Restoration of a wooden cabinet

Restoration of a wooden cabinet

Solid wood is an excellent material used for crafting expensive, high-end furniture. However, in mass production, various wood substitutes are commonly used, which often mimic solid wood cabinets. This is due to the fact that even cabinets made from the cheapest wood are significantly more expensive than their counterparts made from wood by-products. Special recognition goes to cabinets covered with natural veneer. These types of finishes successfully imitate wooden cabinets, conveying the full color and texture of the wood grain. Veneer also has an additional function: protection. Veneered cabinets possess nearly all the advantages of solid wood cabinets. However, they too are subject to the effects of time and unfavorable environmental factors and require special care, and in case of damage, they need professional intervention. One of the most common defects of such a cabinet is peeling or chipped veneer. Veneer often chips or peels off on the inner panel. Since the inner panel is not visible, owners of such furniture often continue using the cabinet with damaged veneer.

However, such a defect requires immediate restoration of the cabinet. It should be done as quickly as possible, as the unpleasant consequences of such neglect will not only result in a loss of aesthetic appeal.

The internal components of cabinet panels are often made from inexpensive boards based on formaldehyde, which, as is well known, is far from an eco-friendly material. As long as the veneer remains intact, this doesn't pose any problems. However, even the smallest damage can lead to the release of toxic formaldehyde. That's why it's crucial to repair such defects as quickly as possible. For high-quality restoration that will reliably restore the cabinet to its original appearance and condition, it's best to use the services of a professional restorer. With the necessary skills, tools, and materials, the specialist can quickly and efficiently repair the cabinet.
