Refacing Your Kitchen Cabinets With Slab Doors

You won’t find a more inexpensive way to reface your existing kitchen cabinets than with slab doors.

Not only will you get a great return on your investment, but you’ll be able to easily install them on your own too.

You can add a touch of pizzazz to your kitchen remodel by attaching some slightly ornate hinges and handles. Just attach them to the door and to the cabinets and you’re all done.

Which Slab Door Construction Is The Best?

  • Garbage: Particle board doors with laminates or thermofoil coverings.
  • Good (Best Value): MDF (medium density fiberboard) panels
  • Better: Wood Veneer
  • Best: Solid wood frame with wood or plywood panels (This option would not actually be a slab.)

Matching The Color Of Existing Cabinets To New Doors

You have 3 choices here:

  • Repaint the doors and cabinets to match.
  • Hire a professional to match the new slab doors to the existing cabinets.
  • Make the doors and cabinets contrasting but coordinating colors.
The easiest and cheapest option is to make the doors a contrasting but coordinating color to the cabinet. It’s a budget kitchen remodeling idea that I really like, especially in country, Americana, and modern homes.

How To Easily  Upgrade Slab Doors For Pennies On The Dollar

When you order your new slab doors, opt for mdf or solid wood doors. You can very cheaply hire a carpenter to use a router to add a detail around the edge of the door. Or you can have him add some custom trim to the panel.

You’ll have “new” kitchen cabinets in less than a day for about $300.
