Protecting Your Cabinets from Moisture

Tips for Protecting Your Kitchen Cabinets from Moisture

Kitchen cabinets are an important part of every kitchen. They are one of the main things that people consider when remodeling kitchens. Cabinets are expensive and you expect them to last a long time. During their lifetime, cabinets deal with a lot that can damage them, one of which is moisture. Since cabinets are made from wood, moisture can be very damaging to them. Kitchens are always being exposed to moisture because of the kitchen sink, wet dishes, open windows, and more. Inevitably, your kitchen cabinets get exposed to moisture because of this. Here are some tips on how to protect your cabinets from the dangers of moisture:

Waterproof Staining: Wood cabinets should be stained every few years to protect the wood from moisture and damage. We recommend that you use waterproof staining on your cabinets to protect them from moisture.

Waterproof Shelf Liner: You cannot always keep water out of your cabinets, especially after you wash the dishes. The water on dishes will drip down onto the shelving that holds them. Place waterproof shelf liners on all your shelves to protect them from water and to make cleanup easy.

Check Your Plumbing Often: Your kitchen sink drain is susceptible to leaks. When it leaks, moisture will affect your cabinets. Sometimes leaks can go undetected for weeks. We recommend that you check your sink’s plumbing often to catch any leaks quickly and minimize exposure to moisture.

Seal Gaps: Gaps around your sink are all potential areas where moisture can get into your cabinets. Caulk and seal any gaps around your sink and countertops to protect your cabinets.

May 17, 2024

Are you thinking of starting some home remodeling projects this year? Is a kitchen remodel or installing new cabinetry on your to-do list? Even in 2024, the kitchen remains the heart of the home. Making sure this room is functional and aesthetically pleasing is still important to most homeowners. From bold color choices that will help make a statement to mixed materials that add visual interest, uncover the trends that will help redefine your kitchen aesthetics and inspire you to create the kitchen of your dreams. If you are thinking about purchasing custom kitchen cabinets, consider the following trends: Bold Colors- Oak and other natural and neutral wood colors have dominated kitchen designs. In recent years, bold and daring color choices have been infused into kitchens including rich blues, emerald greens, fiery reds, and moody blacks. These eye-catching colors help create a focal point as well as add personality into the kitchen. Homeowners are choosing bold colors for their cabinets, as well as their kitchen islands. Pantries- Pantries are becoming much more than just storage spaces, but extensions of the kitchen and integrated into the kitchen’s design. You may see open shelving, glass doors, pull our drawers, and more in kitchens where homeowners are keeping essential ingredients and small kitchen appliances. High Cabinets- Cabinets that extend to the ceiling are making a bold statement this year. This trend helps to maximize vertical space, making the most of the available space in the kitchen. Here you can store items that are not regularly used such as specialty cookware or holiday dishes. Mixed Materials- Mixing different materials in kitchen cabinets is a trend that is set to take center stage in 2024. Homeowners are experimenting with the dynamic look created by combining wood, metal, and glass. This trend not only adds visual interest, but it creates a space that reflects your individual style.
