You can choose from hundreds of cabinetry styles, from country and traditional, through shaker and classical, to contemporary and modern.
On top of this you can then add all the new features and functionality of new cabinets.
However, in general there are three basic refacing finish options to choose from: RTF (rigid thermofoils), plastic laminates, and wood.
Rigid ThermofoilsThis is the least expensive option. These look like wood and are hard wearing and easy to clean, as well as being less costly. They are applied on top of MDF (medium-density fiberboard) using a special adhesive, by heat and high pressure in a vacuum. The finished result is very hardwearing and looks just like wood or a painted surface. RTF is also very flexible, so can be formed to any shape or style of door panel. Plastic Laminates
These are not as hard wearing and are a little more expensive. Also, they can't be molded as easily as RTF, so only plain door styles are available. However, the advantage of laminates is that they come in more colors. Wood
The most expensive option, costing up to 25% more than laminates, but they have the advantage of having the most styles available (wood can be cut and routed into any shape), as well as looking great. They can come in the natural state, stained or painted (or ready for paint). They are also low maintenance, the polyurethane finishes these days mean no more waxing, just a quick dusting every now and again. You can also have the option of having UV inhibitors applied to prevent fading over time.
