Partial restoration of kitchen facades allows you to update the interior, make it fresher, and visually attractive. Replacing a kitchen unit can be quite expensive, so you can only update the facade. This restoration technology will help change the appearance of the furniture, while its main parts will remain old, which will significantly save on replacing cabinets.

What to do if the PVC film peels off from MDF facades?

Everything is of course individual, you need to see where and how the film came off.
If it’s all over the facade, then most likely it’s a factory defect; such a facade must be returned to the seller; you can glue it at home, but it’s unlikely that you’ll be able to glue the film completely.

Before starting work, you need to know that PVC film is glued to the MDF facade under pressure and temperature; you can start with similar methods.

The easiest way (by the way, he helped me, not surprisingly, he glued the facade of the kitchen) is to take a dry rag in your hands and, with progressive movements “back and forth”, begin to rub the peeled place, as if by doing this, you will create both temperature from friction and pressure, temperature will bring the dried glue under the film into working condition.

Work without fanaticism and stop, too much effort is not needed here.

rub and look at the result.

If this method does not help, proceed to plan B.

We take a hairdryer in our hands, you can use a regular one, but it’s better to use an industrial (construction) one and heat up the place where the film has come off, the glue will “melt” and then, as it were, we “rub” the film into the facade, towards the edges.

The next method is similar, but instead of a hair dryer we use an iron and a cloth, “iron” the surface, activate the glue, then press the film.

If nothing helps, then move on to the last plan “C”.

We buy quick-drying glue, such as “Super-moment”

Something should help, but in general you need to remember that PVC film is afraid of elevated temperatures and if your film has come off on the kitchen facade in the area of the oven or gas stove, then you need to think about how to insulate the facade and the stove, the film will come off forever, if don't do this.

I had a similar case on a kitchen set; the film began to peel off from the door of the adjacent cabinet near the sink. At first, my suspicions were that water was getting in there, but upon careful inspection, no traces of water were found.

There was something similar, only on one door approximately in the middle:

So first of all, understand the reasons!

I removed the door and began to carefully examine it; it turned out that the film had peeled off not even from the very edge, but about 2-3 centimeters from the edge.

After opening it, I discovered a defect.

Approximately, as I said, from the edge, 3-4 centimeters between the glued part of the MDF and the film, there were small shavings with some kind of dust or dirt, and it was from this part that the film began to lag behind.

The next steps were:

On the Internet I found a lot of recommendations on what kind of glue to use, but the problem was to buy this glue, there were no small tubes in our city, so I had to go to the craftsmen who assemble kitchens. I took some of this glue from them:

It was with them that I glued the film back. And I glued it like this:

After gluing, there was a visible cross from the cut, but the film itself stuck well.

________________ _______

I came to the following conclusion:

Most likely, while gluing the film to the facade, something got on the surface; at first, the film may have been stretched and the place was not protruding so much, but over time, when exposed to temperature, the film became limp, and so the swelling appeared.

PVC film peels off from MDF facades

PS. I found out that Korean film is used. They also have German PVC film, but apart from the fact that it is thicker, they cannot say anything.

Here's an Ardo gas oven » > It has ventilation holes on the top of the front side, where the heat comes out. This is the cooling principle" >

PS. If I move the oven forward (toward me) 1-2cm, will this help improve the situation? I’m also wondering if I could take the end strip (which fits over the end of the countertop) and stick it in as a barrier between the oven drawer and the front drawer?

Only it is aluminum, won't it have the opposite effect?

Yes, this happens. Not only you. Even on the top drawers (fronts) above the oven. Replacing facades does not always help. You can take a photo of furniture with facades and an oven.

Here is a view of the oven and fronts

This is how the film peels off (sorry about the quality)

I came across this. There is only one treatment - to provide a gap. Either air (void) or from a plank (chipboard possible) 30-40-50 mm. Right and left. Or change the facades to non-film ones.

Good afternoon, I think replacing the facades will not solve anything, because... Little depends on the film, but what kind of glue is used by the façade manufacturer, that’s the question, and is this glue resistant to elevated temperatures? Maybe you should install other facades with postforming or painted MDF, it seems to me that Tony can withstand such temperatures better

This is a problem with household appliances in this price range. Ardo is the most problematic product. All normal built-in doors have side protection, or the door is made in such a way as to prevent heating of the furniture.

I read somewhere on furniture forums about how the film peels off completely and remains hanging on the handles.
