When your cabinet is beginning to age you feel that the time has come
to remodel your kitchen. One of the first thing you think of doing while trying
to reface the cabinet is to replace kitchen cabinet doors as these are the ones that must have borne the maximum
abuse. You must have spotted that already and when the other portions too have
started showing signs of wear and tear you must have sounded the alarm.
You should reface the cabinet once you have noticed the sag in the
places where you have done with plywood or fiber board. Perhaps during the time
when you had purchased your new cabinet you had gone for the cheapest type
available in the market. You have also due to paucity of funds bought one that
was just fit enough for your kitchen with the minimum of storage capacity and
hardware.
You now have a great opportunity in your hands especially when you have
some money saved which you could utilize. You think that your five years old
cabinet has not much wear and tear and therefore you need to spend little money
for removing some portions, but that you need to replace kitchen cabinet doors at the earliest.
You can do it yourself but we suggest that since you have little
experience you better hire an experienced carpenter to help you do the job.
Again, you need to redesign the cabinet as the old one was made in a hurry and
you don’t have all the facilities that your family actually needs. Thus, you
ought to choose a suitable design and one that can give your whole kitchen an
entirely new appearance.
You ought to purchase hard wood for it can only gives the durability to
your cabinet. You should go to the lumber and discuss with the owner as to
which is the best. You ought to make sure that it goes with the kitchen decor
well. If you increase the storage capacity with new additional cabinets or
racks then you would need additional hardware too.
You might again choose an antique model or might opt for a more
conventional model. If you choose the antique model which would be better
suited for your purpose as your cabinet would have some of the ornamental
fittings already in it. You can choose the more modern style if you think that
by replacing some of the cabinet surface you have made it look like one without
the use of frames. You can then replace
kitchen cabinet doors making it look similar to the ones you have added
while increasing the storage capacity.
