Paints
It takes six hours to paint a door: each coat adds to it durability and helps to create a smoth, even surface. Paints with glaze: the glazing process highlights the visual depth and interest in corners, crevices. Adding glaze to a painted cabinets brings out the unique qualities of each door, since it's applied by hand, not two doors are exactly the same.
Stains
To bring out the defining character of any wood species, we hand-spray and hand-rub all our stains. It requires a lot of skills. Stain with glaze add depth and dimension. A flood coat of glaze is applied over the entire base stain, than hand-wipe so that glaze stays in the cracks, crevices and grain-lines.
