Air Drying Varnish in Furniture coating
Furniture coating varnish is an antiquated application, valued for its capacity to guard and beautify the natural beauty of wood. Where paint obscures the wood grain, varnish leaves a transparent, hard finish which does not conceal the natural appearance, color, and texture of the material. It is thus used on expensive furniture, antiques, and any product in which wood is the prominent visual element. Protection is the main function of furniture varnish.
It creates a hard, hard finish on the surface that protects the wood from a host of possible damages. It is strongly scratch-, scuff-, and abrasion-resistant to regular use, keeping the furniture in mint condition.
It acts as a great big barrier against water or spilled liquids that would normally seep through lumber. The liquid can seep through and cause stains, swelling and warping.
This is especially important for dining or coffee tables and cabinets that will be touched by food and liquids for an extensive period. The finish will withstand the degrading effects of UV light that break-down wood and darkens its color over time. Varnishes come in so many varieties of finishes, from high-gloss that have a mirror effect, to matte and satin with less sheen but a more natural appearance. The look it is possible to create can vary quite a lot as furniture makers and restorers can adjust the finish exactly to suit the look they are trying to create. Varnishes can be brushed on, sprayed on or wiped on so preparation is important to ensure a smooth, even, bubble free application. The finish is a gorgeous and long-lasting finish that protects and enhances the furniture making it a treasured resource.
