Refacing Kitchen Cabinets
Are you thinking of a quick and affordable way to remodel your kitchen with beautiful results? The most striking feature of a beautiful kitchen is cabinetry, and as a result the first consideration when planning a kitchen remodeling project. The only drawback to overhauling the cabinetry in your kitchen is that it can be very expensive. If you love your floor and countertops, but your kitchen cabinets look worn out then refacing kitchen cabinets could be the answer to revitalizing your kitchen back into that sparkling gem.
Refacing kitchen cabinets is a fairly simple process, and the main consideration before choosing to start a cabinet refacing project is determining if the old cabinets to be refaced are sturdy and functional on the inside. The cabinet structure and shelving will remain unchanged while the existing door and drawer facing is removed and resurfaced, or replaced with new material. And, with refacing kitchen cabinets you don’t have to sacrifice any style because material choices can range from solid wood and laminate, to veneers, and more.
In most cases a kitchen remodeling will not include any layout change which makes the process of refacing kitchen cabinets a fairly simple one that could be completed in three easy steps. First- all of the doors and drawers are removed from the kitchen cabinets. Second – the outside of the cabinets are covered over with a quarter inch veneer. Third – all new matching doors and drawers are installed with new hardware and hinges.
Cabinet styles and materials are widely available when choosing to reface your kitchen, and you will find as many options with refacing kitchen cabinets as you would if you choose to purchase brand new kitchen cabinets. You can select from a variety of door styles that include shaker, summit roman, summit cathedral, and color options such as maple, oak or just a traditional white. There is really no limit, and finding a style that meets your taste should be readily available with a little research.
Molding and fillers can add the perfect finishing touch to your newly refaced cabinets, and are also widely available. You can select from crown molding, rope molding, dentil molding, cove molding, shoe molding and corner molding to accentuate the look of your newly refaced kitchen.
So, if you’re budget doesn’t allow for a complete kitchen cabinet renovation and you still want to add some flare consider refacing kitchen cabinets to transform the kitchen.
