Cabinet Refacing explained

Jul 4

The kitchen is a significant room in a home. According to the United States Department of Labor, Statistics Americans spend approximately 700 to 1,000 hours in their kitchen each year. Kitchen renovations are on the rise. Cabinet refacing offers a cost-effective, efficient and economical way to transform your kitchen. You can tackle the project on your own, or you can hire a cabinet refacing company to assist you. Here are the steps required to complete the refacing.

Timing

The first step of cabinet refacing is choosing the right timing. The timing depends on how big the job is, how long it takes for the dust to settle, and your personal schedule. Many people don't have the time or ability to spend a lot of time on renovations. It is essential to select a suitable time for the refacing, according to your personal schedule.

Prep for Wood Refacing

Wood is messy. Cabinet refacing companies are highly recommended for this task. Before beginning the cabinet refacing project, make sure your cabinets have been cleaned thoroughly. It's a good idea not to use any hardware when installing the cabinet doors. Also, it is a good idea to use an industrial mask in order to prevent dust from reaching your lungs.

Get rid of all the dirt and sand

In a refacing project, cleaning and sanding is essential. It's easier to make an error when working on a contaminated surface. Remember that dust is always around. In your kitchen, dust can collect in many places. Wiping down the cabinets will make the job easier. Before you start, make sure the cabinets are clean.

Use the Wood

Apply the new wooden panels after cleaning and wiping down the cabinets. This can be done by using a unique adhesive, nails, screws, or a combination of both. Some cabinet refacing companies use wood putty to fix cracks and other damage. If this is your situation, make sure to apply the panel correctly. Another option is to use wood glue to make uneven joints smoother.
