Replacement of fittings in the process of restoration of facades

New mechanisms in the kitchen will make furniture more convenient and modern. Smooth closing of the doors will prolong the service life of the frames, and silent mechanisms will allow the hostess to feel comfortable in the kitchen.

Types and methods of restoration of kitchen facades

Pasting with films is a budget option for facades made of chipboard, frame facades made of PVC, the coating of which has been peeled or peeled off. Smooth facades can be pasted at home without the involvement of professionals, but frame facades with milling, and even more so with carved strapping and panels it is better to glue in the workshops for the restoration of furniture.

Lacquering is a good option for renovation of furniture, if minor restoration of facades is needed.

Partial or complete replacement of facades
