1. Wood Selection \u2013<\/em> Kahle\u2019s purchases the highest grade of lumber available.\u00a0 The wood is then hand selected for color and grain pattern uniformity.<\/span><\/p>

2. Getting Finish Where it Needs to be \u2013<\/em> Kahle\u2019s component parts are designed and engineered to allow finish materials to penetrate and protect where needed.\u00a0 Door style profiles are beveled to allow finish to flow underneath exposed areas to create a protective barrier.\u00a0 Most door center panel raises are stained prior to door assembly.<\/span><\/p>

3. Hand Sanding \u2013<\/em> After machine sanding, all parts to be finished are meticulously hand sanded on down draft tables, eliminating as much residual dust as possible.\u00a0 Cross grain marks are removed providing a uniform stain platform.<\/span><\/p>

4. <\/span><\/em>Toner Stain \u2013<\/em> A number of Kahle\u2019s stains are achieved through the use of a toner.\u00a0 Toner is a spray pigment applied to help maintain color consistency and uniformity.\u00a0 At Kahle\u2019s, a toner stain is always followed by a hand rubbed stain.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

5. Hand Rubbed Stain \u2013<\/em> Stain is carefully hand applied and then hand wiped and rubbed to accentuate the beauty in the innate grain of the wood.<\/span><\/p>

6. Color Consistency \u2013<\/em> Company retained standards are maintained and each job is checked against them to guarantee color consistency.<\/span><\/p>

7. Seal Coat \u2013<\/em> A catalyzed clear varnish seal coat, specially formulated for moisture resistance, is hand sprayed on individual pieces, one at a time.\u00a0 Special attention is given to areas such as end grain where additional coverage may be necessary to properly seal against moisture.<\/span><\/p>

8. Curing \u2013<\/em> Sealed items are placed into a high heat oven room to cure completely.<\/span><\/p>

9. Sealer Sanding \u2013<\/em> Upon curing, the sealer is hand sanded to remove raised wood grain which develops when the sealer is applied.\u00a0 The hand sanding performed here provides a smooth surface ready to accept a top coat.<\/span><\/p>

10. Dust Removal \u2013<\/em> Air and \u201ctack\u201d cloths are used to remove fine dust particles which develop during the sanding process.<\/span><\/p>

11. Topcoat \u2013<\/em> A layer of environmentally friendly catalyzed varnish topcoat is hand applied.\u00a0 Kahle\u2019s topcoat contains built in ultraviolet inhibitors to minimize fading or \u201cyellowing\u201d.\u00a0 Along with revealing a silky smooth feel, Kahle\u2019s topcoat has been formulated to provide maximum resistance to dents, scuffing, moisture, and mild cleaning agents.<\/span><\/p>

12. Final Cure \u2013<\/em> Topcoated materials are quickly moved into a high heat oven room to cure, completing the chemical cross linking that is needed to ensure one of the most durable finishes in the industry.<\/span><\/p>

13. Finish Room Inspection \u2013<\/em> When moved from the finish room to a staging area, each component is inspected for color and finish quality.<\/span><\/p>

14. <\/i><\/span>Final inspection \u2013<\/i> A final inspection is performed on all finished products.\u00a0 Each cabinet and accessory is inspected and hand polished for a guaranteed smooth finish.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/div>

Note:\u00a0 Please note that the above steps are applied to most finishes.\u00a0 Painting, glazing, distressing, etc. adds to or modifies the above step accordingly.\u00a0 For further questions, please feel free to contact your local dealer or sales representative.<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
