Respraying Vs Wrapping
Why you should spray your kitchen cupboards instead of vinyl wrapping?
If you’re thinking of having your kitchen cabinets and draws vinyl wrapped, you may want to think again! While vinyl wrapping used to be the only option available to refreshing your kitchen, it is now outdated and inferior to spray paint. Find out below why respraying your kitchen is a far better alternative than vinyl wrapping.
Let's Compare...
Vinyl wrapping is the process of applying a thin layer of plastic to surfaces to protect them or change their appearance. This can be done for both aesthetic and functional purposes. In the case of your kitchen, it is an alternative to replacing your kitchen cupboard doors and drawer fronts.
While this may sound like a simple enough process, there are several negatives to vinyl wrapping your kitchen cupboards which we should talk about...
What is Vinyl Wrapping?
What are the negatives of Vinyl Wrapping?
-
Vinyl wrapping doesn’t age very well, they typically last 3 – 6 years, after which it will start to peel and discolour. In a high-use kitchen the lifespan could be lower.
-
Vinyl can fade and become brittle in direct sunlight, so if you have a south-facing kitchen your cupboards will likely start to show signs of wear and tear sooner.
-
Vinyl is made from rubber and plastic which can attract moisture due to thinness and texture . This means that if your cupboards are near a sink or other water source, they are more susceptible to damage.
-
Vinyl wrapped cupboards near hot appliances can also peel and warp. So if you have an oven or hob in close proximity to your cupboards, the heat could cause the vinyl to bubble and come away from the surface.
-
Vinyl wrapping cannot be easily repaired once scratched or torn. This means that if your cupboards suffer any minor damage, you will likely have to replace the entire vinyl wrap.
-
The smaller range of colours available can make it difficult to find a match for your existing kitchen decor. And because vinyl wraps are mass-produced, colour matching is not possible.
Why is Spray Painting Better?
-
