Cabinet and Door Refacing

For centuries, veneer has been glued to a base or substrate in many different applications. This veneer finish enhances and beautifies the surface seen by the eye, giving the appearance that the entire piece is built from the more valuable wood seen on the surface. Although the basic process remains the same today, cabinet facings are still applied using the same basic principles. What has changed over time is the availability and variety of the species of wood, the materials with which veneer are applied, the sizes of veneer pieces, and matching of grains available.

For cabinet refacing professionals who demand the latest of technologies, quality, reliability and variety, FormWood produces veneer faces, wood veneer laminates, and hardwood veneer panels particularly suited to your refacing needs. FormWood's PSA (Pressure Sensitive Adhesive) is designed specifically for the purpose of refacing and quickly refreshes the look of cabinets and doors anywhere they can be installed.

What is cabinet refacing?

Refacing a kitchen cabinet is a cost-effective way to update the look of your kitchen. By making use of the original structure of the cabinets, refacing allows for a low-cost remodel. FormWood sells many products that are popular among cabinet re-facers including our veneer sheets backed with pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA). Simply peel off the protective backing, line up the veneer sheet, and apply pressure to form a permanent bond between the veneer sheet and the cabinet’s surface. The cabinet can then be stained or finished to the desired appearance. Our paper and wood backed veneer sheets can also be applied using an array of glues to reface cabinets. Our team of veneer experts is here to help you determine the correct product for the job.
