can pressed wood/paper covered cabinets be painted?
Nearly 20 year old kitchen cabinets in a double-wide. The edges are rough from steam,etc around the stove. The "paper" covering them is shiny except where it is worn and discolored. HELP!
Hi Debbie, this question came up last week, and there were some good answers here, especially Woodbridge's explanation. Sounds like exactly what you are talking about:
My article that Steve Mentioned above may be an option, but the decision to to do so should also include the condition of the hardware. If all of the slides hinges etc are also of poor quality due to age and wear and tear. replacing them, and refacing will normally put the cost higher that some entry level ready made cabinets.
This lamination failure and swollen corner issue is one of the primary drawbacks to entry
