What are the benefits of water-based lacquers?
Our premium water-based lacquers offer exceptional versatility—they can be applied over nearly any existing coating without triggering reactions or hidden failures that might only surface after the project is complete. This ensures a consistently smooth, refined finish across various surfaces.
What is the expected lifespan of the finish?
Assuming proper care and regular maintenance, the finish should remain flawless for 10 years or longer. However, because our cabinet doors are crafted from solid wood, natural movement along the seams can occur over time. This may appear as a faint, straight line, which is a normal characteristic stemming from the wood’s inherent structure.
What does the warranty cover?
The Sense Five craftsmanship warranty is designed to protect you against failures directly related to our workmanship. Please note that it does not cover issues caused by natural wood movement or a lack of proper maintenance.
Although our products are low VOC, we recognize that airborne particles generated during application can pose health risks. To mitigate this, we use a state-of-the-art HEPA filtration system that captures these particles before venting the filtered air to the exterior, ensuring a safe environment for everyone. It is highly recommended that nobody is in the home during the application process.
Removal & Cleaning
At Sense Five, our process begins with the careful removal of cabinet doors and drawer fronts, followed by a thorough de-greasing of the entire kitchen and the extraction of window panes from their casings.
Masking & Protection
We meticulously mask every surface—including areas not slated for finishing—to create a contamination-free environment. During this phase, incoming air is precisely filtered and extracted through a HEPA system, ensuring pristine conditions throughout the project.
Preparation & Application
Next, we gently scuff-sand the surfaces and apply two coats of premium water-based lacquer primer. Between coats, we perform fine sanding and address any necessary bondo and glazing repairs to achieve a seamless base.
Inspection & Top Coat Application
After rigorous inspections confirm that every detail meets our high standards, we apply two coats of high-quality water-based lacquer top coat, with additional touch-ups as needed to deliver a flawless, upscale finish.
Before the project begins, please ensure that all items are removed from both the cabinets and the surrounding kitchen area. This clear space is essential to provide our team with the necessary workspace for our tools and equipment, helping us work efficiently and safely.
Yes, customization options are available to tailor the look of your cabinetry to match your home’s aesthetic. However, our options are subject to the performance characteristics that ensure the durability of our coatings. While various finishes—including lower sheen options—are available on the market, not all meet the durability standards we require for long-lasting results. For example, a low-sheen finish tends to compromise durability. If you request a low-sheen product, it must be applied using a solvent-based finish, which may not be compatible with what is currently applied to your cabinets. Alternatively, to achieve a low-sheen look without sacrificing durability, you may need to consider exploring new cabinetry options.
We are able to assist with new cabinetry requests as well.
Will I need to be present during the project?
You only need to be present during the initial consultation and sample approval phases. Once we have full access and the necessary approvals, our team will handle the on-site work independently. Rest assured, you will come back to a clean home at the end of each day—aside from the required hoarding for safety and work integrity.
How do you handle unexpected issues or delays?
We strive to complete projects within five business days, but unforeseen challenges—whether due to cabinet fabrication issues or product discrepancies—can occasionally arise. When that happens, we will promptly communicate the situation and the reasons for any additional time needed. We kindly ask that you allow some flexibility in scheduling to accommodate potential adjustments, ensuring that every detail meets our high standards.
