Housing by decade
Best cabinet option for Stony Plain homes, by the decade they were built
Stony Plain's housing splits almost evenly around the year 2000. Statistics Canada's 2021 Census counted 7,135 occupied private dwellings in the town, and about 48.4% were built in 2000 or earlier. The table pairs each period with general cabinet context for homes of that age.
| Built | Homes (2021 Census) | General cabinet context |
|---|---|---|
| 1980 or earlier | 1,575 | Kitchens this old have often been redone. Sound wood boxes of any age can be painted. |
| 1981 to 2000 | 1,880 | Honey oak and golden oak were common. Solid wood from this era is usually sound enough to refinish or paint. |
| 2001 to 2010 | 2,270 | Check for thermofoil. Where a kitchen has it, it peels near stoves and dishwashers after 10 to 20 years. |
| 2011 to 2021 | 1,410 | Laminate and melamine fronts take paint after a bonding primer if you want a new colour. |
