Christchurch new installation carried out in Cambridgeshire by Paul Ian Barber
Specification:
Christchurch kitchens are unprimed. The first job is to apply the adhesion primer to all areas of bare wood. The reason we use the adhesion primer is not just for the adhesion it also acts as a stain block. Tulip wood which the framework is made from can sometimes stain through the finished paint film we call this tanning. We then rub down the complete kitchen fill and make good where required and apply an undercoat if required. Flat down to a smooth finish we then apply two top coats of furniture paint mixed in any colour of your choice. The final job is to apply a finishing oil to the internal parts of the cabinets including the drawer boxes and shelves as they are unsealed oak veneer, This can also be a good quality furniture lacquer.
