Wooden furniture provides limitless opportunities for customization; as a result, it is critical to understand the materials that will be used to design them and select the best ones; one aspect to carefully consider is the wood polish method used for all components. Lamination or Lacquered Finish is the two parts in wooden furniture design

LACQUERED FINISH

Lacquer is a vibrant material that comes in a variety of colours. It is made of a fiberboard panel that has been painted with polyester and polyurethane paints. Lamination or Lacquered Finish both have a gloss finish.

The lacquer finish, which can be matte, glossy, or metallic, is applied to the entire surface. In addition, you can choose from glossy or matte lacquer, two sides of the same coin that can confer very different sensations for equal colours.

MAINTENANCE:

• Lacquer cleaned with a soft cloth and mild detergent, or with a microfiber cloth alone 
• Use highly diluted ethyl alcohol to remove stubborn stains from glossy lacquered surfaces.

MUST AVOID: acetone, thinner, trichloroethylene, ammonia, ethyl alcohol abrasive creams, 

PROS:

• Impermeable to water or other substances

 CONS:

• Difficult to apply 
• Difficult to remove when scratches or dents
