Caulking kitchen cabinet doors.

Prior to caulking it s very important to clean out dust or gunk grease in between seams and joints so primer and caulking will stick. Lasts 10 to 15 years but breaks down faster if exposed to water often. When painting cabinets especially white and whenever possible take extra steps to fill cracks and seams in the wood. One of the steps that we do on about 50 of the cabinets that we paint is to caulk the seam between the door panel and trim.

Karen s company loves to paint kitchen cabinets. The art of caulking cabinets. Caulking pros cons. Cleans up with water.

The idea is to make the caulking smooth consistently even in the roundness of its cove no gaps or ridges and also to blend in seamlessly with the grain on the panels. Whether to caulk painted cabinet doors materials choices assembly methods and finishing techniques all affect whether a door looks seamless or not. But having just finished up a small re finishing job of about half a kitchen s worth of doors it went pretty smoothly.
