Special Finishes

Our Avonlea and Dante painted ranges are beautiful, high quality hardwoods to which a superior quality paint is applied. The grain of the wood is still visible through the painted layer maintaining its integrity.


There are four different finishes available in our Dante and Avonlea painted ranges and it is important to choose very carefully - to get the finish that suits you best. We have provided a small graphic and description of each finish as a preliminary guide. For further details please consult with your chosen Kitchen Stori retailer.

Options

Door with distressed look
Smooth finish

This door has had any naturally occuring knots, cracks or splits filled, leaving behind a smooth, uniform texture. This door does, however, still feature a certain amount of wood grain through the painted surface. Painted doors with a smooth finish will feel at home in either a contemporary or a traditional environment..

Door with distressed look
Smooth finish with distressing

This door has also had any naturally occuring knots, cracks or splits filled to leave a smooth finish, which is then rubbed down at the hard edges of the door to leave a 'rubbed-through' or 'distressed' look. Creates an 'aged' look and feel.

Door with distressed look
Character finish

Knots, cracks and splits are left unfilled and vary in size from door to door to create a kitchen that is full of character and looks like it's always been there.

Door with character and distressed look
Character finish with distressing

Knots, cracks and splits are left unfilled and vary in size from door to door. Hard edges are then rubbed down to leave a 'rubbed-through' or 'distressed' look. This creates an 'aged' look and feel.
