What Are the Different Ways to Perform Cabinet Refinishing?
Most people when they are remodeling their kitchen are shocked when they find out how much new cabinetry will cost them. Which is why cabinet refinishing is sometimes the best option. Read on to find out more!
Painting wooden cabinets is an excellent way to quickly give a kitchen a facelift. This is probably the easiest method to date. All you have to do is sand down the cabinets so they have an even surface and prep them for painting by priming them, and then paint them with the color of your choice. For homeowners looking to redecorate their kitchen on the cheap, this is a good method.
Refacing cabinets is another kind of cabinet refinishing for people that want to put new doors on their cabinets but not wanting to pay for their cabinets to be entirely replaced. By using new doors and matching the veneer to the visible parts of the cabinets, the entire kitchen is given a fresh new look. This can be especially useful in cases where the original cabinets are not made from wood and can be changed using a new stain or coat of paint.
This is a method which can give a modern look to older kitchens. Using a new stain is another great way to keep the natural look of wood in a kitchen. However, please note, that this type of refinishing does not work on cabinets which are already treated with a darker stain.
The color of the wood can only be changed when the color is lighter, and not the other way round. There are various methods and products today that can be used to stain cabinets, however, most of them do include early steps of cleaning and hand-sanding. Once these are completed, there will be one more step that needs to be done before applying the stain to cabinets.
