Unfinished
kitchen cabinets are a very easy and cheap
way to remodel an older kitchen. Whether it is only changing
and reworking unfinished
cabinets doors or the
entire kitchen, they offer great advantages and leave
you with enough freedom to redesign the final design
of your kitchen surface. Before you decide whether to
get finished or unfinished pieces to replace your existing
kitchen cabinets parts, let us have a quick overview
on the pros and cons of unfinished kitchen cabinets and
doors.
Advantages of unfinished kitchen cabinets
The
biggest advantage any kind of unfinished kitchen cabinets
have is its adaptability. You just decide the style
(framed or frameless) and the wood or other surface
you want to start with and later on you give the doors
and the cabinets its final finish. Talking about the
finish, this does not only mean color and type of paint
or stain you might use. It also means that unfinished
kitchen cabinets and doors allow you to freely choose
which hardware you want to use. Whether it is simple
kitchen cabinet
knobs or handles or even a long handle
bar across the door or drawer top, it can be mounted
easily as unfinished kitchen cabinets and doors do not
yet have any holes for hardware drilled.
Same
advantage when looking at the hinges you want to use.
Again as most unfinished parts do not have any holes
for the hinges done yet, you are free to choose what
kind of kitchen cabinets hinges you use.
Drawbacks
of unfinished kitchen cabinets and doors
Any
kind of unfinished workpiece whether it is the kitchen
cabinets, kitchen doors or the drawers requires additional
work. Depending on the supplier of your unfinished
kitchen cabinet parts you will get additional instruction
and tips on how the surface and the
kitchen cabinet hardware parts are properly finished. However
a certain workload is needed. Additionally as better
you woodworking skills are the better your finished kitchen
cabinets will look like.
Finally, given the flexibility in terms of surface and
hardware applied using unfinished kitchen cabinets and
doors is certainly a very interesting and inexpensive option
to reface an entire kitchen.
