Upgrading your kitchen can be as easy as refacing your cabinets
Fred Sherwin
May 23, 2024

Is your kitchen looking old and tired and in need of a facelift? Why not consider changing your cabinet doors and drawer facings and replacing your countertops?

Futuric Kitchens, located at 830 Industrial Avenue, Unit 4, has been specializing in cabinet refacing since 1976.

Cabinet refacing is by far the most affordable way to upgrade your kitchen and you can save thousands of dollars in potential renovation costs in the process.

At Futuric, they have hundreds of different colours and finishes of cabinet doors and drawerfronts to choose from including acrylic, 3D laminates and melamine.

Cabinet refacing can bring a whole new look to your kitchen in very short order. When you reface your cabinets, you keep the existing structure while upgrading and replacing the cabinet doors, drawer fronts, and hardware. The front edges, ends and kick-plate are all covered in the same material to match your new doors.

With cabinet refacing, it is easy to coordinate a new floor or wall paint with the result being a beautiful new room for a much lower cost than a full remodel.

The first step is to visit the Futuric design center on Industrial Avenue and talk to one of their design specialists who can walk you through the pros and cons of different finishes and hardware, such as drawer slides, hinges and handles.

The next step – which can often be the most difficult – is choosing a colour. Once you select the finish and colour, the rest is up to the Futuric team of installers.

Refacing your cabinets and drawers can often be done in three or four days. In rare circumstances, if you are also installing a new countertop and new construction, they may need an extra day or two.

If you do decide to reface your cabinets, you can opt for a variety of add-ons such as a center island, new drawer boxes, crown molding or a light valance at the same time. Microwave shelves, wine racks and corner shelves can also be installed and made to match your new cabinet doors.

Should you want to take the next step from resurfacing to remodeling, Futuric has the expertise and know-how – from design to installation – to help make your dream a reality. Futuric was recently named a Platinum Winner in the Home, Builders and Contractors category in the 2023 Ottawa Community Votes competition.

To find out more about how Futuric can provide you with a kitchen cabinet make-over, visit www.futurickitchens.com or drop by their showroom at 830 Industrial Avenue Owner Michael Teggart is often there, especially on Saturdays, where he is more than happy to provide you with his expert advice.
