Q: Are thermofoil cabinets worth the cost?

• <div><p>Thermofoil cabinets are an affordable option for anyone who is trying to revamp their home on a budget. They are durable, come in many styles, and give your home a whole new look without breaking the bank. However, if you are looking for a long lifespan out of your cabinets or want to add resale value to your home, then you should consider higher-quality cabinets instead.</p></div>

Q: Can you add cabinets on top of existing ones?

• <div><p>If your cabinets don&rsquo;t reach the ceiling, you can extend them higher, adding visual interest, privacy, and storage space to your kitchen. Depending on the height of your ceiling, you may want to extend the structure of the cabinets and install longer doors to make each individual cabinet taller, or you could add additional cabinets above the existing ones. Either option is cheaper and easier than installing entirely new cabinets.</p></div>

Q: What is the most common material for cabinet bases?

• <div><p>Solid wood is the most common material for cabinet bases. It&rsquo;s a popular choice because it&rsquo;s durable and will hold up over time. Oak, maple, cherry, hickory, and pine are all types of solid wood that can be used to build cabinet bases. Other options include plywood, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-mdf.htm">medium-density fiberboard</a>, and other types of manufactured lumber, but they need to be sealed properly to avoid swelling, separating, and delamination from moisture.</p></div>

Q: How are kitchen cabinets attached to the wall?

• <div><p>Kitchen cabinets can hold a whopping 500 pounds, but that is only possible if you attach them correctly. They must be anchored securely with long screws driven straight into the wall studs for solid support. Depending on your cabinets and the installer, some upper cabinets use specialized hanging systems or brackets for extra reinforcement, ensuring they stay put no matter how full they get. </p></div>

Q: How are kitchen wall cabinets attached?

• <div><p>There are three primary ways to attach upper kitchen cabinets to a wall, and installers may use more than one method at a time. The most common method is to drive screws through the back of the cabinets and into studs in the wall behind. Sometimes cabinets are glued to the wall with strong adhesive. Often a combination of screws and adhesive is desirable. The last way is by hanging the cabinets on hardware brackets that attach to the wall before cabinet installation.</p></div>
