Factory Finishing
Field Finishing
  • Factory controlled conditions
  • Mechanically applied preparation producing superior color, consistency & uniformity door to door
  • Easier handling due to hard finish
  • Automatically poly-bagged
  • Environmentally friendly*
  • Full Lifetime Warranty
  • 17 Designer Colors (Standard) or custom to match sample
  • Significant $$ savings over field finishing**
  • Dusty, uncontrolled environment
  • Applied by hand. Poor surface. Often produces blotchy stain-take, with "starves" or "runs" in top coat
  • Raw wood scratches and dents easier when shipped unfinished
  • No Poly-bag protection unless specified
  • Solvent based disposal?
  • No warranty on field finish from any Door manufacturer. Possibly 1 year from painter
  • More costly than factory finishing**
Better finish, Easier to handle, Better Warranty, Less Expensive =
Better Value.
Less consistency, damaged easier, little if any warranty, more expensive =
More Hassle.
 

*When using Marshfield DoorSystems Enviroclad UV® factory finish, being environmentally friendly starts at the factory. Marshfield DoorSystems utilizes water based stains, and UV cured topcoats, and meets or exceeds chemical and abrasion testing for AWI System TR-6, per AWI section 1500.

**Actual savings will vary depending upon method of application, stain vs. clear, etc.

Note: Finishers who are truly aware of the WDMA / AWI standards, and manufacturer's door preparation requirements, admit, "to finish a door to those standards would actually cost in excess of $100 per door." This was an actual quote from a well-known finisher in Burlington, NC. The quote followed a demonstration by Marshfield DoorSystems on proper preparation according to the standards. The standards are there to protect the investment of the owner. Factory finishing is your best assurance that those standards will be met. While manufacturer's applications and materials may vary, the overall consistency, durability, warranty, and savings always combine to provide the best value for the contractor, architect, and owner. "Why would you do it (factory finishing) any other way?" a recent quote from an architect in Fayetteville, NC.
