Finishes

A multi-step process where the oak is stained, then a white or contrasting "liming wax" or pigment is rubbed into the open grain. This highlights the wood’s natural texture while creating a sophisticated, high-contrast look.

Paint is an opaque solid color. A glaze is a semi-transparent layer applied over the base paint or stain; it is wiped off but remains in the profiles and corners to highlight the door's architectural details.

Cabinet finishes face constant exposure to humidity, food spills, oils, and high-frequency handling. While paint provides color, it remains vulnerable to chipping, staining, and abrasion over time. Applying a topcoat of polyurethane creates a non-porous protective barrier over the painted surface. This poly coating delivers key practical benefits: Impact & Scratch Resistance: Hardens the surface to prevent dings, scratches, and wear along heavily used door edges. Moisture & Chemical Defense: Prevents water, kitchen grease, and cleaning chemicals from penetrating the paint layer. Color Preservation: Seals the pigment underneath, protecting it from fading or yellowing caused by UV exposure. Wipe-Clean Maintenance: Creates a smooth, sealed surface that allows for effortless daily cleaning. This dual-layer process ensures the cabinet maintains both its aesthetic finish and structural integrity over years of regular use.

Yes. We use "Liquid Metal" coatings containing real brass or zinc particles. Once sprayed and polished, the cabinetry has the weight, cold feel, and patina of solid metal without the immense cost or weight.

Traditional matte can show oils, but we use specialized "Super-Matte" PET or Lacquer finishes with nano-tech properties that resist fingerprints and eliminate the "greasy" look common with dark colors.

Our finishes utilize a catalyzed post-conversion varnish. Unlike standard household paint, this chemical-cure coating is resistant to grease, household cleaners, and the high-humidity environment of a kitchen.

These include hand-applied techniques like "distressing," "rub-through," or "sand-through" edges that mimic the wear of antique furniture. We also offer "metallic" lacquers that provide a shimmering, automotive-grade aesthetic.

We use a "toner" process where dyes are mixed into the sealer layers. This compensates for natural variations in the wood species, ensuring that all 20+ doors in a kitchen match in tone and depth.

A design where the upper cabinets and lower cabinets are finished in contrasting colors—typically white or light wood on top and a dark, anchoring color (like navy or charcoal) on the bottom.
