Wrapping applies a vinyl film over existing doors and panels. It is faster than respraying, cheaper than new doors, and the whole kitchen stays usable throughout.
The trade-off is heat: wrap lifts at edges next to an oven or kettle if there is no heat deflector. Other refacing routes are under Kitchen Renovations Cape Town.

| New doors | Most expensive and longest lead time. New substrate and hardware. |

Ask for a heat deflector strip above the oven and beside the kettle station. It is a small item that prevents the single most common wrap failure, which is edge lifting from heat.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does kitchen wrapping last?
Five to ten years with care. Edges near heat sources are where it fails first, which is why a heat deflector above the oven matters.
Is wrapping cheaper than respraying?
Usually, and it is faster. Wrapping a medium kitchen runs R15,000 to R35,000 against R22,000 to R45,000 for a respray.
Respraying is more durable and can be repaired on site; wrap generally cannot.
Can wrapping go over any door?
It needs a sound, smooth, clean substrate. Heavily profiled doors, swollen board and lifting laminate are all poor candidates.
Can I use my kitchen during wrapping?
Yes, which is its main practical advantage. Most kitchens are wrapped in one to three days with the doors on and off the same day.
