Look to Product In-Depth for all available finish combinations featured in The Finish Booklet. Semi-Opaque Base Coats Semi-opaque base coats offer an exciting starting point for creating timeless looks. Like faded and worn paint, these base coats create an almost solid color effect. Several exciting colors are available. Like painted furniture subjected to years of household use, cabinetry finished in our Semi-Opaque Base Coats will often show some wood color beneath the finish, but will appear much more opaque than our regular stains. And, unlike our stains, these colors are not intended for stand-alone use, but are to be used in conjunction with other techniques, such as glazing or crackling. Glazing Glazed finishes are inconsistent in every aspect imaginable. There is inconsistency between manufacturers as to what glazes should look like. Some use the glaze process to create neat, even lines of highlight in profile corners and framing beads. Others strive simply to soften and change a standard color, taking great pains to remove almost all of the highlighting in corners and beads. And some use the glaze process to create worn, antiqued looks, intentionally leaving a heavy glaze "hang up" on framing beads and profiles. Edge Wear The Edge Wear technique mimics a worn look on the faces of doors and drawer fronts. Our handcrafters randomly sand through the stain or basecoat, exposing raw wood on the edges of framing beads, panel raises, and outside edges of doors and drawer fronts. After the sand-through process, a sanding sealer is applied, followed by a catalyzed varnish topcoat. This technique is applied only to doors and drawer fronts, and is not available on cabinet boxes or accessory items. Veiling While our other Smart Styles options mimic severely used, stripped & failing finishes, veiling creates a dirty, left-to-the-elements look. The lacquer used in this technique may leave a slight raised texture in some cases, thus adding to the effect. As with all hand-worked options, the thickness of each strand of veiling and the proximity of one strand to another will vary within and between components. Crackled Finishes Crackled finishes have become popular again in furniture applications, where they are often found on "single piece" accent items. These finishes give the appearance of timeworn paint that is cracking, which reveals the "original" color underneath. Not only is the finish crackled in appearance, it conveys a crackled texture which in many cases you can actually feel. No Warranty - Not KCMA Approved Physical Distress The physical distress technique creates random dents and simulated wormholes on the stiles, rails and panel raises of faces of doors & drawer fronts. The backs of doors and drawer fronts are not distressed. Ends, frames and accessories are not distressed. Center panels of Shaker doors & drawer fronts are not distressed. Duotone Finish Schemes Duotone finish schemes allow the customer to use two different color schemes on the same cabinet. The doors and drawer fronts are finished in one color scheme. The cabinet box and all accessories are finished in another.
