How do you paint particle board cabinets without sanding?

• <div><p>If you prefer not to sand your particle board cabinets prior to painting, you can use mineral spirits and a rough sponge to add some grit to your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-mdf.htm">medium-density fiberboard cabinets</a> so that the paint will still stick. Keep in mind that using 120-grit sandpaper is still the preferred method for preparing your particle board cabinets for a new coat of paint.</p></div>

Q: What is the space between cabinets and ceiling called?

• <div><p>There is no official name for an open gap between the top of the cabinets and the ceiling. However, when that area is covered with a boxy shape to hide wires or pipes, this is known as a soffit. In some cases, this area may also be hidden with a bulkhead, a lower ceiling area that fits just above the cabinets. </p></div>

Q: How do I know if I have melamine cabinets?

• <div><p>You can identify melamine cabinets by their appearance and some of their distinct qualities. While melamine cabinets can be designed to replicate the appearance of natural wood cabinets, melamine will have a more uniform grain pattern whereas natural wood will have different grain patterns.</p></div>

Q: Should cabinets be gloss or satin?

• <div><p>The short answer in the debate between gloss vs. stain for cabinets is it depends on the look you want to achieve. Paint with a satin finish is more low maintenance and can work for a wide variety of kitchen or bathroom styles. A gloss finish is much shinier and shows more flaws, so it should be applied by a professional painter instead of a DIY project. </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>

The workers that were sent use English as a second language. This made it difficult for me to make sure they completed the work on the proposal. It would have been helpful if they had sent a supervisor on this project.
