Your wood door styles are available with many different finish options. Each of our finish techniques uses a catalyzed conversion varnish top coat to provide a consistent long lasting sheen, and protection from common household products that may come in contact with the wood surface. This top coat also means that your cabinetry can be easily cared for with nothing more than a damp cloth and some mild detergent. Waxes are not needed and can lead to a blotchy look along with acting like a magnet to dust and dirt.
Our specialty includes:
Our dedicated finishing room experts support the detailed multi-step finishing process. Each step is carefully controlled to craft the most authentic, longest-lasting finish possible.
Each door is carefully inspected and prepared for the painting or staining process prior to entering the coating area. All components are wiped clean and edges are inspected and prepared to ensure proper base coat application.
For painted finishes, the first base coat serves as the foundation of the door’s final color. It is carefully hand-sprayed with low VOC paints in a filtered spray booth. For stained finishes, the solvent-based stain is applied by hand to achieve maximum penetration into the wood and color depth while allowing the wood grain to shine through.
On primed products, we sand down your cabinets again to make sure they have a silky-smooth feel. We ask ourselves, “Does this meet our customer’s high standards?”
The second base coat serves as a strengthened foundation for the door. The sealer and primer coats prepare the product for the final topcoat.
Once again, we sand down the cabinets to make sure there aren’t any imperfections.
The catalyzed conversion varnish top coat seals the finish and enhances the colors highlighted in the staining process, adding durability and sheen to the final product.
Glazing highlights the details of the selected door. It decreases uniformity on painted finishes, and enhances color on stained finishes.
All glazed products receive a clear top coat to prevent the glaze from wear.
We take great pride in our work, meticulously going through six to eight steps to ensure the cabinetry meets our high expectations. Ready to learn more about our offerings? Contact your Wellsford Dealer today.
