Choosing the Right Cabinetry

Stain With Glaze Finishes

Stain is applied, then hand-rubbed into the wood

Glaze finish is applied to entire door, then hand-wiped to create hang-ups in corners and recessed areas

Glaze highlight color is hand-applied to detail recessed areas

Available on Maple, Oak, Cherry, Birch and Hickory1

A base stain is applied to the wood for consistent color coverage. A flood coat of glaze is then applied and hand-wiped, leaving behind soft tones in the corners and recesses of the door. Next, a highlight glaze is brushed into the corners and recesses by hand to emphasize the subtle variations in color.

• Glazing is a finish process that involves two hand-detailed techniques, so no two doors look exactly alike.
• The initial flood coat of glaze softens the original base color. The highlight glaze increases visual depth and interest in the corners and recesses.
• A veneer center panel absorbs more of the glaze resulting in a slightly darker color than on the solid wood components of the door frame.
