The Goals Of Cabinet Restyling

How To Evaluate Cabinets For Restyling

Not all cabinets are prospective candidates for doing restyling. You do not have to right away rule out older cabinets, since many of the older cabinet boxes really include more robust building than their younger factory-made counterparts. Older boxes really accept new doors and veneer well pretty frequently.

Good cabinets for restyling have these components:
Tough box construction made of plywood or MDF panels that are smooth and in good condition. New veneers require smooth solid surfaces in order to adhere correctly.
Face frames of solid wood. Excellent hardwood face frames will accept veneers and can sturdily anchor brand-new doors.
Internal hardware (drawer tracks, internal storage elements) that remain in good condition. If the drawers do not operate smoothly or if the cabinets are lacking in shelving or storage devices, the cost of restyling might not deserve it.

Kitchen Cabinet Restyling: Pros And Cons

Pros and Cons

Redesigning your kitchen provides you lots of options to consider. One of the huge choices is whether or to focus on cabinet restyling. Here are a few of the advantages and downsides:

Pros.
Preserves the layout of the kitchen. If the design of your current kitchen fulfills your requirements, then restyling your cabinets is ideal.
There are lots of style alternatives offered. Dozens of different veneer alternatives are available for both natural woods and laminates.
Conserves cash. Normally restyling will make your cabinets look for about half of what it would cost to purchase brand-new custom cabinets. Nevertheless, you do need to carefully think about the costs.
Restyling cabinets is a green renovation option. When you restyle your cabinets it keeps the cabinet boxes out of the garbage dump. This is an important advantage when you consider that various cabinet boxes are made out of MDF, which is a material which contains a harmful chemical called formaldehyde. Likewise, fewer trees need to be chopped down in order to develop new cabinet boxes.

Cons.
Wood veneers may require completing, consisting of extra steps for staining and varnishing.
No layout changes are possible. If your kitchen requires a footprint change, this is not the option for you, because restyling does not permit changing the design or including counter top space.
Box interiors do not change. If your existing cabinets are lacking for shelves or other storage functions, upgrading them to satisfy storage requirements may involve significant additional cost. Drab interiors will need to be painted.
DIY choice is challenging. While possible, veneering is an acquired skill that needs to be tackled just by patient, skilled DIYers. Setting up cabinet doors and drawer fronts, however, is fairly simple.
Costs can add up. By the time you include brand-new doors, drawer, fronts, hinges and hardware, and interior storage accessories, restyling may not save you much over the cost of setting up brand-new off-the-shelf stock cabinets.

Recommendation

This is most likely to be a good and cost effective option for anybody that is seeking to remodel their kitchen with otherwise structurally sound cabinets. It also happens to be an excellent choice for those that have a kitchen layout that works with little to no changes needed. Nevertheless, in circumstances where the cabinets have structural concerns or where the homeowner desires more internal storage, getting brand new cabinets is most likely the much better option.
