Paints and stains. There are some pretty nice selections, but blah! Where’s the personality? Where’s the originality, the artistic flair, or the individuality? Try an alternative. Be different. These are treatments that can be added to your paint or stain finishes that will guarantee your cabinets will standout.
Glazing and Pinstriping
Hand-Wiped glazes are applied using a hand rubbed application process to the entire surface of both the face and back of every door. Each door becomes a “one-of-a-kind” and unique appearance.
Pinstripe-Glaze option allows the true base color of wiping stains to remain intact while providing contrasting, clean glaze lines that are applied by hand using a finely trimmed brush. Pinstripe glazes are applied to the face and edge profiles of doors and drawer fronts.
Distressing and Antiquing
Distressing may include a random distribution of nicks and impressions, simulated wormholes, rasp marks and simulated cracks.
Antiquing is a random sanding process that takes place prior to glaze and topcoat. It is a rub through process, performed on corners and edges exposing bare wood, which will then be glazed and topcoated.
Heirloom
The Heirloom treatment is achieved by combining three elements: one layer of paint material, a hand wiped glaze application and a combination of
specific distressing techniques referred to as the Vintage Distressing Package.
The Heirloom treatment provides a unique, distinctive appearance. When all pieces are combined in an installed kitchen, the Heirloom treatment makes an attractive design statement.
Unitones
The Unitone treatment provides a unique, distinctive look.
The overall appearance of the Unitone treatment is achieved by combining two elements: one layer of paint material and a hand wiped glaze application.
Weathering
Weathering is a process that raises the grain of the wood to simulate an aged look. It works well with hand rubbed stains and truetones but is not suited to all wood types.
