Glazing Kitchen Cabinets


What are the options for enhancing the effect of a well maintainedkitchen cabinet? You may ask this question while noting that the cabinet ofyours which is having not much wear and tear has suddenly become a lot dullerin appearance. You feel cheated as the new one which you have bought some fiveto six years back has been giving good performance yet not neat in looks. Whatyou are seeing is the generally low color effect of the paint due to constantuse. The only solution for this is to apply colorant for your glazing kitchen cabinets.

Would glazing in reality bring out the real effect of the paint? Youcan bet on that although there are numerous ways a colorant is added and thismakes it suitable to some form of wood and not so effective to other forms. Infact, for stained wood the net effect of glazing produces an antique look. Youmust apply the stain properly and this is available in oil base as well asacrylic and some others.

You are new to glazing and are not sure as to whether you can make it alone.You can then take the help of a painter who can do the job with ease. You oughtto apply the glaze liberally in the front and some colorant are slow to takeeffect and therefore gives you ample time to redo it so that it becomes thickenough. You must apply it into each little slot and angles as well surely intothe grains and corners. If you are allergic to paints and chemicals then youmust stay away while somebody else does the glazing kitchen cabinets for you.

Glazing can give that extra great looks to your well painted cabinetand therefore keeps it in a new condition all the time. In fact, a wellmaintained cabinet could be done with some glazing every two to three years tokeep it look neat in appearance.

You need to take out the doors, hinges and other hardware while you aredoing the glazing work on your cabinet. You must make sure that the glazing isevenly spread out as in some cases it darkens in some areas while it appearslighter in other places.
