For a natural look, a stain color is applied into the wood ensuring rich and consistent color.
Stain enhances the inherent beauty of each wood type. Natural characteristics such as wood grain and mineral streaks become more prominent which create lighter and darker effects in the color.
The color of a stain can vary on the various parts of the same door. Each grain absorbs more or less stain than the other wood components of the door, resulting in a darker or lighter color.
Finally, a commercial grade finish coat is applied to give your cabinets a smooth finish and years of protection.
