  • The unfinished cabinet door is a fantastic
    alternative for individuals who want to save
    money, have happy and productive doors, or simply
    freshen things up a bit. The article discusses
    the various types of unfinished cabinet doors,
    what they are best used for and how they can be
    put together.
  •  
  • What are the various types of unfinished
    cabinet doors?
  •  
  • On the market, there are a variety of
    unfinished cabinet doors to choose from. The most
    popular type is the Shaker style door, which
    features a simple, clean design that can be
    easily finished with paint or stain. Two
    additional popular options are raised panels and
    glass panel doors. Regardless of the design, you
    decide on, sand the door down before starting
    your finishing process to guarantee a smooth
    surface.

Why do we need to finish them?
  • Cabinet doors are one of the most important
    aspects of any kitchen. They not only provide a
    finished look to the room, but they also protect
    the food and dishes inside from dust and dirt.
    Unfinished cabinet doors, on the other hand,
    maybe rather unattractive. They usually use
    substandard materials and are poorly sealed,
    which allows moisture and filth to get inside.
    Because of this, even though your cabinets are
    clean, they may seem filthy and unkempt.
  • Finishing your Unfinished Wood Drawer Fronts
    is a great way to give your kitchen a new look
    without having to replace them entirely. There
    are a few different ways to finish cabinet doors,
    so you can choose the method that best suits your
    needs.
  • This will give them a fresh, new look and
    can be done relatively cheaply. You can also
    stain or varnish the mdf doors for a more natural
    look. If you want something really unique, you
    could even add some decals or other
    embellishments.

How To Paint MDF Cabinets
  • 1.Dry-Fit This is when you put the doors on your
    cabinet and make sure they fit correctly and that
    the holes line up. Youll want to dry-fit the
    doors before you put them on the cabinet. This
    will make sure that they match up correctly and
    that you dont have any discrepancies in the
    doors once theyre on the cabinet. If you notice
    any problems, it will be easier to fix them after
    you have the doors on the cabinet.
  • 2.Sanding The next step in painting MDF
    cabinets is to sand the cabinets. You want to
    sand them down to the bare wood. If you dont
    sand them down, the paint wont adhere to the
    MDF.
  • 3.Priming To prime your MDF cabinets, you want
    to use an oil-based primer. Oil-based primers
    wont require sanding and they arent harmful to
    your cabinets.

  • 4.Cabinet Paint Choose a color of paint that
    matches the cabinets. If you are painting a
    neutral color like white, choose white paint that
    has a slight tint to it. If the color of your
    cabinets is off, it can make your kitchen look
    really odd.
  • 5.Hardware Make sure you have all of the
    hardware on the cabinets before you paint them.
    This includes knobs, pulls, and handles. You can
    choose to paint over hardware or paint the
    hardware black before you paint. Youll want to
    do this so it matches when it comes time to clean
    the cabinets.
  • 6.Door Finishes You can choose to paint your
    cabinet doors or leave them unfinished. If you
    choose to leave the doors unfinished, youll want
    to use wood conditioner to make them smooth.

How do you know if your cabinet doors are
unfinished?
  •  
  • One way to tell if your cabinet doors are
    unfinished is to look at the surface of the door.
    If the door has been primed, it will have a
    slightly rougher surface. The surface of
    unfinished cabinet doors is generally rough.

How to keep the unfinished cabinet from seeming
shabby
  • If you're anything like me, you begin a
    project with the best of intentions. But then
    life happens and you're left with an unfinished
    cabinet door (or two...or three). But don't
    despair! You can preserve your unfinished cabinet
    from looking shabby by doing a few things.
  • Installing appealing hardware is one option.
    This will help to dress up the unfinished door
    and make it look more intentional. Another way is
    to add a coat of paint or stain. This will assist
    to keep moisture out of the door while also
    giving it a polished appearance.
  • There are various companies that specialize
    in creating custom doors if you're truly battling
    to finish your cabinet door. Whatever option you
    choose, don't let an unfinished cabinet door ruin
    your kitchen's aesthetics. With a little bit of
    effort, you can make sure that your unfinished
    cabinet door is still beautiful and functional.

A crucial turning point is selecting a finish for
your cabinets.
  • There are a few things to take into consideration
    when choosing a finish for your cabinet doors.
    The type of finish you select will be determined
    by the style you want to achieve as well as the
    amount of durability you want. Here are a few
    different types of finishes to choose from
  • Paint Paint is a great option if you want to
    achieve a certain color or look.
  • Stain Stain allows the natural grain of the wood
    to show through and can give your cabinets a
    rich, warm look.
  • Varnish Varnish protects the wood and can extend
    the life of your cabinets.
  • Laminate is a long-lasting, easy-to-clean
    material that comes in a wide range of colors and
    designs.

Problems that can occur and how to avoid them
  • One of the most common problems when finishing
    unpainted cabinet doors is that they warp. This
    is usually caused by either not enough support
    being used when the door is being assembled, or
    by using too much moisture when applying the
    finish. Warped doors can be very difficult to
    fix, so it's important to avoid this problem from
    the start.
  • Another common problem is that the finish can
    start to chip and flake off over time. This is
    frequently caused by choosing a finish that is
    inconsistent with the cabinet door material, or
    by failing to properly condition the surface
    prior to application of the finish. To avoid this
    problem, be sure to use a compatible finish and
    follow all instructions carefully when applying
    it.
