Special Finish Processes
Rosebud Manufacturing prides itself on our numerous finish and wood specie options. It is our mission to keep our dealers and end consumers completely satisfied with the Rosebud products they receive. Therefore, it is important to understand the characteristics of wood and how they are affected by the different finish processes used. Some areas that are important for you to understand in relation to finish are listed below. 

Natural Finish
Cabinets with a natural finish will have a clear sealer and top coat applied. There is not a stain base coat. This natural finish allows you to enjoy the natural variations in the wood. Hardwoods hay many color variations, grain patterns and markings that are inherent in each species. These variations should be thought of as the beauty of the wood rather than defects or imperfections. 
Unfinished
We realize that sometimes our dealers and end consumers need to order unfinished cabinets. Rosebud will supply cabinetry without stain, sealer or top coat applications if requested, but cannot warranty these cabinets. 
Glazing and Highlights
It is important to remember that these specialty finishes are hand applied and have different affects on each door style applied to. The technique of glazing will leave different color variations throughout the surface and detailing of the door. A glazing compound is applied to the entire surface of the door and drawer front and then hand wiped. Highlighting is also hand applied in the grooved details of the door, creating a unique look. Rosebud follows industry standards when using a glaze or highlighted finish. 
Painted
Painted cabinets have become very popular. Rosebud offers painted cabinets in our Supreme line only. Painted colors have prior approval. Please contact a Rosebud sales representative today for more information.

Rosebud's specifications are designed to comply with or exceed the standards set by KCMA and ANSI A161.1 for performance and construction.
