Paint techniques can make or break a project and Bartels offers only the smoothest painted surfaces. Factory quality is an understatement when the final product is complete, often confused for a solid plastic or stone, the painted doors at Bartels are painted and sanded multiple times in a "waterfall environment" to prevent dust particles from interfering in the smooth finish. Just like cars, this process creates layers so scratches are less likely to occur and if they do are scratches are less noticeable.

The laminate surface is a multi-layer material. Decorative paper webs are combined with hard resins then put under high heat and pressure. As a result, the laminate finish is provided with a highly scratch resistant surface.
