Dusted Glaze

There are two options for achieving a desired look with Dusted glaze. The first option, “Dusted” Method Solvent Wiped (DMSW), utilizes a spray gun to lightly apply glaze to the edge and face, focusing on the profiled areas. The glaze is allowed to set a short time before wiping with a clean, dry cloth dampened with mineral spirits. The glaze used for this method is unique to this process and is only available on the SolidTone® colors with an * behind them on page R2-1 of our Product Specifications Catalog. This option is only available with Graphite or Sand Dust Glaze.

The second option, “Dusted” Method Dry Wiped (DMDW), also utilizes a spray gun to lightly apply glaze to the edge and face, focusing on the profiled areas. The glaze is allowed to set a short time before it is wiped away with a clean, dry cloth, leaving the glaze build up at the desired level. The glaze used for this method is unique to this process and is only available on the SolidTone® colors with an * behind them on page R2-1 of our Product Specifications Catalog. This option is only available with Sand Dust Glaze.

Both methods will alter the appearance of the original SolidTone® color and cause a variation between the front and back side of the product. Due to the glazing effect, it becomes necessary to apply glaze to all refacing or sheet stock, moldings and accent components.


SolidTone® (Paint) Finish (ST)

SolidTone® (Paint) Finishes (ST) are composed of solid color pigments mixed with our topcoat. A coat of primer is applied first. After drying, the product is lightly scuff-sanded and inspected for defects. If found, defects are filled and the product is lightly scuff sanded and primed again. After the final scuff sanding, we apply the coat of solid color.

Panels that require a glue-up when made in solid wood will be manufactured in Solid MDF or Hybrid Material when ordering a SolidTone® finish. If a panel is ordered with a Rub Through option, then it will be made from Solid Wood.

SolidTone® Plus Finish (STP)

All of our SolidTone® (Paint) Colors are also available with our SolidTone® Plus Finish (STP) option. Our SolidTone ® Plus Finish (STP) includes all the great features of our SoildTone® (ST) Finish PLUS the addition of a clear (no color) top coat. The clear top coat adds an extra layer of protection that can be beneficial in heavy-wear situations or when using darker colors. Additionally, SolidTone Plus delivers a smoother finish on the back of the product and a softer feel overall. Applying the clear finish will slightly change the appearance of the product, so we strongly recommend ordering a color block sample before proceeding with your order. When ordering a color block with SolidTone® Plus, please indicate “SolidTone® Plus” in the Special Instructions column on the order form.

  • Birch – Paint (Solid MDF Center Panel)
  • Poplar – Paint (Solid MDF Center Panel)
