17 STEP Quality Finishing Process…..Quality Controled

1. EKitchen’s Premium Cabinets selects only the finest wood species available. All products move through our state of the art temperature and humidity controlled facility where all surfaces are progressively sanded smooth allowing the utmost control throughout the finishing process. The sanding process starts with 100 grit sandpaper and finishes with 200 grit sandpaper allowing for maximum stain penetration.

2. While sanding, all surfaces are vacuumed for the ultimate removal of small dust, debris and fiber particles.

3. Toner stain is applied to all critical areas assuring of a uniform finish i.e. door edges, face frame edges and “dog legs” (back of side on face frame)

4. A deep penetrating Valspar Stain is then applied to complete the uniform controlled application of color.

5. Completing the stain process requires products to then slowly pass through a flash tunnel allowing for the deepest, richest, and most uniform color integrity.

6. A stained component is then moved through a numerically controlled specially designed oven curing our stains for optimum conditions prior to accepting our sealer.

7. A Dual Cure UV sealer is then applied, in our CNC controlled state of the art spray booth, to all open grained wood surfaces providing the initial step in maximum protection.

8. Sealed product is placed in specially designed high temperature ovens for complete and thorough cure time and process.

9. Once cured all products are then allowed to cool to provide proper surface temperature prior to our specially designed max cure oven tunnel

10. A final pass is done through our Max Cure Oven Tunnel for properly cured surfaces providing the right conditions prior to seal sanding and buffing.

11. All edges and “critical areas”are hand sanded prior to flat line sanding operation

12. All product is then passed through an inline flat line sanding operation

13. Product passes through a buffing operation when done with the sanding and hand sanding processes. Buffing allows for all debris removal, apparent product flow and ultimate smoothness

14. When done with the sanding and buffing stages, all products pass through our inline vacuums to remove all sealer dust and debris for precautionary measures prior to top coating your cabinet components.

15. All product is then passed through our state of the art CNC controlled spray booth applying the programmed amount of Valspar Dual Cure Top Coat

16. Once top coat is applied product is placed in specially designed high temperature ovens for complete and thorough cure time to then finally pass through a UV lamp ultimately curing the Valspar Dual Cure top coat 100% for complete maximum protection and life with your product.

17. Finally all products are then moved through an inspection station with pre-programmed parameters from Valspar labs. All stain formulas and gloss readings are preprogrammed into our state of the art spectro photometers assuring our customers of the same finish every day all of the time.
