Position carefully, smooth from the centre out, work around the edges and finish with a sharp blade.

How to wrap kitchen cabinets

Start with one door or drawer front so you can work through the full sequence before continuing across the kitchen.

Remove hardware that crosses the area you plan to wrap.
Clean the surface and edges thoroughly, then let them dry.
Measure the front, edges and profiles. Add material for the full path over shaped areas and for trimming.
Peel back a small section, align the film and smooth from the centre out.
Work around the edges and corners gradually, trim with a sharp blade and press every edge again.
