Techniques
Wellborn uses certain techniques to achieve design features of cabinetry. The results of these techniques are intentional and are not
considered to be defects on a Wellborn product. Wellborn Cabinet, Inc. makes no warranty on the design features created by these
techniques. The following are examples of these techniques.
Burnishing
A technique where the profile edges have been brushed with a dark glaze to create an antiqued effect.
Carved Edges
A technique where small areas of the wood surface are chiseled out on door edges and corners to create a high level of worn look.
Dry Brush Glaze
A technique applying a very dark stain to imitate distressing on the surface of the wood.
Medium Dents
A physical technique of randomly striking the wood surface with a tool to create indentations that mimic the look of aged wood.
Medium Dents are larger than Worm Holes and will collect a glaze in varying amounts that range from being highly visible to
unnoticeable from the finish when applied.
Rasping
A physical technique using a metal rasp to run over the edges and raised details to mimic severe wear.
Rub Thru
A sanding technique used to randomly expose an undercoat of natural wood tone on corners and edges.
Small Dents
A physical technique of randomly striking the wood surface with a tool to create indentations that mimic the look of aged wood. Small
Dents are larger than Worm Holes and will collect a glaze in varying amounts that range from being highly visible to unnoticeable from
the finish when applied.
Spatter
A technique where a transparent color is flicked across the surface, producing inconsistent spatter on the painted surface.
Worm Holes
A physical technique of randomly placing small round holes that mimic the look of insect penetration which occurs naturally in trees
and harvested wood. Worm Holes are smaller than Small Dents and will collect a glaze in varying amounts that range from being highly
visible to unnoticeable from the finish when applied.
Finish Techniques
Finish Techniques will not match at cuts or corners created during installation. This variance is what creates the individual uniqueness
of each cabinet and is not considered a reason for product replacement. For detailed information regarding the availability of finish
techniques, see the specification catalog.
Antique
The Antique Technique is created by using various techniques which include burnishing, rub through, small dents, and worm holes.
Each piece will vary in the amount of sanding and techniques applied. Due to the random placement of these techniques, every door
will be unique and no two doors will be identical; therefore, the effects will vary within individual doors and throughout the entire room.
These features are acceptable for the Antique Technique and are not considered defects. Therefore, these features are not covered
under warranty.
Carriage
The Carriage Technique is created by using various techniques which include rub through, small dents, and worm holes. Each piece will
vary in the amount of sanding and techniques applied. Due to the random placement of these techniques, every door will be unique
and no two doors will be identical; therefore, the effects will vary within individual doors and throughout the entire room. These features
are acceptable for the Carriage Technique and are not considered defects. Therefore, these features are not covered under warranty.
