Cabinet Refacing Supplies

There is such a wide assortment of kitchen cabinet refacing materials and styles for today's consumer, it pays to spend time considering all the components you'll need to successfully complete a new look or kitchen cabinet repair project. From economy to high-roller style, you'll find just the right combination of cabinet doors, veneers, fillers, drawer fronts and boxes, mouldings, valences, hinges, pulls, and other hardware to suit your budget.

Overwhelmed? Ask for help from a contractor or expert at your home improvement store to go over cabinet refacing supplies in detail. Ask to see a price-range in lines of doors, frames or mullion sets, raised panel or laminate doors. When choosing colors to complete your décor, consider hues that come with matching stain pens for touch-up work. They can blot out blemishes and stains.

More Than Simple Kitchen Cabinet Repairs

If you're shopping for cabinet refacing supplies, be sure to consider moulding (wood or rigid thermofoil), border valances to complete the overall appearance, end panels, and drawer fronts. You're not limited in hardware choices either, so shop for attractive pulls, handles, and hinges that work with your scheme. You'll find concealed hinges that fortify doors on Lazy Susan inserts. Insist that your supplier include all screws or nails that come with the hardware!

If you're attempting the make-over yourself, you'll need to order applicators for self-adhesive veneers, putty sticks to cover nail holes, handle templates with pre-measured holes and drill bits. Your job will go more smoothly if you use a brad-nailer for attaching end panels and the drawer fronts. And, of course, do not consider doing any kitchen cabinet repair if you don't own a reliable straight edge.
