14 Step Finishing Process
Every door and drawer front we make is quality - from start to finish.
Our pre-finished wood doors go through our 14-Step Finishing Process.
|
| STEP 1- | Only the finest, top quality hardwoods in Oak, Maple, Cherry, and Hickory selected. |
| STEP 2- | Progressive machine-sanding process. |
| STEP 3- | Hand-sand with #220 grit sandpaper to assure the best possible surface for finishing. |
| STEP 4- | Stain toner is applied as needed to establish a base color. This minimizes variations in wood color. |
| STEP 5- | Careful steps are taken to ensure that the stain is sprayed on all surfaces, penetrating seams between the panel and frame. |
| STEP 6- | Stain is hand-wiped to bring out the hidden beauty of the wood grains. |
| STEP 7- | The doors are passed through a convection oven for the final drying phase. |
| STEP 8- | The doors are sealed with a clear, penetrating, catalyzed varnish wood sealer. |
| STEP 9- | High-temperature ovens assure the sealer dries to a hard, durable finish. |
| STEP 10- | The entire face and back is hand-sanded, providing a smooth surface to the topcoat. |
| STEP 11- | The catalyzed varnish, clear topcoat is hand-sprayed on all surfaces. |
| STEP 12- | Top coat is baked on, in high-temperature infrared ovens, ensuring maximum resistance to UV fading, scuffing and moisture. |
| STEP 13- | Before packing, products are individually inspected to high standards. |
| STEP 14- | Prior to shipment, each door and drawer front is wrapped in foam to help ensure they arrive in perfect condition. |
