Oak Kitchen Cabinets Painted White Before and After

Choosing oak as the material for cabinets mainly because oak itself is a type of hardwood, so the cabinets made from it are strong, stable, and have a longer service life. However, the natural grain of oak cannot be changed. For those who do not like this grain, modification is needed.

At Union Woods, the custom services we provide can meet your needs. By painting both the front and back of oak cabinets white, we can well cover the natural grain of oak. Moreover, white is a very classic color that never goes out of style easily.

Painting oak cabinets not only retains the natural durability of oak but also solves the problem of single color. You can choose the color of the cabinets according to your own preference. Cabinets of different colors are suitable for different decoration styles, and we will provide professional suggestions based on the style of your kitchen.

Oak boards have good processing performance and evenly distributed pores, which can absorb coatings well. Whether you choose to apply clear varnish for the natural wood color, dark matte paint, or white paint, the paint surface can be guaranteed to be smooth, and problems such as paint peeling are less likely to occur.

Every step of the spray painting process is handled by professionals. After painting, special personnel will inspect the finish, and the qualified painted panels will be neatly arranged. It’s evident that we receive a large number of orders for white cabinets—compared to other colors, white is truly more timeless.

Maintenance of Oak Cabinets

 

Although oak cabinets become more durable after being painted white both inside and out, daily maintenance still cannot be neglected. Without proper care, they are prone to deformation, cracking, and paint aging. Therefore, it is necessary to master the following methods.

 

Daily Cleaning

Wipe the surface of oak cabinets with a soft damp cloth to remove dust and oil stains. For stubborn oil stains, dip a small amount of neutral detergent to wipe the surface.

Avoid Direct Sunlight

For cabinets near windows, install blinds or curtains to reduce direct sunlight. This prevents the paint from fading and the wood from cracking.

Regular Maintenance

Wipe the cabinets with furniture-specific wax every year to form a protective film. Check the hardware accessories every quarter to see if the hinges and drawer slides are loose, and tighten them in time to avoid cabinet deformation.
