FACTORY PREFINISH: Our Premium 2000 Prefinish is a 12-step operation performed on a 540-ft. prefinish line. This 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 stain finishes: (TR-6) Clear, Teak, Red, Brown, Dark Brown, Mahogany, Gray, and Walnut. We have 2 standard polyurethane 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.
