Cabinet Glazing and Finishing in Cary
Home » Service Areas » Cary Cabinet Refacing » Glaze Vs Accent Finish
The finish you choose for your kitchen cabinetry can set the tone for your cabinets – bright white for a modern look, deep brown for a traditional setting – but how do you know which of the different types of finishing options to choose? Our kitchen cabinet refacing company in Cary offers professional cabinet glazing and accenting – two very unique processes that result in different, but equally beautiful results, so you can choose the right one for your home.
Glaze Finishes
A glaze finish is a thin, semi-transparent coating that hand-applied to cabinets that have already been lacquered, stained, or painted. After it’s applied, the excess is cleaned off, leaving a bit of the glaze in the spaces of the wood, such as the molding, edges, engravings, and imperfections. This tints the cabinet door a different shade while adding depth and texture.
This application works well with rustic, country, or antique design schemes as it creates a worn “shabby chic” look.
Accent Finishes for Cabinets
Accent finishes are similar to glazes, but rather than brushing on the coating, it’s applied with a finer brush or pen directly into the carving, molding, or imperfections of the wood. This allows the original lacquer or stain to be left in its original state while still adding the highlights and depth that a glaze offers.
Accent finishes are more precise and less rustic, offering a more classic, luxurious feel of an antique home.
Choosing Cabinet Cures for Your Cabinet Glazing
At Cabinet Cures of the Triangle, we only use high-quality, water-based custom glazes and ensure their durability by applying a crystal clear top coat. Then, each one is inspected to guarantee the results meet your expectations and look exactly how you want.
We are dedicated to providing the best quality service, so whether you’re choosing to glaze newly refaced cabinetry or you want to have accenting added to a custom construction, you’ll love the results!
