Refacing Kitchen Cabinets for House Remodeling Project
After moving into a new house, there are several interior that you should considering to remodel and make sure that design are suitable with your personality. And the important thing is those rooms are working well as their function. Those room are bathroom and kitchen, on this post, I will tell you the importance of remodeling or remodeling the kitchen after moving into your new home.
The biggest and the basic thing in refacing your kitchen is remodeling the cabinets, We’re not saying you must gut and rebuild. Instead of spending, say, $5,000 on new cabinets, save some serious cash and reface the ones you have for under $1,000. It’s amazing what a little veneer and some new doors can do to brighten an aging space. Both are available through woodworking companies, and some manufactures offer peel-and-stick veneer to make the task simpler. Just be sure to measure twice and cut once, as a friend of ours likes to say. Work carefully, and your kitchen will look brand-new when you’re done.
Refacing cabinets is really just a matter of switching out the doors after covering all the exposed parts of the frame with veneer that matches the new finish. This technique works well with cabinets that have partial-overlay doors where the face frame is visible. But you can still reface cabinets with full-overlay doors, which have no face frame, and flush-inset doors, on which the face frame is on the same plane as the doors. In both cases, you have to be careful to order doors that match the size of the ones you’re replacing, rather than just measuring the cabinet openings and adding an inch to create an overlap.
The hardest part of making a refacing job look neat is trimming the veneer with a utility knife once it’s in place. It helps to work slowly, to keep your hand braced against the cabinets to steady it, and to always use a sharp blade. Once you’ve finished the frame and installed the doors, it will be hard to tell that you haven’t installed a whole new set of cabinets. via
