Permalane Finishing System
Each door is protected by our exclusive Permalane finishing system. During this comprehensive 9-step process, our craftspeople apply quality stains, catalyzed sealers and a top coat to the door in controlled factory environment. Fine hand-sanding occurs throughout the process, and detailed hand-rubbing after the last finish coat. The resulting finish accentuates the natural beauty of the wood and the stain color; gives the door a satin feel; and provides protection from the elements.
