FACTORY PREFINISH: Our Premium 2000 Prefinish is a 12-step operation performed on a 540-ft. prefinish line, which is one of the most sophisticated and advanced prefinishing systems in use throughout the industry. The finish is totally environmentally safe using a combination of water-borne acrylics, ultraviolet sealers, and topcoats, all of which are formaldehyde-free. This line addresses all of the negative properties of water-borne finishes. The prefinish process is applied to all 6 sides of the door, sealing it completely. These doors are prefinished in an in-plant environment by skilled personnel, eliminating all of the field finishing problems. We offer 8 standard polyurethane (equivalent) stain finishes: (TR-6) Clear, Teak, Red, Brown, Dark Brown, Mahogany, Gray, and Walnut. We have 2 standard polyurethane (equivalent) paint finishes: (OP-6) White 2071 and L4000. If our wide color range of standard finishes does not meet your requirements, we will custom color-match your choice of stain or paint.

RUSTIC: An embossed tempered hardboard face with a modulus of Rupture of 5700 PSI. Meets or exceeds ANSI/AHA – 135.4 1982 Standards. Prefinished on our 540-ft prefinish line with a 9-step application to capture the rich inherent beauty of Walnut and Oak veneers. Available in 8 decorator tones: Lite Oak, Oak, Golden Oak, White, Walnut, Classic Gray, Classic Mahogany, and Classic Autumn Oak. Rustic gives you a durable problem-free prefinished door at substantial savings compared to wood-veneered doors.

PRIMING: White standard color. Custom colors by special request. 4 coats of water-based acrylic materials are applied to faces. An equal application of priming material is applied to stiles. Top and bottom rails are clear-coated. Priming is not a sealer. Doors must receive paint manufacturer’s recommended sealer coats applied equally to all 6 sides of doors.

MAXIMUM LITE SIZE OPENINGS: Cut-out areas of half the height of the door must be at least 5-1/2" from any edge or hardware cut out. Cut-out areas the full length of the door must be at least 8" from edge of door and 5-1/2" from edge of hardware cut-out.

There is a charge for this service and it will extend lead-times.

APPLIED DECORATIVE DOOR MOLDING: The applied molding designer series takes the flush door to a new level of fine millwork at a fraction of the cost of stile and rail door products. We offer 6 standard molding profiles and 4 standard plant-on configurations. (Refer to our brochure for standard layout configurations.)
