Varnishing wood is an operation that not only protects the material but also enhances its beauty and durability. But which type of varnish should you choose? Choosing the right finish depends on several factors, such as the type of wood, the end use of the furniture and the desired aesthetic effect. Let’s find out more about how to varnish wood and treatments for its quality.
Varnishing wood offers numerous advantages for both the material and the aesthetic result.
- Protection: the paint creates a protective barrier against moisture, scratches, stains and weathering
- Aesthetics: the finish enhances the wood grain and allows very different visual effects, from glossy to matt, from natural to coloured
- Durability: well-varnished wood lasts longer and requires less maintenance
The main types of wood paint
There are different types of wood paint, each with specific characteristics to enhance the material and define the desired final effect. A wood varnish can therefore be chosen in the realisation of each piece of furniture:
- water as the most environmentally friendly and safe, solvent-free choice
- solvent that offers greater strength and durability, ideal for furniture subject to wear and tear
- water-based stain that colours the wood without covering the grain, maintaining its natural appearance
- lacquer that offers a glossy, durable finish, perfect for modern, designer furniture
Among the many types of wood coatings, it is important to make the right choice according to the individual requirements of the project. Moreover, every product used has an impact on the sustainability of the production process: being able to choose products that have less and less impact is one of Dandì’s long-standing goals.
