Cabinet Glazing Breaks the Cookie Cutter Mold
Monday, February 11th, 2008
Cabinet glazing has become a trendy element to today’s kitchen cabinet design. Glazing enhances the cabinetry’s profile and details while adding richness and depth to the finish color. For you ladies out there, it is like going to the beauty salon to get highlights added to your hair. Highlights add dimension and life, as does a finish glaze to your kitchen cabinetry. A glazed finish offers character and personality for those seeking something a step above a mass-produced cabinet finish.
The popular look of cabinet glazing has taken on two different approaches. Once, a glaze that adds subtle accents, like a light glaze on a light finish or a darker glaze on a deeper, darker stained finish. This style is hardly noticeable, but adds just enough to provide some dimension to the cabinetry. The second approach in cabinet glazing is to achieve a more dramatic contrast, like a light glaze on a dark stain or a dark glaze on a lighter finish. This styling is very noticeable and quickly transforms the entire look of a kitchen.
Our maple cabinets in an Ivory painted finish offer three glazing choices; Caramel, Chocolate and Alabaster. The rest of our maple finishes are able with the optional Chocolate and Alabaster glazes. These are also available for our cherry cabinet finishes. Add the casual elegance of cabinet glazing to your order, begin by review your options and ordering a sample door.
