WOOD DOOR FINISHING PROCESS
Pacific Crest Industries takes great pride in its wood door finishes. It's a scientific process with simple goals; provide long-lasting durability while maintaining environmental responsibility.
You have choices. Select your wood preference then choose from natural clear coat, to glazed finishes to the warmth and richness of our opaque based stains from our Villa Collection. Need a custom color? Consult with your Bellmont Cabinetry dealer on the details of our custom stain program.
We utilize the best of both worlds with the craftsmanship of hand sanding and detailing coupled with state-of-the-art automated application. It starts with proper hand and machine sanding. Next, the base color layer is built up by either spray application, hand wiped processes, or a combination of both, depending on the stain color. Finally multiple layers of our protective clear top coat are applied with an automated system that cures the finish with heated ovens.
Our environmentally sensitive procedures and coatings contribute to our Environmental Stewardship Program certification. We utilize Sherwin-Williams stains and their extremely durable catalyzed conversion varnish top coat. They are known for their industry leading technology and commitment to the environment. The conversion varnish top coat boasts no reportable hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) and has extremely low emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

ALDER STAINS Alder, or Red Alder as it is often called, grows in the Pacific Coast areas of the US and Canada. Alder has a fine, smooth, straight grain with random mineral streaks and mild color variation. Alder tends to be 'amber' with age. Although it is classified as a hardwood species, it is softer than woods such as oak and maple. Alder trees are smaller in diameter and height and have a higher concentration of branches, resulting in more character pin knots. Also, due to the smaller tree size, Alder veneer panels will show a higher quantity of 'flitches' or seams, per face. Pacific Crest Industries takes great care in combining high quality select hardwoods with the best finishing techniques. Slight color inconsistency between the finished product and an existing sample may occur due to the inherent graining, density, and raw base color of the selected hardwood. This is not considered a defect, but merely the result of applying pigmented colors on natural woods.
