Kitchen Cabinetry: Glazing Puts the Finish to the Finish

Glazing is a coating process that can transform an average kitchen into something quite special when heirloom quality cabinets are the focal point. The glazing (coating) process involves a transparent coat to enhance the colors while accentuating the natural attributes of your selected wood grain. You will find that nothing equals the appearance of glaze maple cabinets as it gives custom kitchen cabinets a notably high-end, old world and antiqued look.

What's Involved?
Glazing involves the application of a watered down layer of paint on the surface of the cabinet. The paint forms an semi-translucent layer over the existing paint or stain whereas some areas of the paint are darker than others. As a result, the finish of a glazed kitchen cabinet looks worn and aged.

Depending on your preference, you can expect cabinets with a subtle to dramatic look that will be based on the complexity of a cabinet door design. This look is usually more pronounced on complex door styles as the glaze collects in the corners and architectural accents. With a simpler design, you will notice that glazing will create a more subdued and textured appearance that brings out the grains of your wood selection.

Glazed and antique kitchen cabinets are becoming more popular as luxury cabinetry features are becoming commoditized. It is no longer necessary to pay a king's ransom to obtain the glazed maple kitchen cabinets of your dreams.

You will find that nothing equals the appearance of glaze maple cabinets as you prepare to look after them until the next generation. Who wouldn't love the look of solid maple cabinets featuring a glazing over a rich coffee latte finish with a classic routed and beveled center.
