Color and finish are the last steps of building your unique custom cabinets. There are two main finishing techniques: stain finishing or paint finishing. Both of these types of finishing will make your cabinetry look fantastic. If you prefer a more traditional look, you can add in glazing at the end.
There five processes in putting color into wood:
Pre-Sanding
Allows the wood to absorb the color.
Staining
The process of spraying the color into the wood, using a spray gun for even coating.
Sealing
Used to create a protective layer to resist water, build durability, and promote adhesion.
Fine-Sanding
Allows the surface to be smooth to the touch after the sealer roughs it up.
Top Coat
The final step that solidifies a smooth surface area.
