Cabinet Refacing On Aesthetics and Functionality

By Joyce R Ross

People mostly choose to have cabinet refacing over total cabinet replacement or do-it-yourself refinishing of existing kitchen vanities and furniture. It's not a surprise anymore! The other one promises high-quality result in exchange of a big amount of money, while the other one entices us with very affordable rate yet unsure and relative result - it depends on your performance, really. With that being said, cabinet refacing is the best option one can choose to give kitchens a little lift in terms of physical and aesthetic value. But do you know that there's something else cabinet refacing offers? Aside from beautification of what is seen on the outside. It also extends its services to provide great functionality of such furniture.

Screws

Not only do cabinet refacing installers replace worn out coverings of kitchen vanities but they also take into consideration how these newly beautified structures work for the homeowners' convenience. Installers make sure they are able to adjust cabinet screws - either they tighten or loosen them up - for better functionality. Imagine newly furnished cabinets that have shaky locks that you can hear upon closing and opening cabinet doors! I mean, what's that all about? A lame sign of an earthquake? That's a major turn-off. Keeping the screws intact will make your time in the kitchen distraction-proof! Now you can start preparing your favorite dish!

Latches

One of the things that severely causes damage to kitchen cabinets is the intrusion of unwanted parasites inside the vanities. I am particularly referring to insects such as cockroaches, and sometimes rodents, too. By keeping the latches in perfect working condition, one can avoid the mentioned scenarios above. It is very unhygienic - it is only right to prevent them from happening than to wait for them to happen before finding a solution. Health is wealth, they say. Prevention is better than cure, they say. Thank God cabinet refacers also do something about the latches. It's always good to make sure the locks and latches work for your own personal benefit.

Bumpers

Are you tired of hearing the banging of cabinet and drawer doors in the kitchen during a special occasion? Hearing it mixed with the sound of jingling kitchen utensils from the living room would almost make you think your family hired a band for the party or something. But lo and behold! When you check the "musicians" yourself, you'll see nothing but the crazy and busy movements in the kitchen like a performance going on and on in front of your very eyes. The least you could do is to see the movements yet eliminate the sound at the same time. With the use of door bumpers attached by refacers, you'll instantly have your problem solved.

Slides

Slides are mostly installed to kitchen drawers. Be very wary about the smoothness of pulling out and pushing in your drawers. If you feel like you need to exert some effort when you open and close your drawers, then there must really be a problem. Cabinet refacers find a way to fix and lubricate slides, so you need not worry.
