or RTF it comes as quite a thick vinyl film, which is bonded tightly on a warp-resistant engineered wood core.

Wood veneer

This is a thin slice of wood that is cut from a log with a slicing, peeling, or sawing machine. If you are looking for a nice grain then this is the right material to consider. There are many varieties of this feature. This means you will need to consult with an expert to help you find the best for you kitchen.
