Resilient Finishing System Process and Cabinet Care Information
The finishing systems used on Maryland Kitchen Cabinet’s products are designed to ensure the beauty and durability of our cabinetry. State-of-the-art equipment allows precise sanding, filling and finish coverage of each of our products.
Our Resilient Finishing Systems:
To protect wood doors and face frames: An extremely sophisticated coating is used to offer durability, ease of cleaning and water resistance. A combination of mechanical systems are used to bring out the richness, luster and natural grain definition of the wood, as well as computerized automation to ensure color consistency and surface smoothness. This is a rigorous multi-step process that includes sanding, brushing, cleaning, stain application, computerized oven drying and a catalyzed topcoat to protect and beautify cabinets for years to come.
To protect the interior and exterior: An environmentally responsible multi-step panel finishing system begins with three sanding operations followed by a top and bottom brush cleaning to provide a smooth surface for material adhesion and protect against scratching, fading and moisture.
Cabinet Care:
Remove dust from cabinets frequently with a soft lint-free cloth. The cloth may be slightly dampened with water or a spray type dust remover. Cabinet surfaces may be polished once every few months with a high quality, non-oil based furniture polish. Do not use a paste wax type material, as wax build-up is difficult to remove and will leave a residue that attracts dust and moisture. Polishes containing silicon should not be used. Clean spills immediately. Use a clean cloth and mild soap if necessary. Wipe dry with a clean soft cloth. Do not use detergents, citrus or ammonia based cleaners, steel wool, soap pads or abrasive cleaners. Care should be taken that cabinet finishes are not exposed to heat in excess of 174 degrees Fahrenheit. Do not place or mount small appliances beneath Wall cabinets. The appliances (e.g., coffee makers and toasters) can produce excessive heat, which can damage the cabinet finish.
Maryland Kitchen Cabinet’s products are extremely resistant to stains and surface damage that can be caused by common household chemicals and exceed KCMA and ANSI standards for resistance to stains like coffee, grape juice and moisture.

Wood Species and Characteristics:
Our cabinetry represents the careful selection of woods. While every effort is made to match wood grain as closely as possible, no two pieces of wood are exactly alike, even from the same tree. These differences in natural color and grain mean that each piece will respond differently to the finishing materials used. For example, close-grained woods absorb less and will vary in color from more open-grained pieces from the very same tree. It is these variations that contribute to the beauty and distinction of quality wood products.
Exposure to sunlight, smoke and chemicals may cause some materials to fade or vary from their original color over time. This is why cabinets, doors, drawer fronts and accessories added at a later date may not exactly match cabinets installed now. For the same reasons, door samples or displays may not represent the exact color of cabinets received at the time of shipment. All cleaning agent instructions should also be carefully reviewed before application. Due to changes that occur from natural and environmental factors a cabinet is exposed to over its lifetime, we cannot be responsible for variations that occur in the finish of cabinets as they age.
Maryland Kitchen Cabinets incorporates solid hardwoods and hardwood veneers. These are natural materials with inherent variations. As such, our quality standards establish tolerance ranges for matching the hardwood pieces. Actual samples of hardwoods should be reviewed to establish realistic expectations of variations involving wood grain, color tones, presence of knots and so forth.
