Refacing is a kitchen cabinet makeover. All visible parts of the cabinet are updated. Doors and drawer fronts are removed and replaced, so are hinges and hardware.

Reusing your cabinet boxes also eliminates the materials needed to produce new ones and the emissions that go along with building and transporting them. Additionally, Front + Center doesn’t use any VOCs in our engineered Fronts + Refacing Supplies.

A high quality, double-refined, 3/4″ engineered core provides a stable, consistent substrate. In our Seamless Styles – Shaker, Raised, and Flat – the profile detail is first routed into the core, then 3D Laminate (3DL) material is pressed onto the face and over the sides, creating a seamless bond between the face and sides of the Front. Our Miter Shaker and Miter Step Shaker doors are constructed the same way traditional wood doors are made, with the added benefit of using highly durable and consistent engineered materials. The result is a uniform appearance with true grain orientation. This means the grain flows with the stiles and rails of each component.
