Finishes
All Smart Design LLC cabinetry receives an exclusive furniture finishing process, resulting in one of the finest and most durable finishes available in the industry. Preparation is one of the key processes in finishing. All surfaces are hand-sanded to provide a smooth, consistent surface for a stain topcoat. First, a wood conditioner is applied to all surfaces. Next, deep-penetrating hand-sprayed and hand-rubbed stain is added to reveal the beauty of the grain. After everything is air-dried, two high-solid, durable wood sealer coats, followed by two high-solid clear coats, are applied and again all surfaces are hand-sanded between each coat. Ask us for information about the finish styles we offer.
Maintenance
It is not difficult to look after your cabinets. Here are some tips on the best ways to clean and care for your cabinetry. Cleaning: Once your cabinets are installed, wipe down all exteriors and interiors with a damp cloth to remove dust. Complete a small area at a time and wipe dry. You may use this method any time you wish to clean your cabinets. Everyday Care: It is important to wipe up spills and marks as they occur. For kitchen cabinets, give special attention to areas around the sink and avoid dropping damp or wet dish towels over doors. Touch-Up: As careful as you may be, damage to a cabinet could eventually occur. That is why we provide you with a touch-up kit designed for your specific cabinet color and style that will help you with minor repairs to a damaged surface. Our installers will answer any questions you may have. Note: Substantial repairs should only be attempted by professionals.
