When it is time for a bathroom or kitchen renovation, the cabinets are one of the first things to consider. The cabinets of those rooms get plenty of daily use and need to handle a decent amount of damage or moisture. Homeowners have a couple of options for those cabinets. Two common cabinet renovation options include replacing the entire cabinet or refacing the cabinets.
Replacing and refacing cabinets both have a set of pros and cons. Each process is different and requires different training and skills.
Silvertouch Cabinets & Countertops Ltd. in Burnaby offers cabinet replacements and refacing services. Their expertly trained staff can help you determine the best approach, and are experienced with both types of renovations. But first, what’s the difference between cabinet refacing and replacement?

ToggleCabinet replacement
This is the larger of the two renovations and will require the most effort. Therefore, cabinet replacement is also the more costly option. Cabinet replacement will involve the removal of all cabinet structures. And often, this will require countertop replacements.
Sometimes, cabinet replacement is the necessary route. It might be required if there is significant damage to the frames and walls of the cabinets. That damage might be mould, warping, or large cracks. Cabinet replacement allows homeowners the most creative freedom out of the two methods. Silvertouch Cabinets & Countertops offer cabinet replacement services for custom projects and stock products.
Cabinet refacing
Cabinet refacing helps many homeowners save from replacing cabinets when they don’t need to be replaced. Instead, refacing is when only the door, or ‘face,’ is replaced, along with hardware like knobs or hinges. The bones of the structure, and the placement of cabinets, all stay the same. Otherwise, refacing may only require paint or stain.
Homeowners aren’t granted as much creative design freedom with this process. However, homeowners still receive all the paint colour choices, face material options, and hardware selections. Silvertouch has helped thousands of homeowners in Burnaby find the perfect way to reface cabinets to have them look as good as new. And in the process, the entire room will get an upgrade, whether the refaced cabinets are in a bathroom or kitchen.
