by | Mar 17, 2017 | Construction and Maintenance

Kitchen remodeling is a very exciting time. It is also very expensive, and something that should keep you happy for many years. When it comes to finishing your custom kitchen cabinets in San Antonio, you have a lot of different choices. Common finishes include stains, paints, and glass inserts.

Stain

Stain is great at keeping the beautiful wood grain that comes from high quality cabinetry. It does come in a number of different shades, this can help bring out the beauty of the type of wood you chose. It also allows you to fit your décor choices. For a light and bright kitchen, a light wood such as pine, stained with a light colored stain would coordinate well.

Paint

If you are looking for a smooth finish, without the grain texture, paint is a good option. For cabinets made out of a more cost conscience material, it can hid mild imperfections well. It comes in a wide range of colors, so it can fit in any décor. It is important to use high quality paint to avoid pealing, this is a possible issue right where the cabinets close together. The kitchen is also a place that needs regular cleaning, so the paint needs to be able to hold up to many wipe downs.

Glass Inserts

Some kitchen designs rely on giving an open feeling, including the cabinetry. This can really enhance the feeling of a kitchen. You will still have to pick a stain or paint, as the entire cabinet set will not be made of glass, however the glass is a big enough part of the cabinet to make it a finish choice. The glass can be clear, to showcase your kitchenware, or it can be etched to hide the cabinet’s content. Glass can be used to add a great delicacy to your kitchen décor.
