Glass kitchen cabinet doors are an elegant way to improve your kitchen. They are both beautiful and functional, which will improve how you use your kitchen and its value when you want to sell your home. In this post I want to share some tips for what to look for in your glass cabinet doors so you can make a great decision when you purchase them.

The biggest factor in the quality of a glass kitchen cabinet door is the frame that it sits in. Most of the time this will be crafted from wood, but metal and plastic are also common materials. Whatever the material, you need something that is high quality so it stays flush with the cabinet for its entire life. Cheap wood will warp over time, which will put extra strain on the glass that could cause it to break when the door closes.

There aren’t many differences in glass. Your decision here should be based completely on what catches your eye and works with the rest of your kitchen. Etched glass is very popular with kitchen cabinet doors, but the more decoration you put on the glass, the less you can see through it. One of the most important benefits of glass doors is the fact that you can see through them, which prevents wasting time searching around, so you have to find a balance between function and fashion.

Upgrading only the doors, and not the cabinets, is the most cost effective way to make this upgrade. The cabinets, and their installation, is the beef of the costs. If you can get away with only changing the doors, you are going to save a lot of cash! Most of the time, you can install the doors on your own. It’s very easy to get cabinet doors hung level, and can probably be done in an afternoon.

Choosing glass kitchen cabinet doors is a great addition to any home. They are versatile, allowing you to see right into the cabinet, while looking fantastic. There aren’t a lot of things that you can do to your kitchen that will have the same impact at such a low price, assuming that you’re not upgrading the cabinets as well! Continue reading →
