Finishing Touches
|
|
Typically, Karona wood doors are shipped unfinished. Your contractor will
finish them to ensure proper color blending with your woodwork, floors or furniture.
(Preparatory sanding is also handled by your contractor to eliminate any handprints
or other marks picked up on the job site.)
To give your doors a more high-end, furniture-quality finish, factory prefinishing
is also an option. Karona will sand, stain, and varnish your doors to specifications
provided by you, your architect or your contractor.
Karona's multi-step factory finishing program helps reduce the high cost of
inconsistent field finishing problems. Our finish materials are water-based,
so they are environmentally friendly and meet the strictest requirements local,
state, and national environmental protection standards.

appearance and/or performance you need.
These high-quality doors for business or institutional use, are available in all our
