Defining Refacing Kitchen Cabinets

This is a way of making old kitchen cabinets to look new by adding a new coating such as laminate, veneer or thermofoil. In most occasion you may just have to replace the drawer fronts and doors only.  Ideally the process is easier and faster than a complete kitchen remodel.

This is probably the cheapest way to own new cabinets as compared to buying new ones. All in all then, this is probably the most convenient way, coupled with affordability and efficiency, of making your cabinets to look new.

Types of coating used  

Using Laminate

This coating material is made up of some thin sheet made from resins. This includes those that are made of polypropylene and you can also get some made from plastic film. One thing about it is that it is cheapbut it is not as strong when it comes to wear and tear. Having said that, it can really withstand heating oil and does seal heat really well.

Defining Thermofoil

If you are looking for something close to wood and new in the market then this should be your best choice.  It has many names e.g. RTF or Vinyl and its thick vinyl film is bonded enduringly to a wood core that is warp-resistant.

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. The best thing to do it talk to an expert who can help you with all the available options.
