Crestwood’s 5-Star Evolution Finish
Crestwood’s 5-Star Evolution Finish is a two-part Italian high performance Polyurethane coating. What does that mean? Crestwood’s finish is a 2 component system, similar to epoxy, in which the polyurethane resins chemically cross-link with a hardener resin to form very strong and cohesive bonds. As such, 2-component polyurethanes dry much faster and are more chemical and moisture resistant than the job-site finishes.
The 5-Star Evolution Finish offer these 5 qualities:
- Superior mar, water, solvent and household chemical resistance (see illustrations
below). - Formaldehyde-free
- Low in HAP’s and VOCs
- Meets or exceeds all Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturing performance standards
- More flexible to show less cracking from wood expansion and contraction
According to the Architectural Woodwork Institute (AWI), Crestwood’s 5-Star evolution finish is more wear, heat, solvent, moisture and stain resistant then the typical conversion varnish used on job-site finishes.
Caring of your Cabinetry
Wood should be dusted regularly with a soft cloth or feather duster. Clean wood with a mild non-alkaline soap (such as dishwashing liquid) and water. Wipe away any grease, spills or handprints with a damp sponge or cloth. Dry immediately with a soft cloth and buff lightly, following the grain.
When cleaning never use liquid detergent, alcohol or chemical base solutions. Never use abrasive sponges or similar.
Only clean using a soft, damp cloth and a solution of 1 part liquid soap and 100 parts water.
Provided it is cared for as described, you cabinets will give you years of good use.
