Carter's Cabinet
Shop offers a plethora of
finishes for your enjoyment. They are divided into 4
categories: stains, multi-step stains, paints, and foils. We
also have an abundance of options to help give a unique look to your
cabinets.
Stains:
Alpine, Mesa, Nutmeg, Bordeaux, Chestnut, Espresso, Eucalyptus, Ginger,
Heather Blue, Natural, Autumn, Harvest Gold, Honey, Colonial,
Washington Cherry, and Cordovan
Cleartone
Stains:
Crystal White, Antique White, Classic Burgundy, Creamy Butter, Designer
White, Ebony, Frosty White, Sage, Sandstone, and Chesepeake
Carter's will also do custom stains mixed to your preferences.
Only certain species are selected with certain stains. The
lighter stains are generally used for the blonder woods, while the
darker stains are reserved for the darker woods. A complete
stain library is available of all the woods with all of the finishes
recommended or allowed for that wood by contacting your
salesperson. This is a complex area, and you should be sure
to discuss all of your options.
Multistep Stains:
Sometimes
called antiquing, glazing, or pickling, or bleaching.
Carter's offers white, brown, sable, caramel, and pewter glazes over
the finished above. These tend to alter the appearance of the
finish and enhance the look dramatically.
Paints:
Carter's
Cabinet Shop will paint a 5 piece door but NOT guarantee it.
Talk to your salesperson about this. We can cleartone a 5
piece door if you desire. We prefer to paint MDF.
Our standard color is a Designer White in either a matte or semigloss
sheen. We can paint to any other color, custom mixed and
tinted for your approval. Because we spray our paints, we
cannot use readily available paints. If you tell us to paint
your cabinets Benjamin Moore 123 Linen White, we will not use that
paint, but mix one to match.
Foils:
Available
in: Frosty White Matte, White Satin (our most popular), Antique White
and Embossed White
Finish
Options:
You
can see from above that finish combinations are endless.
Now
lets make it even more complicated by adding the following options:
Distressed finishes for that aged look.
Speckling.
Sheen changes, including low sheen and high gloss.
Heirloom finish - heavy distressing, and only one coat of paint so the
grain shows through the distressing.
