Rub-Thru selectively removes the top finish layer in areas where natural wear would occur over time — around edges, corners, and raised profiles. The result is a soft, lived-in look that reveals the wood or base coat beneath, creating subtle contrast and a genuine sense of history.
Distressing goes a step further, intentionally adding surface texture — nicks, worn spots, and subtle imperfections — that replicate years of use and love. It's a hands-on technique that gives each door its own unique personality.
Vintage Finishing combines elements of both to achieve a complete aged aesthetic. It's the full effect — a door that looks like it's been part of the home for generations, with all the charm and none of the wait.
For homeowners and designers looking to add character and warmth, our rub-thru, distressing, and vintage techniques deliver an authentic aged appearance that transforms any cabinet door.
At Integrity Cabinets, the beauty is in the details. Our finishing techniques are what transform quality cabinetry into something truly distinctive — adding depth, character, and a custom look that sets your space apart.
