Give Your Kitchen Projects a Fresh New Look
Kitchen renovations are one of the most common upgrades in residential projects. But full remodels are expensive, messy, and time consuming. With vinyl film, homeowners can save 30-50% of their renovation budget. For professional installers, wrapping kitchen cabinets is a fast, low disruption solution that adds instant value to any space and a service clients are actively searching for.
The kitchen is often the most used and most visible area in a home. Homeowners want it to look clean, modern, and welcoming, especially if they’re preparing to sell or rent. Wrapping cabinets with architectural vinyl is:
- Much cheaper than replacing or repainting
- Quicker to install (1 to 2 days on average)
- Dust free and odorless
- Durable and easy to clean
This makes it a go-to service for clients who want a big transformation without the hassle of traditional renovations.
Common Kitchen Surfaces You Can Wrap
- MDF or particleboard cabinet faces
- Laminate surfaces
- Melamine
- Wood veneer and painted wood
- Backsplashes and toe kicks
Proper surface prep is key. Clean thoroughly, remove grease, and lightly sand glossy surfaces to ensure the vinyl adheres properly.
For porous substrates like drywall, MDF, melamine, plaster, plastic, and metal sheets, using Bodaq Primer is recommended to ensure strong, long-lasting adhesion. It’s a water-based sealer that should be diluted in equal parts with water.
You can find more details about the primer and its application here.
Preparing the surface properly helps achieve a professional, durable finish, especially important in high-traffic areas like kitchens.
