Find the Right Kitchen Cabinet Doors
Due to their function in the home, kitchen cabinet doors are more damaged than any other cabinet. Fat on layers of fat is just one form of damage. Stains, heat warping, water warping, and wood splitting are a few others. Eventually you’ll want to replace your kitchen cabinet doors.
The damage is usually not enough to require replacement of the entire cabinet system. Replacing the doors can often be enough. If the cabinets are damaged beyond that, they can usually be fixed with a few simple resurfacing techniques. However, a kitchen cabinet door may require completely new hardware as part of the cladding.
Wood kitchen cabinet doors are the most attractive styles, but these days it’s not just limited to wood doors. Still, there are many types of wood that are used in kitchen cabinet door replacement. But if money is a concern, wood veneers cost less and look just as good. They are extremely easy to maintain. The only downside is that the particleboard used to make them can easily warp if the atmosphere isn’t ideal. This means that the humidity levels must be at levels that will not damage the wood.
Or you can choose to glue some laminate to the face of your old doors. Formica is the most well-known type of laminate. It is a thin sheet of synthetic plastic that provides a smooth, shiny surface for your cabinets. It is stronger than wood veneer, but it is more expensive. It’s also just as easy to clean as veneer, usually only requiring a damp cloth to clean.
Easily the most expensive way to clad your kitchen cabinet doors is to use stainless steel. It is a clear sign of elegance and requires professional installation as it means a complete remodel of your kitchen cabinets. It’s a durable surface that will outlast wood, veneer or laminate and is surprisingly easy to clean.
