Refacing Options for Your Old Cabinets
When remodeling your kitchen, an alternative
to replacing your cabinets entirely, is to reface them.
With refacing cabinets, you can achieve a beautiful new
kitchen while spending half the amount of money. You will
literally be giving your cabinets a face-lift!
In the refacing process, existing doors,
drawer fronts and hardware are removed and replaced with
new ones. For cabinet doors, a wide variety of veneers and
laminates are available to cover old surfaces. Other noticeable
surfaces such as cabinet ends and frames are finished to
match. Cabinet interiors are either refinished or repainted.
Cabinet refacing is available in a variety of styles, materials
and colors.
Neither the kitchen layout nor the amount
of space available is affected by refaced cabinets. Doors,
drawer fronts, and hardware are refaced and then put right
back into their previous place, leaving your current arrangement
untouched. A beautiful new look will be created, but you
will still be standing in the same kitchen. If you are looking
for a more drastic change, consider installing a few new
cabinets to alter the look a bit more. In addition, new
pull out or swivel shelves can also be installed to enhance
the appearance and feel.
Not only does refacing cabinets improve
the overall look of your kitchen, but it also greatly improves
the durability of your cabinets. It helps protect and lengthen
the life of your existing cabinetry, adding overall worth
to your home.
