KAAT and slab doors: Showplace outsources select door styles, which are ordered as “Kitchen at a Time” (KAAT) and are not produced in our door plant. As most of our KAAT doors are veneered slab doors, they may show stain differently than some of our other non-KAAT door styles, especially if a Character stain is chosen; for this reason, if a KAAT door style is chosen, you must sell the job off of a KAAT door sample or it will not be covered under our warranty.
Veneered flat center panel doors: Door styles that use a 1/4” veneered flat center panel will display a degree of finish color variation from the solid-wood frame. This variation is considered normal and can occur in all finishes, including Natural.
Because wood is a natural substance, many factors can cause different parts of the wood to accept finish differently. These factors are out of our control, and for this reason, finish variations on flat panel doors are not covered under the Showplace warranty. For less variation, order a door style with a solid center panel. Any five-piece header (FPH) that is less than 7” high will have 1/4” thick hardwood plywood center panel, and as such will display a degree of stain color variation.
Hand application: Showplace specialty finishes are the result of hand crafting. As such, variation is to be expected, and is in fact considered an attribute. This includes glazed finishes with stain or paint, any of the Vintage processes or distressed offerings, and different components of the Weathered process. Such variations are not covered by the Showplace warranty.
Unfinished: Unfinished orders are supplied without any stain, sealer or topcoat. Showplace cannot warranty finishes that are applied by the customer.
