PAINT FINISH
A painted finish or painted finish with glaze product is a classic look for cabinetry. This finish is applied in the
same manner and with the same quality standards that all of our other finishes are applied. It is important for you
to understand that the product you have received has unique characteristics that differ from other finishes, but
these are not considered quality defects.
There are three general characteristics of painted finishes that differ from other finishes:
1. The cabinetry you have selected is made from high-quality hardwoods and hardwood veneers. These
hardwoods, as natural products, have some seasonal movement created by changes in climatic conditions.
This is normal in quality wood products. This movement can cause small, hairline cracks. These hairline
cracks are normal and are not considered quality defects.
2. With use of the select hardwoods and veneers, some of the grain pattern and wood characteristics
(mineral streaks, pitch pockets, checks and pin knots) as well as seams and joints will remain visible through
the painted finish. These are normal and are not considered quality defects.
3. As the cabinets age there may be a slight mellowing of the color. This is affected by exposure to natural and
artificial light. This is a characteristic of painted furniture and cabinetry. This mellowing of the color is normal
and is not considered a quality defect.
As a natural element, wood is in a constant state of expansion and contraction. This movement can cause small,
hairline cracks in the wood joints of face frames and door/drawer fronts. These are normal and will not affect the
integrity of the cabinet or finish. Some of the wood grain pattern and wood characteristics (mineral streaks, pitch
pockets, checks and pin knots) as well as seams and joints will remain visible through the painted finish. The color
mellows slightly with age; this is affected by exposure to natural and artificial light. These characteristics are normal
and not considered warranty defects. Our Adams, Parker, Concord, Copenhagen, Pacifica, Towne and Mission
painted door styles will receive a High Density MDF Center Panel. This quality panel will produce a consistent,
smooth and beautiful painted finish.
GLAZING OVER PAINT
The profiles of doors, drawer fronts and large mouldings are highlighted by hand for an “artisan” finish, meaning no
two doors or drawers will look exactly identical. The highlight glazing affects only the areas where the glaze is applied.
The rest of the product, frames, end panels and the center panels of doors do not change color.
Understanding the differences in painted finishes is important. Cracks, visible wood grain, wood characteristics and
color changes are normal and not considered warranty defects or the basis for replacement or credit. Neither we,
the manufacturer, nor the dealer will replace product for these reasons.

NOTICE:
Options to upgrade to color matching melamine or veneered plywood are available. If you are unsure of what color or material the inside of your
cabinet is, please consult your kitchen designer. It is common to mix different finish colors and materials to the interior of cabinets throughout a single kitchen.
