Each cabinet is carefully finished to maximize both its beauty and durability. Stains, glazes, highlights, and distressing are all applied by hand. And our exclusive, specially formulated top-coat protects against moisture and household chemicals and locks in rich, vibrant color.
Hand-Crafting The Most Durable Finishes
![Cabinetry Finishing Process](https://www.medallionatmenards.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/doorNumbers-400x790.jpg)
- Each cabinet is meticulously hand sanded for a smooth, even finish.
- Stains are applied by hand to highlight the natural beauty of the wood.
- Professional-grade varnishes include a catalyzed conversion sealer that’s more durable than lacquer to lock in a rich, vibrant color.
- Glazes and highlights are applied by hand, enhancing the unique design, wood grain and finish of each door.
- Top-coat adds a layer of depth and provides additional protection from household cleaning products and makes finishes more resistant to yellowing and UV rays.

Trend-Forward Paint
We offer a spectrum of both trend-forward and traditional paint colors, all with Medallion’s uncompromised durability. Unlike water-based paints, our true enamel paints are 100% opaque, and applied thicker, which means you won’t see wood grain through the paint.
