WE PUT OUR FINISHES TO THE TEST

THE TEST
Homecrest’s multi-step finish is not only beautiful — it stands up to everyday wear and tear with impressive durability. To test the UV/oven-cured catalyzed varnish finish, twenty-six different household chemicals and agents were used. Three cc of each chemical/agent were applied to a test door and covered for a 24-hour period. Then the agent was washed off to determine the effect it had on the finish.

THE RESULTS
Impressive! Homecrest passed each and every test, exceeding all specifications by the Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association, (ANSI/KCMA A161.1-2012).

HOMECREST CABINETRY FINISHING PROCESS
1. Wood Selection – The selection of the finest woods including oak, maple, cherry, and hickory is the essential first step of Homecrest’s finishing process.
2. Sanded to Perfection – Our sanding utilizes an ultra fine grit paper, both with and against the wood grain. This process is completed on a vacuum table, allowing for a wood surface that is free of all dust particles.
3. Stain Application – An environmentally safe stain is evenly applied to all surfaces. This deep penetrating stain is applied for even coverage on all profiles.
4. Removal of Excess Stain – The wood is brushed to remove excess stain, emphasizing the cabinet’s natural wood grain (where applicable).
5. Sanding Sealer – A coat of tough, non-yellowing, sealer is applied to protect the grain from moisture.
6. Drying Process – For added durability, the sealed wood is cured to lock in the beauty of wood.
7. Hand-Sanded – To achieve an ultra-smooth finish, the wood is hand-sanded one last time.
8. Dust Removal – The resulting dust is removed with both manual and automatic processes, which remove loose particles from the surface of the wood.
9. Top-Coat – A second application of a premium quality top-coat is applied to protect the wood from yellowing and other environmental elements.
10. UV/Oven Cure – The top-coat is UV/oven cured to guarantee the strongest, most beautiful finish.
11. Final Inspection – This last, thorough, inspection ensures lasting quality and beauty. Our gift to you is that every cabinet is crafted
