Glazing

Glazing is a very subjective treatment.  Each door becomes “one-of-a-kind” and unique in its appearance.  Even though we match every glazed door to a control sample, each door will take glaze differently. Color consistency is more difficult to control on glazed products.  Some of the factors influencing color consistency are grain patterns, wood density, stain color, thickness of the sealer coat, sealer sanding and overall size of the piece.

Glazed products will vary in appearance.  We consider these slight variations acceptable and will not warrant variations of glazes.

We recommend that our customers develop a document that would be read and signed by the end user indicating their understanding of the potential color issues with a stain/glaze combination.  Such a document will help protect all parties in the event of a color-based issue.

We strongly recommend that a sample door be ordered prior to ordering a full kitchen, regardless of the finish and species combination.

We maintain strict standards for our glazing process.  With this in mind, we will not “custom” glaze a job.  Therefore, we offer only our standard glazing options.

Glazes significantly alter the appearance of a stain/species combination.  An attractive combination may look quite different once glazed.  With this in mind, we do not recommend certain glaze combinations, and some combinations are not available.  Contact our office for assistance in making a choice.
