Furniture finishes – oils, varnishes, varnishes

Finishes for solid wood furniture play an essential role in protecting and enhancing its appearance. Solid wood furniture, due to its beauty and durability, is a popular choice residential complexes, residential projects AND residential complexes. However, without a proper finish, wood can suffer damage from moisture, wear or exposure to UV rays. The finishes, in addition to protecting the wood, also give it a pleasant aesthetic appearance, highlighting its texture and natural shades.

There are three main types of finishes used for solid wood furniture: oils, LAKES AND Boys. Each of these has distinct characteristics that suit different types of wood. Oils, for example, penetrate the structure of the wood and provide natural protection, allowing the wood to breathe. Lacquers, on the other hand, form a protective film on the surface, offering greater resistance to scratches and humidity. Stains are used to color the wood, highlighting its natural structure without covering it completely.

The use natural oils for finishing solid wood furniture has numerous advantages. They offer an authentic and warm look, preserving the natural beauty of the wood. For example, in a recent project for a new apartment in Bihor, we used UZIN oils to treat oak furniture. The result was an elegant appearance and pleasant texture that was appreciated by the owners.

Choosing the right paints is essential to guarantee the durability and aesthetics of the furniture. Water-based paints are often preferred for their low chemical emissions and short drying time. We use paints from well-known brands such as Bosch and DeWalt on our projects, which allow us to achieve a uniform and durable finish. For example, on a new home furnishing project in Austria, we applied a specialized Wolf brand paint that provided excellent protection against daily wear and tear.

Staining techniques are essential to bring out the structure of the wood. It is important to apply the bath evenly, using brushes or microfiber cloths to avoid unsightly stains. In a recent project, we used Janser stains to color the walnut furniture, which highlighted the natural grain of the wood and created a nice contrast with the rest of the furniture.

Finishes have a significant impact on the resistance of furniture to moisture and wear. Quality oils and varnishes can prevent water absorption and damage to the wood over time. For example, in work for the Passau County Hospital, we applied a finishing system that provided excellent moisture protection given the demanding requirements of the medical environment.

Nowadays, environmentally friendly finishing options are becoming more and more popular. They are made with natural ingredients and do not contain harmful chemicals. We at RATGROUP SRL are proud of the fact that we offer sustainable solutions for solid wood furniture, using products such as those from Wakol that respect ecological standards.

Finishes affect not only the protection of the furniture, but also its color and final appearance. A well-chosen bathroom can completely transform a piece of furniture, accentuating the natural shades of the wood. In a recent project for a residential complex in Tyrol, we used Admonter bathtubs to create a striking visual effect on antique wooden furniture.

Maintenance of finished furniture is essential to maintain its original appearance. We recommend regular cleaning with delicate products and periodic application of oils or varnishes to refresh the finish. This not only extends the life of the furniture, but also preserves its beauty.

Case studies in our portfolio demonstrate the effectiveness of the various finishes used. For example, in a project to furnish new studio apartments in Bihor, we applied natural oils to pine furniture, which led to growing customer appreciation for the warm and welcoming appearance of the pieces.
