MDF film: how it is glued at the factory and how to glue it yourself. The film on the kitchen facades has peeled off - what to do? Facade with PVC film peeled off

And the PVC film is stretched, the most crucial and, perhaps, the most intriguing moment of all comes. technological process production of facades from MDF. However, before you turn on the press, you should study several important indicators.

Characteristics of PVC film for crimping MDF facades.

· PVC film thickness . Varies from 0.2 to 0.55 mm. The maximum possible and minimum required heating temperature of the film surface depends on it. If overheated, the polyvinyl chloride base will melt, which will lead to the formation of melted holes and a violation of the vacuum seal. On some types of films, due to such “frying”, glossy spots are formed, which negatively affects the appearance finished product from MDF. At low heating temperatures, the film will not achieve its elasticity properties necessary for successfully fitting the bends of parts and the reaction of the adhesive. Repeated heating of the film to the required temperature reduces its quality.

· PVC film color. It also affects temperature indicators during the manufacturing process of MDF facades. Dark shrink films acquire their technological properties at temperatures from 45 to 60° C. Light and especially glossy films can heat up to 120-135° C.

· Adhesive for PVC film . Here you should take into account the fact that some adhesive compositions are activated only after reaching a certain temperature.

· The temperature in the room and the temperature of the membrane-vacuum press itself. In the hot season, as a rule, the heating process occurs faster, so you should be careful about overheating the film.

Having studied all the above factors and made the appropriate conclusions, you can proceed directly to the process of tightening MDF facades PVC film.

After turning on the heating, the PVC film in the machine begins to “move.” At this moment, you should be wary of the formation of large folds, which may later remain on the MDF facades. However, if you see a crease at the beginning of the heating stage, do not panic. The fact is that the first sign of “readiness” of the film is its stretching. At a certain temperature, all its folds are aligned, and it is pulled “into a string” above the surface of the press table. At this point you need to run Vacuum pump.

The second sign that the vacuum can be turned on is the appearance of a slight haze above the surface of the film. This means that the maximum possible temperature has been reached and it is time to begin the tightening process. At this time, you need to slightly open the vacuum tap and turn off the heating for 2-3 seconds, and then turn it on again. The PVC film will begin to settle on the horizontal surfaces of the MDF facades. In places where the film comes into contact with the surface of the parts, it begins to cool, so there is almost no risk of overheating here.

After the PVC film lies tightly on the surface of the MDF facade parts and begins to bend around their sides, the vacuum taps should be opened a little more.

The formation of a vacuum also has the properties of absorbing heat. Therefore, heating should continue until the PVC facing film covers all the curves of the pattern on the surface of the MDF facade and its side parts, slightly tucked under the lower edge. Then you can turn off the heat, but the vacuum pump must run a little more, in case the press is leaking air somewhere.

It is worth remembering that PVC films have a maximum permissible temperatures heating, exceeding which leads to melting and burnout. You should be wary of bringing the process to such temperatures. In cases where Maximum temperature heating has been achieved, but the facades are not completely covered, or folds have appeared somewhere, it is possible to repeat the cladding process again.

To do this, let the machine cool down, open the taps, turn off the vacuum, and reheat the MDF facade backfill. The non-adhesive areas of the film will stretch from the heat, after which it will be possible to turn on the vacuum again and continue the pressing process.

Also, do not forget that glue for PVC film tends to react only at a certain temperature. Therefore, if the film shrinkage was successful, it is not a fact that adhesive composition has been activated, and it is necessary, without turning off the vacuum, to warm up the MDF facades in PVC film to the required temperature within 2-3 minutes.

If it has lost its former attractive appearance, it’s time to update it. If purchase new kitchen is not suitable for everyone, then replacing the film on the facades will be the best option for each owner. The use of vinyl film is the most budget option, which allows you to return the original look to the kitchen facade or completely change it. You can replace the film yourself, but it is better to entrust this task to a professional, because very often in the process there can be difficulties that simply cannot be dealt with without special skills.

The main advantage of vinyl film is that it can perfectly imitate natural wood, stone, leather and others natural materials. Just a couple of rolls of this film is enough and the kitchen will completely change its appearance. Such a replacement of film on facades will not break your pocket, so it is affordable option for every homeowner.

Regardless of whether the work will be carried out independently or this task will be entrusted to a professional, in any case the following list of materials will be required:

  • Vinyl film;
  • Thick fabric for smoothing the film over the surface of the facade. A plastic spatula will also work;
  • Alcohol or solvent;
  • Roulette;
  • Stationery knife;
  • Ruler and pencil.

In order for the film replacement to bring the desired effect, the facade must first be removed and placed on a hard surface. It is not recommended to work while suspended, as it is terribly inconvenient and there is a high risk of spoiling both expectations and the work itself. vinyl film. In order to complete the task in accordance with all the rules, you need to know well the main stages of the procedure:

  • The door is removed and all existing fittings are unscrewed. If the fittings, frankly speaking, are outdated or worn out, then it is better to replace them with new ones. Thus, it will truly be renewed beyond recognition;
  • Before gluing the film to the facade, it is necessary to thoroughly treat its surface with water and soda. Afterwards everything needs to be wiped dry. This procedure is required to degrease the surface;
  • Cutting the vinyl film itself is very simple. Regardless of the manufacturer, back side The film is offered with markings in centimeters. Simply measure the cabinet and cut out pieces of film of the required size;
  • The film is placed face up on the façade. The protective paper is peeled off from the top of the film, and the film itself is applied to the facade and leveled using rubber spatula, soft fabric or just hands. If air bubbles appear that cannot be removed with a spatula, you can pierce them with a pin and straighten the film again;
  • If any segment turns out uneven, it is better to immediately remove it and replace it with a new one. If you do not do this right away, the film will become very firmly attached to the facade, and there is nothing you can do except remove it with a utility knife.

The easiest way to work is with a single-color film; you need to make sure that it does not cover the grooves of wood or marble, depending on what material the facade is made of.

If the updated facade does not look very impressive, then it can be diluted vinyl stickers or patterned inserts. It all depends only on personal imagination and the materials used.

Rules for the operation of facades with PVC film

  • If it is necessary to replace the film on facades, then it is best to take a closer look at expensive and quality options who can normally tolerate high humidity in the kitchen and exposure to high temperatures;
  • Various solvents, alkalis and other acids will not have the best effect on the condition of the film;
  • Can not use lighting, which will be installed to the facade with film at a distance of less than 10 centimeters. This is especially true when the lamp uses a conventional incandescent lamp. This will cause the film to begin to fade, wrinkle and burn through;
  • Facades with film, which are installed near ovens, must be recessed by 3 or more centimeters relative to a gas or electric stove.

If there are also a few points that are under no circumstances allowed with the use of facades and other furniture that is covered with vinyl film:

  • Facades should not be installed next to a source of high heat, or in places where there is a direct hit sun rays. Otherwise, the film may change its color, which will lead not only to the loss of the attractive appearance of the entire product, but also to peeling of the film;
  • It has been laboratory proven that it is prohibited to use facades and other furniture with glued vinyl film at temperatures below 20 degrees and above 60 degrees, relative to an air humidity of 80%. Otherwise, significant damage to the material occurs;
  • After replacing the film on the facade, you need to wait several hours so that it is well fixed on the surface. After this, the facade can be returned to its place. Otherwise, cracking of the film may occur;
  • It is necessary to exclude, as far as possible, moisture from entering the façade. If this happens, try to immediately remove the moisture using a soft cloth.

Facade painting

It is worth noting that it is possible to restore a damaged kitchen facade not only with the help of vinyl film, although its presence will serve additional protection. A very popular option for updating the kitchen facade is painting it. It is worth noting that painting is useful in cases where the facade has retained its normal condition. If there are large cracks or chips, then ordinary painting will not get rid of it. To paint the facade, you must perform the following steps:

  • The façade is removed;
  • All fittings and hinges are unscrewed;
  • The surface is well cleaned and degreased;
  • The facade is cleaned using abrasive sandpaper;
  • The surface of the facade is wiped with solvent;
  • The facade is painted directly. It's best to paint first hard to reach places. A thin brush will be useful for this. It is most convenient to use a paint roller on a flat surface. The paint must be applied in several layers. It is worth noting that it is best to cover the facade new paint can be done using a car aerosol;
  • After painting is completed, you can use a stencil to create interesting patterns, which will only increase the aesthetic component of the updated facade. Afterwards you can return the façade to its place.

Separately, it is worth noting that after the paint has dried, you can stick the already familiar vinyl film onto the facade. You can use either a transparent film or one with an existing tint, which, if chosen correctly, will create a very beautiful effect. The film must be applied only after several hours of painting. Before this, the surface of the facade must be thoroughly degreased again so that the film can adhere well to the surface of the facade.

Furniture manufacturers are constantly asking themselves the question: what kind of furniture should they make so that people will buy it? On the other hand, the consumer is looking for a manufacturer who will make custom-made furniture that suits his tastes. As a rule, the cost, appearance and attractiveness of cabinet furniture is determined by its façade. Therefore, both the manufacturer and the buyer, in order to reach a compromise, must answer the main question - which façade would be better suited for this piece of furniture.

According to marketing research, the following types of furniture facades have won the greatest popularity among domestic consumers (among the indicators of the range of proposals):

1. Laminated chipboard, including postforming and softforming;

2. Facades made of MDF, including those wrapped in PVC film and painted;

3. Facades made of solid wood and veneer;

4. Frame facades made of MDF;

6. Other types of facades.

To determine which facade is better, you should draw an analogy with their cost indicators, or rather, try to identify the relationship between the market price of a furniture facade and its popularity. The rating of price groups for furniture facades is as follows (in descending order of cost):

The biggest advantage of painted MDF facades is the diverse range of colors of the paints and varnishes used, which can be selected independently by tinting. In addition, paint and varnish manufacturers offer a large selection of special coating effects: metallic, chameleon, pearl, marble, space, mother-of-pearl and much more. On the other hand, the positive characteristics of MDF board (strength, environmental friendliness, moisture resistance) significantly influence the position in the quality rating of furniture facades, and the increased heat resistance of the paint layer raises it one step higher.

However, virtually everything technological stages The manufacture of painted MDF facades is based on manual labor (priming, sanding, painting, patination, polishing), which significantly affects the cost of the final product and practically puts it on the same price level as products made from solid natural wood.

Solid wood facades

Furniture facades made of solid wood are most often approved by respectable people, fans of antiques and natural materials. Solid wood furniture, made in a classic style, combines not only aristocratic nobility and grace, but also sensual warmth, weightlessness and harmony of home comfort.

In addition, the facades are made of solid wood natural wood are the most environmentally friendly, will always remain in fashion and proper care will last a long time. As they age, they are easy to restore. And solid wood facades age beautifully in their own way.

For the manufacture of facades, such valuable types of wood as beech, oak, alder, pine, acacia are used... Often, to reduce the cost of the product and increase the resistance to deformation of the facade structure, veneer and chipboard (or MDF) covered with veneer, including birch and cherry, are used , chestnut, walnut, maple, as well as exotic woods: wenge, teak, zebrawood, makore, anegri and others.

The technology for manufacturing furniture facades from solid wood includes a long process of drying wood, as well as sawing, milling, grinding and assembling large quantities small parts façade frames and panels, covering paint and varnish materials. It is used at almost all stages of production manual labor, that’s why the price of solid wood furniture facades is so high.

Despite its advantages, wooden furniture has its disadvantages: increased sensitivity to humidity, temperature, sunlight, special requirements for the care of facades, the ability to absorb odors, moisture and change color over time.

Frame facades made of MDF profiles

MDF frame facades are a structure made from a special MDF profile with glass inserted inside (including mirrors), MDF board, laminated chipboard or plastic. The profile can be straight or with decorative milling, usually lined with PVC film (less often melamine paper) with a textured pattern to resemble wood, metal, etc. A special advantage of framed facades is the ability to combine various contrasting colors of the MDF profile and internal filling.

Even a small furniture enterprise can purchase inexpensive equipment and master the production of frame facades. In addition, it becomes possible to move away from standard sizes of furniture fronts and work with individual orders.

The disadvantages of MDF frame facades are, first of all, open seam joints, which allow moisture to pass through when washed. Film covered PVC profile can't stand it high temperatures. The prefabricated structure may become loose and sag over time.

Frame facades made of aluminum profiles

Understanding the questions of what types of furniture facades there are and which facade is better, one cannot help but touch upon the topic of frame facades made of aluminum profile, which are an aluminum frame with fillings made of various materials inserted into it: MDF, glass, plastic and others. Best use facades is the production of furniture in modern Art Nouveau or hi-tech style. Facades filled with various types of glass look especially original. decorative films, stained glass, engraved, textured or mirrored. Most often, aluminum profile facades are used in combination with other furniture facades, designed in the same style.

Basic information about film facades


Finally, I’ll tell you what film facades are, what their advantages and disadvantages are.

Film facades are a popular solution for making furniture mainly for kitchens and bathrooms.

The scope of application of furniture made from such material is not accidental, since MDF board covered with PVC film is resistant to excess humidity. That is, if there is no hood installed in the kitchen, and there is no effective ventilation system in the bathroom, the furniture you buy will last for many years.

Can the same be said about furniture covered with self-adhesive vinyl? Unfortunately, self-clad facades are not as reliable as factory-made counterparts.

Self-adhesive, no matter how well it is glued, cannot guarantee the absolute tightness of the coating. Factory facades do not have open gluing areas, and therefore humid air cannot have any effect on MDF.

Comparing whether film or enamel or plastic is better for MDF, I note that all coatings have certain disadvantages that need to be taken into account when choosing furniture. But film facades have one drawback - the impossibility of restoration if the film is damaged. However, the price of these facades is acceptable and, if necessary, they can be completely updated.

Conclusion

This time you learned about how film facades are made in industrial conditions and how to make something similar to a factory facade at home. Still have any questions? Ask them in the comments to what you read, I will answer all of them. By the way, I recommend watching the video in this article.

In order to hide scratches and defects received during the use of furniture or to renew the surfaces of facades and panels, a special film is used. It is durable, has an attractive appearance and rich color palette. To figure out how to glue self-adhesive film to furniture, you need to consider in detail its features and application methods.

Furniture film helps to visually refresh furniture panels that have become boring over time in a short time. With the help of simple manipulations, the procedure can be done with your own hands in a few hours. To do this, you only need the material itself and sharp scissors or a construction knife.

Today, the range of this raw material occupies a leading position among other methods of furniture restoration. With the help of the material you can realize any design solutions into life, without spending a lot of money.

The popularity of using self-adhesive is due to its following advantages:

  • the material is supplied in rolls, making it easy to cut rectangles and squares of the required dimensions;
  • the film helps protect furniture from future scratches and chips, and if they do appear, replacing the material will not be difficult;
  • self-adhesive film will help save the family budget: you won’t have to purchase a new set if it is possible to update old products;
  • no additional tools are required for work;
  • good for kitchen furniture, protecting it from grease, dirt and other damage;
  • the material is easy to clean, self-adhesive compounds can be processed detergents, gels.

The raw material consists of several layers: front, adhesive, protective. Each of them performs its own function. The very first layer - the front layer - is made of different options materials:

  • polymer film - represented by a self-adhesive type of vinyl, which perfectly covers surfaces. She looks very beautiful on furniture, and her decorative abilities are invaluable. In addition to vinyl, PVC or polyester is used;
  • foil - used for lining less used pieces of furniture, most suitable for wall cabinets;
  • paper - paper-based material can be glued to the ends of the shelves, since such a film does not withstand constant mechanical stress.

Decorative film can imitate a large number of surfaces: leather, wood, natural stone, ceramics, tiles and fabric. Thanks to this, it has a wide range of applications not only in updating facades, but also in ordinary decor.

Depending on the material of manufacture, self-adhesive film is divided into:

  • single-layer roll products - produced on the basis of polymers, additives in the form of plasticizers, which give the raw material strength: all components are mixed together and flat rolls are formed by extrusion;
  • two-layer models - in this case, two canvases are used in production: the base and the surface, such material technical specifications worse than its single-layer counterpart.

Anyone can glue furniture on their own; no special skills are required. Before you start working, choose the surface structure of the film; it can be glossy, matte, transparent, mirror and holographic. Each type is used in individual cases, so it is important to determine in advance the purpose of the raw material.

Choosing a film based on the type of room

In order for pasting of furniture with self-adhesive film to be successful and to serve for many years in the future, you need not only to purchase quality material, but take into account the type of room in which the surface will be used. Raw materials for the kitchen and bedroom have their own characteristics, so when choosing, use the following tips:

  • film for furniture intended for the bedroom or living room should not only have an attractive appearance, but also fit into the interior. If previously the fronts of cabinets and tables had specific color, it is not at all necessary to repeat it - you can purchase rolled products of a different shade, but do not forget about compatibility with upholstered furniture and finishing. For well-lit rooms, a matte film is ideal - its structure will be clearly visible when sunlight. When choosing a self-adhesive base for the bedroom, pay attention to products that imitate natural materials. Such options would be appropriate for decorating the facades of cabinets and chests of drawers;
  • To make the kitchen set look like new, it can also be covered with vinyl material. For of this premises The characteristics of the strength of raw materials and the ability to constantly withstand mechanical stress are very important. Gloss would look good here, but remember that the surface requires careful care. Many designers recommend using self-adhesive compounds with photo prints and bright images. The pattern of citrus fruits will suit the kitchen space;
  • You can also update the furniture in the bathroom or toilet using this raw material. Thanks to its properties of not absorbing moisture, the pasted surface will not only look beautiful, but also be practical. For the fronts of cabinets and cabinets in the bathroom, use options that are consistent with color scheme facing tiles floors and walls;
  • To freshen up the children's room, glue on material depicting your favorite cartoon characters. Children always enjoy new things, and such a surprise will delight them. An assortment of films with fairy-tale characters will help your child make right choice. Raw materials are used to process wardrobes, bedside tables and even tables for doing homework. If your plans do not include a complete replacement of the appearance of the furniture, you can stop at using individual patterns for decoration.

To update the outside of glass cabinets and display cases, treat the furniture with a transparent self-adhesive film. This material often has a small printed pattern that will help diversify glass facades.

When choosing a material, think carefully future design. Some varieties of holographic or glossy films can have the opposite effect and create a cluttered feeling in the room.

Application technology

Before sticking the self-adhesive film on the furniture, you need to prepare the tools for the job. These include:

  • scissors and a sharp utility or construction knife
  • soft fabric to smooth out wrinkles;
  • roller for removing air from the material;
  • solvent;
  • primer mixture;
  • medium-dispersion sanding paper.

In the process of pasting furniture with film, it is first necessary to prepare the surface of the products by treating them with a special composition. For this, a primer is used, which improves the adhesion of the two planes.

Preparation proceeds as follows:

  • tighten all hinges and fasteners of the furniture product. Also check that all screws are screwed in completely; if this is not done, small protrusions will be visible on the glued surface, which will significantly affect the aesthetics of the appearance;
  • examine the furniture for cracks and chips. If there are any, they must be removed using putty. Gently apply the mixture to the defect areas and fill the voids. After drying, treat the areas sandpaper- this will give greater adhesion to the surface being glued;
  • The next step will be degreasing the plane. Before gluing the film to furniture, soak the cloth in solvent and go through all the corners and hard-to-reach areas furniture board, which will be subject to processing by the material.

When the surface preparation is completed, we proceed directly to the gluing process itself. To avoid shortcomings, follow the proposed algorithm of actions, which can also be found in the video in the article:

  • take the necessary measurements of the furniture to cut the required pieces of material;
  • using scissors, cut from the roll exactly as much as is necessary for gluing the surface;
  • before gluing the furniture panel, remove the material by 10 cm from the protective layer so that the adhesive base is exposed;
  • attach a piece of raw material to the furniture with an adhesive layer and gradually, smoothing the film with a roller, remove the remaining material from the protection;
  • It is necessary to smooth the plane from the edge that is already glued to the area that you are going to glue. In this way, it will be possible to avoid the formation of folds and wrinkles on the surface being pasted.

There is another method of treating furniture with film, which is based on the use of a wet solution of water and soap. Here, gluing the raw materials correctly will not be difficult. In this case, the protective layer is completely removed, the material is placed on the floor, front side down. The solution is applied to the adhesive layer using a sprayer, after which the film is applied to the surface. It is appropriate to stick the material using this method when there are large areas of finishing, when it is ideal to achieve smooth surface difficult.

Common mistakes

Sometimes, even after finishing the furniture, bubbles, folds and other defects may appear that were made during work. Correcting defects is not possible in most cases, so the film must be removed and the procedure will have to be repeated again. When doing the work yourself, you can make the following mistakes:

  • Before gluing the material to the surface, it was not treated with a cloth or brush. Important point removing dirt and dust causes a smooth coating, and the presence of small particles of dirt underneath will spoil the appearance;
  • the cut piece was not enough to cover the shield. This happens if you don’t take a few centimeters in reserve when cutting. Usually it is calculated at 2-3 cm, which can easily be measured on the back side of the material, where the measuring grid is located;
  • the drawing on the plane does not match. Answering the question: how to properly glue a film that imitates natural materials, it is worth emphasizing that it must be cut at the seams - then there will be no problems with the pattern shifting;
  • Furniture defects are visible under the coating. The reason for this error is poor preparation of the base or the use of too thin material. If the furniture is old enough, then it is better to use rolls with a thicker front layer. Before gluing self-adhesive film on furniture, all damage must be removed.

To do the job efficiently and to paste the furniture yourself without any defects, follow the technology for applying the material. It is better to pre-twist all the fittings, and process the elements of collapsible structures separately. Properly done work will delight all family members with a beautiful updated look of furniture products.

Allows you to update the interior, make it fresher and visually attractive. Replacement kitchen set can be quite expensive, so you can only update the facade. will help change the appearance of the furniture, while its main parts will remain old, which will allow you to significantly save on replacing cabinets.

Benefits of façade renovation

To restore the facades they used. There are times when it begins to come off: if the MDF film has peeled off in the kitchen, you should not rush to replace it with a new one. The film often peels off due to humidity, temperature changes, steam, and the use of low-quality glue.

You should not be surprised if peeling occurs quite quickly, even during loading after manufacture or when the product has a short lifespan. It comes off for the following reasons:

  • The glue is not applied to the entire surface. When the substance is applied manually, often the worker skips sections of the product and the film does not stick to them. You can solve the problem by using colored glue.
  • Using a cheap, poor quality substance. Quite often a two-component polyurethane composition is used. It is quite difficult to mix it in the correct proportion, so the glue hardens incorrectly and does not hold well, and bubbles may appear on the film.
  • Using expired glue. When using such a material, the film will stick, but will peel off fairly quickly.
  • Insufficient temperature during gluing, as a result of which the connection did not go well enough. There can be many reasons: poorly heated film, the vacuum was applied too early, the adhesive layer was thin, the workpieces for the facades were cold, it could have been cold in the workroom, the film was not pressed well enough, due to a weak vacuum supply, the wrong adhesive was chosen, the composition of which does not come into contact with a specific film. The facades themselves could also be used incorrectly: for example, they were located next to heating appliances, kitchen stove, sources of moisture. Before purchasing, it is important to find out how to properly care for furniture and for what conditions it was made.

How to fix the problem?

If the film on the facade of the MDF kitchen has peeled off , from the edge you need to carefully spread it with glue and press down. There is a chance that the film will accept the required form. Another way to restore the coating is to use an adhesive membrane. To do this, you will need to lay the boards on a dry and flat surface, for example, on a table, cover them with a membrane, and use a vacuum. The membrane should tightly cover the facades. If you want greater reliability, you need to use high-quality glue and heat the material so that it can be activated. Warming up should be done evenly. This method is suitable only for unmilled facades: if the surface is uneven, the membrane will not stick and will quickly peel off. Therefore, it is so important to correctly restore kitchen facades while observing certain conditions.

Using heating devices

If the PVC film peels off from MDF kitchen facades, you can try replacing it with a new film or gluing the old material in place using available electrical appliances. This could be an iron, a powerful home or construction hair dryer. The film needs to be carefully warmed up: it should become quite soft and blurry, but not start to melt. If you have something to try, use these pieces or on an inconspicuous place on the façade. The device is pressed against the edge that is not glued for a few seconds. The film should stretch, the glue should warm up at this moment, and the material should protrude towards the back side of the facade and adhere firmly. If this can be done, then it will be possible to glue the entire facade in this way, in places where the film has retreated.

Advice: the film itself cannot be heated with a hairdryer at close range, as this will curl it and be damaged.

This DIY restoration of kitchen facades requires some skill, but is quite simple to perform and does not require the use of expensive tools or materials. If the inside and corners are poorly glued, you can use a metal rod comparable in size to the frame. First you need to warm it up. For this, you can use, for example, a gas burner.

Restoring coating using friction

Restoring kitchen facades from MDF using this method does not require any available tools at all. In order to glue the separated section of the film, you need to cover it with a rag and start rubbing it with your fingers, pressing the film. If there is glue underneath, the temperature from friction in a small area will be enough to activate chemical reaction and make the film stick.

Advice: this method should be used carefully, as there is a high risk of damaging the film, exposing its edge or removing it. upper layer, due to which the appearance of the coating will be spoiled.

Application of glue

Restoring a glossy kitchen can cause some difficulties, since gloss does not tolerate strong physical impact, which is why it should not be roughly rubbed with your fingers or heated closely with any appliances. You can try a safer method - gluing the separated film using “Moment”. Most often, such a film peels off in the kitchen, since it is not affected by hot steam. It is necessary to restore the coating as quickly as possible, otherwise it will be damaged. The glue must be applied to the untreated area of ​​the facade and to the film itself along the edge so that it can isolate the seam from negative influences. All this must be done carefully, as the glue easily sticks and gets dirty.

Conclusion: inexpensive do-it-yourself kitchen restoration is quite accessible; it is advisable to look at photos of the finished results in advance. With a careful and competent approach, you can easily restore the appearance of the kitchen without resorting to replacing parts and without spending cash and produce .
