    bedroom vinyl wrap doors adhesive failed

    This sounds like an adhesive failure over time and nothing to due with temperature or moisture/dampness. Even though the doors are out of warranty it is worth contacting the manufacturer. A friend recently had the same issue, with their kitchen purchased and installed by a well known company...

    What sheet material for kitchen cabinets?

    I agree with Kevin, There will be a lot of material costs and an even longer build time! Carcasses don't have to be expensive, and when ordered with the doors, you know that everything is going to fit as it should and look spot on! Above all of this, there is also that reassured feeling that...

    Replacement of Cabinet Hinges

    Looks like your going to have to bite the bullet and prise these out of the holes. They will surely have some kind of plastic catches either side to dig into the carcass material for support. If the doors are chipboard, there will most likely be some damage sustained. You have to remember they...
