Sanding & Appearance Options

Cross Grain Sanding

The cross grain sanding option is available on unfinished doors and drawer fronts.

Sanding is done on the Face, Back and Edge profile of each door or drawer front.

Please note, even with cross grain removal, our doors are not finish-room ready. To prepare for finishing, we recommend a light hand sanding in addition to cross grain removal.

This option is automatically included at no charge on prefinished products. Prices are per panel for unfinished doors, Wainscoting and Appliance panels, and per piece for other unfinished products such as drawer fronts and valances.
Distressing
Description of Distressing Levels
  • Level 1: a random distribution of nicks and impressions.
  • Level 2: Level 1 plus simulated worm holes, razor cuts and joint cuts.
Wear Sanding
The Wear Sanding option provides an aged appearance to unfinished doors and drawer fronts.
  • On raised panel designs, sanding is applied to the corners of the panel and the outside corners of the framing.
  • Flat panel, mullions and frame only designs will receive sanding on the outside corners of the frame.
  • Sanding will be random and each corner will vary in appearance.
  • Wear Sanding is available with all published panel raises and edge profiles.
Antiquing

Antiquing is a random post-stain sanding of exposed corners and edges. Provides a complementary worn look to our distressing.

To achieve a heavier level antiquing, combine this option with the wear sanding also found in this section.
