QUICK TIPS
Glazed Cabinet Finishes
Manufacturers at all price points said at
the 2001 Kitchen and Bath Industry Show to
expect to see antique and glazed finishes go from custom status to
standard. They see no end to the trend of homeowners looking to add a
sense of heritage to their kitchens. To get a distressed look,
cabinetmakers might sand a painted door or even rub it with rocks. Glazing
achieves an aged effect through somewhat gentler means. At Medallion
Cabinetry, for example, a glaze material is sprayed over a base stain or
paint and then wiped off by hand. The glaze settles in the cabinet
door’s corners, edges, and open grain areas, defining its details and
lending an overall patina.
