traditional material for furniture it is wood. So wooden facades for the kitchen are quite a classic option. Another thing is that not every tree is suitable for this purpose, and it is necessary to take care of the wooden kitchen set more carefully.
Wood is afraid of moisture, and temperature changes do not benefit it, but wooden doors can always be washed, repaired or updated with your own hands - this is an extremely fertile material for processing.
Wooden kitchens
- C - smooth, milled, carved, deliberately roughly processed, of various configurations. The tree has a unique ratio of strength and flexibility, so that products from it never lose popularity. The production of facades does not require professional equipment- if we are not talking about bent doors, - and do it yourself. With the appropriate skill, you can also make carved facades on your own.
Preference is given to wood in the kitchen hard rock resistant to moisture - oak, beech, ash. However, other species are also used - pine, cherry. The main condition for this is the treatment with antiseptic compounds and coating. Carved and milled doors are varnished, painted with paint or enamel, even ones are sometimes pasted over with a layer of plastic. The covering allows to wash facades and protects wood from dampness.
Solid wood is an expensive material. Price kitchen set depends on the breed, but in any case much higher than the cost or chipboard.
- Veneer. To reduce the cost, kitchen sets can be made of MDF or chipboard and covered with veneer - cut natural wood. In appearance, it is impossible to distinguish such a facade from a facade made of solid wood, but unlike the latter, MDF doors react much less to dampness and temperature changes, do not warp or swell. On the other hand, veneer, being a natural wood, has its inherent properties - beauty, brightness and moisture resistance, so it is not allowed to wash veneer facades. The price of such a kitchen is much lower.
Veneered doors are much easier to do-it-yourself repairs or upgrades. For this, there is no need to make new facades, but it is enough to replace the veneer, and you can use a different pattern and color - there are plenty of ideas for this.
The main problem when cleaning the kitchen is not moisture, but grease. Not only do drops of hot oil get on the furniture during cooking - in addition, fat settles on all surfaces and in any cracks, in which dirt also accumulates perfectly. At the same time, heat cannot be applied to wood or veneer - the main argument in the fight against fat.
The second problem is dyes, artificial and natural. Wood has a porous structure and perfectly absorbs such substances. At the same time, the use of acids and alkalis capable of removing dyes is not allowed.
- Duty cleaning of kitchen facades should be done with a soft sponge or cloth dipped in warm water with some soapy water. It is recommended to wash with soap, since the latter is neutral, but it removes grease well due to surfactants. Besides soap solution allows you to wash and colored stains, if they are fresh enough. Particularly well should be washed internal non-ventilated parts - ends, carved elements.
Pictured is the cleaning process. Be sure to wipe the wood with a dry cloth after washing. Brief contact with water will not spoil the wood, but moisture that is not wiped off will be absorbed and the wood will begin to swell.
It is important to remember: in order to wash different wood, often different furniture means are needed. The types of wood are noticeably different, and if this is not taken into account, instead of washing the facade, you can change its color.
No matter how you take care of solid wood doors, over time they wear out, lose their attractiveness or get damaged. Do-it-yourself repair does not always mean replacing facades. To update the headset, there are enough ways, the price of which is much lower.
Preparation for restoration
Before making repairs, you need to prepare the facades. The procedure is almost the same for any type of restoration.
Facade painting
Of the ideas for restoration, this is the most popular and quite doable with your own hands. Most often, only varnish is used. Both methods are implemented in the same way.
Wood aging
The most fashionable ideas for restoration include aged facades (among them - and). It is not much more difficult to do than painting furniture, and the price is not higher.
The photo shows an example of a restoration in the Provence style. - Prepared doors are first processed sandpaper coarse grain or wire brush. Brushing makes the effect of antiquity more expressive, so the main thing here is not to overdo it.
- Then wipe the surface with fine sandpaper or grind. For polishing use an abrasive sponge or metal wool.
- If they don’t want to make the aging too bright, the doors are treated with a stain of a neutral color and varnished.
- If they want to “update” in this way to the state of an old tree, then the doors are covered with stain or dark paint, and then the layer is immediately wiped off rubber spatula or rags. The paint remains only in the recesses, emphasizing the structure of the wood.
- After drying, the doors are varnished and installed in place.
In the video, the aging of the tree is covered in more detail.
Decoupage
K no less interesting ideas for restoration includes decoupage. Moreover, as decoupage cards, you can use not only purchased options, but also your own photos, any pictures, dry plants and even pieces of fabric, the price of which will be noticeably lower.
The do-it-yourself technique is the same.
Veneer pasting
They do this in kitchens made of MDF and chipboard, since it is irrational to paste over solid wood with veneer. There are no difficulties in such restoration: the veneer is sold with already applied wrong side adhesive compound.
Door manufacturing
This is also a way to update the kitchen. The attractiveness of new facades depends entirely on the skill of the owner. With proper experience, you can also make carved ones with your own hands. If there is none, it is recommended to limit yourself to the paneled option.
In the photo - a kitchen with paneled doors. For their manufacture, a milling machine is required.
- First of all, you need to make a strapping - a frame of planks into which the panel is attached. To do this, parts are cut out of the boards, and then a groove is selected with a molding cutter, into which the panel will be inserted.
- Of more wide board cut out the panel.
- The workpiece is processed along the edge with a figurine cutter in order to obtain a narrow part of the panel.
- The door is assembled using furniture glue for fastening. Check for correct angles.
- After drying, the product is ground, polished if necessary and processed protective compounds- most often varnished.
The following video demonstrates how to update the headset by making wooden doors.
There are many ideas for the restoration of a wooden headset, and most of them are doable with your own hands. But it is worth remembering that in any case - both when staining and when aging, the tree needs special care.

External panels of kitchen cabinets and tables, cabinet doors and hinged shelves- everything that is the facade of the kitchen, you can do it yourself. Of course, homemade furniture in some ways inferior to the factory one, but it always looks original and is cheaper. To make facades for the kitchen with your own hands, you will need skillful hands, carpentry skills and related tools.
The most common materials for the manufacture of facades are:
At home, the easiest way to make a wooden facade. Wooden facades are of two types - solid and paneled. Solid products are made from solid pine, oak, alder, cherry and other species. For the manufacture of such a facade, a milling machine is not needed, a planer, circular saw or electric jigsaw is enough. wooden surfaces they strongly absorb odors, require careful care, but are not afraid of mechanical influences and serve for a long time.
A cheaper option is facades made of wood-based panels covered with veneer. Such material looks very attractive, has a low weight, is easy to process, so you can assemble the facade unusual shape. It should be borne in mind that wood-based panels quickly absorb water, swell and deteriorate, and thin veneer does not tolerate mechanical damage.
Plastic facades have a base made of chipboard, on which they are attached decorative panels made of durable plastic. It is impossible to make panels at home, therefore, ready-made ones are purchased for assembly, cut according to measurements and glued to the frame. Such products perfectly tolerate high humidity, temperature changes, mechanical stress and look great. Caring for them is quite simple: the surface is wiped with a damp cloth with a small amount of detergent.
Glass facades can be assembled by yourself, but this process is quite laborious and requires maximum accuracy and glass handling skills. Not everyone can cut and drill glass correctly, a firm hand is needed here, quality tools and a supply of material in case of damage. In addition, facades made of ordinary glass look completely different from factory models, which use impact-resistant glass with a relief surface.
Production of solid facades
solid wood facade
To create a kitchen facade from solid wood, you will need:
- edged pine boards with a section of 30x200 mm;
- jigsaw;
- jointer;
- self-tapping screws;
- drill;
- screwdriver;
- clamps;
- accessories;
- primer;
- varnish for wood;
- glue;
- plane;
- sandpaper.
First, they take measurements and draw up a drawing of kitchen furniture. According to the drawing, the number of front and side panels, drawers and shelves is calculated. The largest structures are made first in order to minimize the amount of waste. For marking, the boards are laid out on a flat wide table; transfer measurements from the drawing to the tree and mark the cut lines with a pencil.
Cutting parts is easiest with a circular saw, firmly fixing the boards on the table. All cuts must be straight, otherwise it will not work to connect the parts tightly. When all the elements for the facade are ready, the wood is polished with a special nozzle, and the ends are cleaned with sandpaper. Then holes are drilled for fasteners and the blanks are coated with an antiseptic primer.
Assembly begins: the ends of the blanks are covered with glue, the parts are connected, the corners are aligned, and then they are clamped with clamps and left to dry completely. Finally, hinges are attached to the doors, the rails are screwed with self-tapping screws to install the internal shelves, and the fittings are hung. After that, the finished facade is treated with varnish or oil impregnation with wax.
Facade from chipboard
If chipboard is used instead of solid wood, cutting is done in the same way, but before assembly, the sections of the parts are pasted over special tape from polyvinyl chloride. This process is called edging; the film protects the ends from moisture penetration, fraying, makes the appearance attractive and neat. In addition, the PVC edge prevents the evaporation of formaldehyde resins that are used to impregnate chipboard and are harmful to health.
In the process of work you will need:
- edge film roll;
- iron;
- a sheet of thick white paper;
- two clamps;
- guide rail;
- sharp knife.
A guide rail is attached to the desktop with the help of clamps. Instead of a rail, you can take any flat board, a piece of timber, the main thing is that it is convenient to support the workpiece from chipboard. They take a detail of the facade, lay it on the table and rest with one edge against the guide so that the side cut protrudes 5-7 cm above the edge of the table. The edge is measured along the length of the cut and cut off. The edge is applied to the surface, leaving overhangs about 5-10 mm wide on both sides of the cut, and then slightly fixed at one end by touching the iron.
Next, the edge is covered with a sheet of paper and the surface is heated with an iron with even, measured movements. If the film is ironed without paper, the material may overheat and warp. The iron is pressed firmly against the cut so that the edge sticks over the entire surface. After that, the workpiece is turned upside down, pressed against the countertop and held for several minutes. When the glue hardens, carefully cut off the protruding edges of the film with a sharp knife.
Excess glue is immediately wiped off with a clean cloth, the seams are polished with fine-grained sandpaper. In the same way, the ends of the remaining blanks are processed. Next, the elements are interconnected with glue and self-tapping screws, shelves are installed, hinges and locks are attached, and fittings are screwed.
The main elements of paneled facades are trim and panels. Strapping is called a frame of boards with longitudinal grooves; fillet is inner panel with curly cutters around the perimeter. When assembling, the panels are inserted into the grooves of the strapping and fixed with glue and self-tapping screws. This design avoids surface deformations during temperature fluctuations.
For the manufacture of panel doors on Kitchen Cabinet required:
Step 1. Calculations of workpiece parameters
Measure the opening of the cabinet vertically and horizontally, draw up a drawing. 3 mm are subtracted from the height and width of the opening - these are the dimensions of the door frame. The width of the uprights and horizontal bars depends on the width of the board. The parameters of the panel are calculated as follows: the total width of the crossbars is subtracted from the height of the frame and 2 cm is added; the width of the panel corresponds to the length of the crossbars. For one door, you should get 5 elements - 1 panel, 2 crossbars and 2 vertical racks.
Step 2. Cutting out the details
With the help of an electric jigsaw pine board cut into racks and crossbars according to the drawing. On a milling machine, a groove 6 mm wide and 10 mm deep is sawn in the side cut of each part. Then longitudinal spikes 10x6 mm are formed on the ends of the crossbars. On a sheet of plywood, make markings with a pencil and cut out a panel. The edges of each element are treated with sandpaper, the surface of the boards is polished.
Step 3. Assembly of the product
In grooves uprights insert the edges of the panel, put the bottom crossbar on the plywood and connect the spikes of the crossbar to the sidewalls. Fasten next upper crossbar. If all the elements fit evenly, without gaps and distortions, tightly enough, then everything is done correctly. Now the door is disassembled, the grooves, spikes and edges of the panel are smeared with glue, put everything together again and the joints are pressed tightly. Wipe off the adhesive immediately with a damp, clean cloth. For fixing it is recommended to use clamps, then the product is not deformed during the drying process.
Step 4. Finishing
When the glue dries, the joints are carefully sanded, and then the door is treated with an antiseptic composition. The next layer is paint or varnish, you can also use stain, special oil impregnation, self-adhesive film. Figured carving is often used as a decoration for the frame, but not everyone can do it without the appropriate skills. Plywood will be completely replaced by a thin board, glass, figured forged grating, colored polycarbonate or plastic panel.
Hinges and fittings are fixed after completion finishing works. First determine the location of the loops on the walls of the box; mark the fastener points on the facade frame and drill holes. Screw the hinges to the frame, insert the door into the box and fix the hinges on the cabinet wall. Check the progress of the hinges by closing and opening the door. In the closed state, there should be no gaps and irregularities around the perimeter of the facade. Other elements of the kitchen facade are performed in a similar way. With absence milling machine you should choose options with the least number of shelves and panels, since manually cutting grooves is quite difficult.

- A solid array is the most expensive type of material, because it must be without flaws, knots, and the desired width.
- Glued array (it is called furniture) - these are plates consisting of wooden bars glued and spliced together.
These materials can be combined. Often the headset body is made of chipboard, back wall from plywood or hardboard, and the doors from solid wood. A combination of solid wood frame and veneered panel is possible. Only expensive elite kitchens are produced entirely from the array. Veneered set of precious wood.
