Hairline cracks on cabinets

9 years ago

My reno was done exactly 10months ago. These cracks occured all over my solid wood white spray painted cabinets, be it bedroom/living room/kitchen. I understand humidity or wood that did not dry properly are inevitable.

But was wondering in the span of 2 months (when it first occured), is it normal?

The company had touched up twice within 10 months. Are there any better solution or should I just live with it?

All advice much appreciated.

Thank you.

My house is old and shudders if lorries go past and so have some hairline cracks and some deeper ones (next doors building works...) since decorating. I think they do appear quickly though, was told some people redecorate every year?! Did they not try filling them with decorators caulk before respraying? I think tiny cracks are also filled with paint using a brush, logic would say spraying would not give the same effect. That's my amateur opinion anyway!

Cement tile is very popular in my area now. My client is considering it for a bathroom. I am unlikely to recommend epoxy or any other coating. It would change the look and feel too much. I prefer to apply penetrant. I call it that, rather than "sealer," because it does not prevent leaks, or even absorption in porous tile, or grout. It protects calcium based cement and grout from reacting with acid, but it is not perfect and it needs to be reapplied periodically. Wine, salad dressing, lemon, and any tart food would react with cement I am hesitant to recommend cement tile for a bathroom. I am afraid of it as a kitchen floor. Sure it is a knock-out gorgeous material, but will caring for it make some clients wish they hadn't fallen in love? I would like to hear from home owners who have lived with it for a few years. Has anybody lived with it in another Morocco?

if you lighten the cabinets etc, then the stone will appear more prominent. if that is what you want, that is fine. I sensed that you did not like the current counter. I would contact a marble/granite installer to see if they think that the cracks can be filled and polished out. it is pretty common to do this on new installations if it is feasible. they may try to charge you as as much as you would spend on a fabricating a counter out of a new slab if they did not do the original installation.

Wood moves with the temperature - hot/cold etc. Having said that unless you have placed your cabinets right next to a very hot radiator, or in direct sunlight, this should not happen. It also depends on the type of paint they have used - does it stretch with the wood? Any good cabinet maker would know this - I also note that these have been sprayed, and that may be the answer - sprayed paint will not move, whereas painted furniture does give. Do not think I would accept these, and stern words are needed with the supplier and put the ball back in their court. You should have at least one years guarantee with these, so I would ask another supplier what they think.
