Frequently Asked Questions
How does the cabinet refacing process work?
Cabinet refacing typically involves the following steps:
- Removal: Cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and hardware are removed.
- Preparation: The cabinet boxes are cleaned, repaired, and sometimes modified.
- Refacing: New cabinet doors and drawer fronts are made with superior grade MDF and wrapped in some of the best 3D laminate available, utilizing German technology to ensure a consistent and long-lasting finish for years to come. The part that is refaced is the edge of the existing cabinet boxes with the matching vinyl colour of door choice.
- Hardware and Accessories: New soft closing hinges on all the doors are included, and additional accessories such as handles, garbage and recycle bins can be added as well.
- Finishing Touches: Optional features like crown molding or trim can be installed.
The result is a transformed kitchen or bathroom with a fraction of the cost and time compared to a full replacement.
