How To Reface Kitchen Cabinets?

The refacing of the cabinet has been increasingly popular in recent years as firms specializing in the refacing of the bathrooms and kitchen cabinets are explosive.

Sometimes cabinet rework is carried out in the context of a bigger refacing job in the bathrooms or the kitchen. Other times, house owners might decide but do not want to spend the cost of installing all-new cabinets, that the only item they want to be revitalized is the cabinets.

Can You Reface Cabinets by Yourself?

It is tempting to try to reface your cabinets due to the hefty expense. Veneering is a challenging and difficult process — not an easy one. You may reface your kitchen or bathroom cabinets with enough time and desire to learn a new technique. Consider a few considerations before you plunge into this project:

· Cost of Materials

· Cabinet Structure

Guide To Kitchen Cabinet Refacing

1. Purchase supplies, doors, and front panels

Order a supplier’s new cabinet doors and drawer fronts. Many online firms purchase the proper size, finishing, and wood species as well as the required. Every product comes in size to accommodate your cabinets.

2. Remove Cabinets

Take all of the cabinets such as dishes, bowls, knick-knacks, shelves, etc. Everything needs to go. Take out the paper cabinet. Box all stuff. Box all stuff.

3. Remove Cabinet Doors and Fronts

Remove all existing cabinet doors and drawer fronts with a cable-free drill. Tape the tubes up and tape on the doors and drawer faces respectively.

4. Remove pulls and grips of cabinet and drawer

Remove hardware from doors and drawer fronts with the cableless drill if the hardware is to be maintained. If not, at this stage, don’t worry.

5. Disposal

Dispose of obsolete doors, drawers, and equipment properly. Avoid as much as possible waste cabinet parts. Architectural wilderness yards typically acquire distinctive pieces of the structure. Or you may give products to a charity such as a habitat for the re-stores of mankind or some stores of goodwill.

6. Clean The surfaces with Sand Paper

Slightly sandy surfaces get the finished sandpaper veneer. For big areas like the sides of the cabinets, use an oscillating sander. Hold the sandpaper manually or use a sprayed sanding block for smaller areas.

7. Clean the Cabinets

Clean all surfaces with a tack cloth to be refaced. Remove all the cases (frames and everything) thoroughly with warm water mixed with TSP. TSP. Often the water is changed and fresh TSP added. Cool, clean water for rinsing. You are ready if you can rub a white towel on the surface, and the towel comes clean.

8. All surfaces of the outside cabinet

Put a wooden furnace on the boxes of the cabinet. Apply the furnace to exposed surfaces only; not furnish the inside of the cabinets. Edge banding on the slender front ends of the armchairs can be added. The sides may be covered with large veneer sheets.

9. Install Cabinet Doors and Drawers

Doors and cabinets are often new rather than refaced. It is difficult to reposition little items such as the drawer and door front and with time, irrespective of how well it is used, the fitting fails.

10. Add Cabinet and Drawer Hardware

Set up hardware for the cabinet. Except for the value and personal importance of ancient hardware, most cabinet refacing projects involve the installation of all-new hardware. You may have a new look at your kitchen at an affordable price.

Drill holes. Please insert the hardware fasteners in the holes. Fill the attachments by hand into the hardware. Track by pressing the screwdriver manually or via cable.
