What is Kitchen cabinet refacing?

This is when kitchen cabinets that are aged are revamped by adding a new coating such as veneer, thermo-foil or laminate. Most often this involves only changing the door fronts and drawer from but not the whole cabinets.  Compared to kitchen remodeling, this is much faster to complete.

When compared to buying new cabinets, refacing is way cheaper. Basically, this is probably the most convenient way, coupled with affordability and efficiency, of making your cabinets to look new.

Below I review some of the most common coating material used today  

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. Although it is cheaperbut it is most vulnerable to wear and tear. However, it works well in heat oil resistance and can seal heat perfectly.

The Thermofoil Material

This is the latest offering in cabinetry. It is basically a new wood-like refacing material.  Others call it RTF or Vinyl 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. This is used to give the cabinets a fine wood grain. 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.
