Are you considering upgrading your kitchen cabinets without the steep price tag of a complete overhaul? Cabinet refacing could be your ideal solution. But it’s crucial to carefully select a company that will perform the work efficiently and flawlessly. In Fairfield, Suisun City, Dixon, and beyond in Solano County, that company is N-Hance Wood Refinishing. We proudly offer premium, professional cabinet refacing that stands miles above veneers. Here’s why:
Understanding Veneers
Before we go into the crux of the matter, it’s important to define veneers. Manufactured from slim wood or melamine sheets—a plastic known as thermofoil—veneers are bonded to particle board and affixed to your cabinets.
Why Veneers Fall Short
Despite their initial appeal, veneers bring several drawbacks that can hamper your cabinet’s longevity and aesthetics. They are inherently fragile due to their delicate constitution, making them vulnerable to chipping and damage, particularly around corners and edges. This mars the appearance and impacts your kitchen’s overall functionality and charm.
In contrast, N-Hance Wood Refinishing of Solano County delivers a more durable solution. We reface your cabinets with new, robust hardwood doors and drawer fronts. This process endures high-traffic kitchen environments while maintaining a top-quality finish.
Moreover, veneers are susceptible to chipping and water damage. Moisture can seep between the veneer and the cabinet, causing warping and bubbling—issues that are complex to repair and can compromise the durability and looks of your cabinets.
Furthermore, veneers will likely crack due to exposure to varying elements and temperatures, such as hot water or grease. This discrepancy can lead to your cabinets’ compromised aesthetic and structural integrity.
And the problems don’t stop there. Even if the veneers appear unscathed on the surface, the underlying particle board is susceptible to damage. Since it is constructed from cheaper materials like wood shavings and glue, it’s porous and prone to a plethora of issues, such as sagging, cracks, and ripples. Even when attached to plywood, veneers can succumb to damage, particularly moisture-related. In the longevity contest, hardwood is undoubtedly the clear winner.
Veneers: A False Economy?
While the upfront cost of veneers might seem appealing, consider the long-term effects. Veneers tend to deteriorate over time, especially in bustling households with a lot of kitchen traffic. The result is a product that might end up looking worse than the original cabinets you wanted to improve.
Choosing a company like N-Hance Wood Refinishing of Solano County that uses solid hardwood and crafts cabinet doors and drawer fronts from scratch ensures you’re investing in a superior product. The timeless expression, “You get what you pay for,” couldn’t be more accurate for cabinet refacing. Moreover, you’re still pocketing substantial savings compared to a complete replacement.
