Glazed vs. Painted Finishes
What is the difference between paint and glaze?
Depth & Surface Aesthetics
Paint is an opaque solid color. A glaze is a semi-transparent layer applied over the base paint or stain; it is wiped off but remains in the profiles and corners to highlight the door's architectural details.
Painted finishes offer solid, opaque color; glazing adds a semi-transparent layer to highlight profiles.
