Colourtones
with Glazes

Glazed treatments offer a distinctive appearance, significantly altering the base Colourtone color. The random nature of the glazing option ensures slight variations from one product to the next, giving a unique look to the finished kitchens.

Colourtones receiving the glazed option will have slight inconsistencies in appearance.  Variations, however slight, are inherent to this finish combination.  To successfully market this product, education of your personnel must take place.  We will not offer no charge replacements for any of the reasons previously listed.

Characteristics of glazed finishes include variations in:

• Glaze “hang”, with noticeable variations on edge profiles, panel raises and applied mouldings.
• Absorption into end grain on framing and panel raises.
• Appearance of blotches and rag marks.
• Highlighting of machined areas, which normally do not appear with typical wiping stains or base Colourtone colors.
• Glazed Colourtones will remain within a controlled range of color, however, individual pieces will vary slightly.

As with any Colourtone product, we do not recommend ordering plywood panel doors or other veneered products due the inherent cracking and checking that takes place in veneers.  Veneer checking will not be considered a finishing defect.

Use of glazes on mitered and applied moulding products will greatly enhance any offset that may be present in the joint construction.

MDF doors finished with Colourtones and glaze will have noticeable variations in glaze hang and absorption on profiled areas. Machined areas may contain small pinholes that are highlighted by the glaze and will not be considered defects.
