Cabinet sheathing is the modification of the current cabinet, either by replacing parts of the cabinet or by covering the current parts of the cabinet with a veneer. With kitchen cabinets, this would provide a cost-effective alternative to replacing the entire cabinet. This method can transform the look of a kitchen and help make it look more modern, or even add a touch of class and personalization with a printed veneer that helps achieve a contemporary kitchen look. Adding veneers to your remodel can achieve the look of modern kitchen cabinets.

Process:

This process is a simple task that requires a knowledge of refurbishment, and also the skills to complete the task and achieve the desired effect.

The first step is to make sure the cabinets are clean and free of dirt and debris. It would be ideal to remove the doors, drawers and all hardware so that all parts can be cleaned with a good quality degreaser. This would be a good time to check the inside of the cabinets. Veneers are available in many types of backing that are glued, pre-glued or ironed on. Vinyl can be purchased in many colors and styles to complement any décor. Wood veneers can be stained to achieve the desired look for the cabinet, this would be the best option if you want the cabinet to look like a real wood cabinet. This method is also the most durable to use.

Another method that is becoming popular is the use of vinyl paper. These are vinyl rolls that come with a sticky backing and resemble wallpaper. They come in many different colors and designs and can be combined with any décor or style. Since they are sold on a roll, they are easier to apply. Laminates can be made from many different materials, such as plastic or metal, and even a wood composite. Since this is a less expensive method than veneers, it also does not last because it is not as durable.

A newer coating method is the use of Thermocoil, which is similar to both laminate and veneers. It comes with the adhesive already in place and can be purchased with different effects, such as a metallic effect. To make the cabinets look more modern you can also buy Thermocoils in a marble effect, this is available in newer and brighter colors, accentuating the kitchen furniture. These are also durable and will require much less maintenance than vinyl ones.

Profits:

There are many benefits to choosing a siding over replacing your cabinets. The biggest benefit would be the cost, you can save hundreds of dollars by repairing the cabinet. This is also a faster way to get a newer look in your home, it also keeps the kitchen usable during renovation, because the kitchen cabinet liner does not require removal of the entire cabinet. This can also save you from the stress and mess of a traditional remodel. This is a faster method of achieving a new look and making the kitchen look modern and up-to-date.
