Our Glazing Technique
Our glazing process is a multi-step process that adds depth to the base finish color and highlights profiles and grain patterns in doors and moldings. This process enhances the details of the door style and adds a patina to the overall finish.

This finish is achieved by spraying a "glaze" material over the base stain, then wiping the glaze off by hand. In this process, glaze will "hang-up" in corners, profile edges and open grain areas of the wood, such as end-grain. Certain door styles require the addition of hand brushing the glaze over profile edges to create a greater definition between the base stain and the glaze. Reference to each specific door sample is necessary for an accurate representation.

Characteristics inherent in this process include uneven hang-up on profile edges, rag marks in corners, and glaze hang-up around natural characteristics in the wood. In addition, certain door styles show more defined lines with brush marks and greater contrast on open grain between the base stain and the glaze.

Vintage Paint Finishes
This finish is a  multi-step painted finish that adds the patina and general characteristics of age to painted cabinetry. Vintage paints are achieved using a glaze process over a base enamel paint.  In this process, glaze will "hang-up" in corners, profile edges and some open grain areas of the wood, such as end-grain.  The painted base coat is prepared to accept the glaze and create the patina on the flat surfaces.


Heirloom Paint Finishes
This finish is a  multi-step painted finish that creates the appearance of wear and the patina of an heirloom furniture piece. A base enamel paint coat and glaze process, similar to Vintage Paints, is combined with random distressing and sanding of various stages of the finishing process producing the Heirloom Finish.  In addition to glaze hang-ups and the unique patina on the flat surfaces, Heirloom finished products are sanded through the painted finish to expose the natural wood or grain and create the effect of wear with age.  After the sanding process, the product receives a final clear conversion varnish top coat.

Classic Paint Finishes
For the best final results, we begin with a base primer fill coat to prepare the surface for even coverage of the pigmented enamel.  The Classic enamel adds lustrous color and solid coverage.  Our furniture quality finish is achieved with a catalyzed oven-cured top coat which protects and seals for long lasting beauty and durability.

Antique Distressed Finish
Antique Distressing is a finish created by lightly distressing the wood for a subtle worn appearance. Antique Distressing characteristics include sanded corners/profiles of doors and drawer fronts, as well as small dings and dents. All elements vary by cabinet component; view a sample door for proper representation. Antique Distressing is applied to doors, drawer fronts, all finished end treatments, moldings, turned legs/feet, plywood panels, wainscot material, deluxe panels, accessories and wood tops.

Legacy Distressed Finish
Legacy Distressing is a finish process created by physically distressing the wood for an aged appearance. Legacy Distressing characteristics include sanded corners/profiles, small dings and dents, rasping, worm holes, chisel marks and knife splits. In addition to the physical distressing elements, a glazed brush spatter is applied. All elements vary by cabinet component; view a sample door for proper representation. Legacy Distressing is applicable to doors, drawer fronts, all finished end treatments, moldings, turned legs/feet, plywood panels, wainscot material, deluxe panels, accessories and wood tops. In addition, the glaze brush spatter element is included on all face frames.
