Cabinet Refacing Facts
Brought To You By:
IPE Custom Cabinets & Refacing
The cabinet refacing process involves leaving the cabinet front frames and structural boxes in place, resurfacing them and installing new custom made doors and drawer fronts. Cabinet refacing is a low cost alternative to a full scale kitchen re-modeling.
It is ideal for homeowners who are happy with their basic kitchen layout but feel the kitchen is out of date in style or color, or just want a new easier to maintain look. It is also idea for those looking to sell a house who wish to update their kitchen at low investment cost in order to market their home for a quicker and more profitable sale.
Since Cabinet Refacing can be installed without replacing your existing counter top or flooring, required in most remodeling projects, your savings are even greater. The cabinet refacing market in the U.S. is growing by leaps and bounds as the alternative of choice for a kitchen renovation project.
Cabinet Refacing and the Environment
Reface your kitchen and save money, time and the environment. Refacing (recycling your existing cabinets) is a sensible option. Unless major layout changes are going to be made with your kitchen cabinets, refacing makes both ecological and economic sense. New cabinet boxes can be installed where needed, using the same custom made doors being installed on the refaced cabinets. How much waste is involved with tearing out your old cabinets, and disposing of them? On a weight basis, about 1/3 of the cabinet is in the doors. This means refacing cuts environmental waste by 2/3. But that's not all. Since new cabinet boxes don't have the be manufactured when you reface your kitchen, you are saving the trees and pollution that go into making up the replacement cabinet boxes.
