Can You Paint Thermofoil Cabinets?

Can You Paint Thermofoil Cabinets?

What is Thermofoil?

Thermofoil is a plastic material which is heat baked on to an MDF substrate. The sheen can very, and is very durable. While the sheen and texture can vary, it is typically in a white satin finish. The main benefits of Thermofoil are that it is factory applied and very durable. The downsides are it looks plastic, and is very susceptible to heat and moisture.

Painting Thermofoil Cabinets

We are asked quite often if you can paint over this surface. The answer is yes. Thermofoil actually paints very similar to normal cabinets. The prep is critical to ensure the new paint adheres. The cleaning and proper primer are a must, to ensure the finish lasts. You can expect your new paint to last roughly 10 years. The cost should be about the same as painting wood cabinets.

What a difference!! We hired Brooks Painting to do both an interior refresh painting and a completely new exterior color. Everything was handled professionally and as promised. The team, from estimator to office to painters on site, was responsive, friendly and skilled. Brooks Painting is the most reliable contractor we have ever hired. Thank you Jeremy, Dan, Israel, and Kristen.

We chose Brooks Painting based on their excellent reputation. It was an excellent choice! We had them do a complete exterior and almost complete interior painting of our two story house. They were done separately, while we were out of town. We are very pleased with the quality of the work. They even fixed up a few mistakes made by a crew that painted a portion of our interior ceilings a month prior (removal of asbestos popcorn ceiling), at no extra charge. Cleanup was great, also. They repaired some dry rot that was uncovered (extra charge, but worth it), and they even moved furniture back into place as well as put back the curtain rods that I had taken down, which wasn't expected. I highly recommend them, and will use them again for any future paint jobs.

Eric and his crew were on time every day and did a very thorough job. I was thrilled that they were willing to paint my outdoor light fixtures which were getting rusty. I was particularly impressed how much time they spent going over their work at the end to catch spots that were missed. I’ll be using them again for interior painting.
