KraftMaid Cabinets: Here Are Tips To Save Big Time
KraftMaid has been in business for decades providing high-quality cabinets for both remodeled and new homes. They offer cabinets for offices, kitchens, and bathrooms. These also come in various colors and styles. What’s great about the company from an environment-conscious perspective is that they build KraftMaid cabinets using nature-friendly manufacturing practices. So they aim to reduce home remodeling and design waste.
KraftMaid cabinets use materials from actual wood such as hickory, birch, oak, maple, or cherry. Often, Thermofoil is applied to the surfaces of the wood. Stains of varying hues are also on the wood to give it a better overall appearance and feel. The finishing touches on the cabinets vary as well. There are a lot of colors and stains to choose from. They can come in green, black, brown or white.
The cabinets can also be easily upgraded in many ways. You can choose from glass inserts, crown moldings at the top, decorative feet, pulls and handles, and lighting. These can be for both practical and decorative purposes.

Installing KraftMaid Cabinets
To properly install a KraftMaid cabinet, you need tools. You need an electric drill, a level, masking tape, a measuring tape, and some wooden shims. When you have these, follow the following steps:
1) Set the cabinet up on the portion of the floor where you want it to sit.
2) Using the masking tape, mark out the layout of the cabinet. Write labels on the masking tape identifying measurements and other details.
3) It is best that you disengage the doors as well as the drawers of the cabinet so you can easily work on it’s interior sections. You can easily clamp them all together this way.
4) Using the level, determine if the floor is even so that you can perform the installation process accordingly. You can use wooden shims to help level the cabinets.
5) Above the cabinets, mark with chalk or tape the wall studs to guide you where to drill later.
6) Inside the cabinet is a mounting rail. Drill a hole through it, all the way through the cabinet towards the wooden studs. Included in the cabinet there will be screws. Use them to set the cabinet in place.
7) Put back in place the drawers and doors of the cabinets that you removed earlier.
Cleaning KraftMaid Cabinet
To be able to thoroughly clean a KraftMaid cabinet, you need dish soap, oil soap, water, and cleaning rags or towels. Wipe the cabinet surfaces with a damp cloth sprinkled with dish soap. Let the cabinets dry then wipe them again with a damp cloth only this time cloth with the oil sap. After the cabinet dries by itself it will look much better after cleaning it with the oil sap, than if you would have done it without it.
You can also be more thorough by performing the same process on the inside drawers and other inside parts of the cabinets at least once every 6 months.
Please note: as the article says it is important that you apply the solvents to the cleaning cloth instead of directly to the cabinet itself. Don’t leave the solvent-dampened cloth on the cabinet for too long either, as this can cause staining and other damage to it.
