Our furniture-like finish starts by selecting only the finest maple, beech, cherry, and lyptus, and then hand-sorting the lumber to complement the finish. |
|
|
|
 |
The panels are then sanded smooth, manually and by state-of-the-art sanders, starting with #100 grit and finishing with #220 grit sandpaper.
|
|
|
|
 |
Prior to staining, the panels are vacuumed to eliminate dust particles.
|
|
|
|
 |
The first coat of water-based stain is then applied using the Rototech Automatic Spraying machine with its rapidly spinning series of 24 guns that apply an even coat of stain every time.
|
|
|
|
 |
A second coat of water-based stain is then applied by the Rototech to enrich the natural beauty of the wood.
|
|
|
|
 |
An open area on the automated line allows for minor adjustments to ensure color consistency with master panels.
|
|
|
|
 |
Our environmentally-friendly wood sealer is then applied using an automatic reciprocating sprayer ensuring uniform protection.
|
|
|
|
 |
For the distressed look, distressing and sand-through are hand applied creating a unique look for each panel.
|
|
|
|
 |
For glazed finishes, the panels are then hand-rubbed with a glaze and wiped clean of excess glaze.
|
|
|
|
 |
After the glaze application, the product is slowly air-dried for 24 hours.
|
|
|
|
 |
The wood sealer is applied a second time with the automatic reciprocating sprayer.
|
|
|
|
 |
The sealed product then passes sequentially through a hot air oven and a high intensity UV oven to guarantee a complete cure.
|
|
|
|
 |
The panels are then hand and machine sanded to prepare for final topcoat.
|
|
|
|
 |
Our specially formulated UV topcoat is then applied by the reciprocating sprayer and any overspray is recycled further reducing any impact on the environment.
|
|
|
|
 |
Steps 13 and 14 are repeated for a finish that is scratch resistant, avoids yellowing, resistant to most household chemicals, and far exceeds all KCMA requirements.
|
|
|
|
 |
Each panel is individually inspected as it comes off the line to ensure our customer’s high expectations are met.
