Refacing Versus Refinishing Kitchen Cabinets
Our customers often ask us, what is the difference between refacing and refinishing?
Refinishing means that you keep all components of your existing cabinetry and simply change the colour or finish. This is done through hand sanding or chemically stripping the existing finish from the wood, then applying new paint or stain. (Note: refinishing only works on wood cabinets.)
Refacing means that you keep your cabinet boxes, but replace all your cabinet doors and drawer fronts with new ones. This method allows you to change the door style, as well as it is colour. You can also replace cabinet side panels, face frames and mouldings so that everything matches.
