Wood-Mode craftspeople perform a painstaking hand-rubbing process. It¡¯s a unique procedure that has been developed over the last half century, a technique that has made them America¡¯s most respected custom cabinet manufacturer.

Many steps are involved: fine hand-sanding of the topcoat; rubbing with fine steel wool; a hand application of paste wax; and finally, a hand buffing to create the smoothest, richest patina imaginable.

In addition to our wide array of standard wood finishes, we can also customize colors to match your d¨¦cor. This means no Wood-Mode color or finish ever becomes obsolete. Discontinued finishes can be reproduced, so you can always color match additional cabinetry, even after decades have gone by.

Finally, Wood-Mode offers an exciting selection of gloss or matte finish laminates and opaque finishes in a palette of over 50 colors. You can even blend wood with laminates and opaques to satisfy your personal tastes.

When you select modernday, you are getting the finest semi-custom cabinetry available. A product of Wood-Mode, Brookhaven is an ideal blend of toughness and beauty. In fact, all of Wood-Mode¡¯s vast experience and skill have gone into creating Brookhaven - built-to-order cabinetry at a less than custom price.

Wood-Mode starts with a deep-penetrating stain. Over this they apply a baked-on sealer and catalytic varnish-for a protective barrier up to 60% deeper than other manufacturers¡¯. Finally they hand-buff the surface. The result? A satiny-smooth, easy-to-clean finish that brings out all the beauty of the wood grain¡­and provides superior protection against scratches, stains, and household chemicals.
