Ralph Lauren Re-Introduction at Home Depot

Ralph Lauren's famous colour selections and product
line has been re-introduced at Home Depot this fall
featuring some nice blues, classic whites and designer
chosen rustic shades.

For those of you that remember, RL Paints were
first brought into Canada by Sherwin Williams
in 1996, by a team of people at SW including
myself and became a very fast selling and well
recognized brand until licensing rights were
acquired by ICI/Glidden in 2001.

It will be interesting to see what happens to
the brand support this time around...

There are some fantastic colours and names
for those who are inspired to get that
Ralph Lauren look to their homes.
And, of course Indigo Denim, Antique
Leather and Faux Metallic has been
included.

Sprayed with Air-Assisted Airless
@ 800 psi Fine Finish Tip .210

Topcoated with Akvaline 240 Clear
with Gravity Gun 28psi.

Hardware: Richelieu Surface Mount

Great thanks to Tony and Lisa B.!

Northampton Project Burlington,ON

Another completed project door up close
refinished in Cloud White CC-40 with Amerock
Oil Rubbed Hardware mounted.

The biggest challenge we faced on this set
of oak profiled doors was severe tannin bleed
by a DIY product from Benjamin Moore that
had absolutely zero holdout...we remedied the situation
with AcromaPro Bernyl Universal Primer and
Spray finished on top with AkvaTopp Waterborne
Lacquer, a proven system which will resist tannin
bleed through on white cabinetry.

Finish: AcromaPro S/G Lacquer 50 Sheen

Great thanks to the Hounslow Family !

Headon Forest Kitchen: Cloud White with Oil Rubbed Hardware

Colour: CC-40 Cloud White
Cabinet ReFinish: Acroma Pro S/G Lacquer 50 Sheen
Walls: SW 6134 Netsuke

We added a nice custom wood hood with undermount
exhaust by Broan. Lighting will be changed once client
settles into the home (new owner).

Hardwood Flooring by Mac of Burlington, ON.


Cost to Refinish:  Under $2200.00 !
Counter Tops: We Are Tops - Polished Black Granite with Fleck

For Client: Custom 5" Under Cabinet Ballast Profile

Attractive profile done on 5" engineered maple
with a dish and double ogee coving bit...

If you are adding some under counter lighting
it's a nice effect to hide the cords and light boxes
with an eye-catching ballast.

We can do 'em in Maple or Poplar for
a reasonable lineal foot price - painted or stained.

Booking for Mid October forward...

We are still taking bookings prior
to the fall holiday season up to Christmas...

We are now booking Oct 15th forward...

Look for pictures on our latest installations
and refinishing projects !

your project ideas...

Lacquer vs Paint for Cabinetry..Why use a Lacquer Finish ?

Waterborne Lacquer has the following advantages:

• Faster dry time and turnaround
• Non Yellowing vs. Hybrids which still yellow over time
• Better mar resistance to common kitchen spills
• Resistance to Scalding Coffee vs. NONE with Trim Paint
• Extremely low voc, some trim paints are not even Leeds 9 approved
• Lacquer is more resistant to chipping than paint
• Lacquer adheres tighter than paint
• Unlimited colour choices...18,000 and counting...
• Super Safety Profile, easy to work with
• Low odor...coconut fragrance to freshly sprayed lacquer

Headon Forest Refinishing Project

Two different areas in a home with two
different looks and approaches to colour....

The HC-71 Hasbrouck Brown looks effective
when combined with nickel hardware, wheareas
a clean modern white helps the built-ins retain
a classic refined look in the living area.

We also custom cut and installed a full wall of
Shaker wainscotting...very economical way to
hide builder drywall imperfections and give
the entranceway an accent wall. Finished
in CC-40 Cloud White mixed in Becker Acroma
semi-gloss lacquer.

Last but not least we custom built an
in-wall bookshelf unit and added 8 Windsor
Profile Doors with new Hardware again
finished in a Cloud White CC-40.
This is where our CNC Rover 24 really shines
as we had doors shaped and the general cut
layouts done in under 1 hour, then it's just
a matter of light sanding and spray finishing
in shop and installing at the client's home.!


Great thanks to Mike and Kelly for the project !
Also thanks to Tom C. at Biesse with our fine
adjustments for CNC cut layouts.
