Opaque Paints

The difference is in the details, and Brookhaven’s multi-step finishing process is rich with details. The highly effective mix of hand craftsmanship and machine finishing produce the highest quality cabinetry for your home. It’s this multi-step finishing process which makes Opaque painted finishes so durable—they will not chip like other painted cabinets as a result of the many finishing steps, and the controlled environment in which they are manufactured.

All finish processes for Brookhaven cabinetry start with multiple hand and machine sanding, after which physical distressing can be added to produce an antiqued look. Brookhaven uses a process of wetting the wood, raising the grain, as well as a one-and two-step hand staining process, resulting in deep colors with enhanced wood grain and beauty. Opaque finishes receive a high-quality primer, sealer, and catalyzed color coats to ensure beauty and lifetime durability; extensive hand-sanding operations are performed between each color application. All Brookhaven finishes go through five or six oven-baked drying operations which ensure long-lasting quality and durability as well.

The environmentally-controlled finishing process is designed to meet high quality standards for Brookhaven cabinetry. The finish area filters the air to maintain positive air pressure, resulting in dust-free, high-quality finishes on the cabinets; 20 minute air-dry times separate each finish application; sanding dust is removed with a state-of-the-art vacuum dust collector; topcoats with ultraviolet screen inhibitors are applied, which reduces scuffing, dents, moisture, UV fading, and most household chemicals; fumes in the finishing exhaust are captured and destroyed, rather than being released into the environment.

Best of all, you can choose from a wide range of colors when you purchase Brookhaven cabinetry. Their opaque paints come in many shades of white—how many times have you struggled to find just the right shade of white? You will also find different shades of blue and grey, green, yellow, purple, red—Brookhaven allows you to choose from almost every color of the rainbow; if you select from their Wood-Mode line only, you can color-match anything—perfect for a custom job where you need to match existing cabinetry and/or décor. 

After you have chosen your opaque paint color, you can continue to customize your cabinetry with finishes like glazing, vintage brushing, and distressing packages to enhance the painted look. You can create modern or antique looks; create a focal point by using one opaque paint and finishing glaze in one area of the room, or use in different areas around the same room to create a cohesive look.
