High-Resistance Lacquers and Finishes: How We Protect Wood Without Compromising Its Character

lacados

The finish isn't just the final decorative step in making a piece of furniture—it's what determines how it will age. A good finish protects the wood from daily wear and tear without covering it up. That's how we select and apply each one in our workshop in Granada.

In this article, we'll go over the three types of finishes we offer, the application process, and which finish makes the most sense depending on the space and how you plan to use it.

The 3 types of finishes we offer

Colored Lacquers

Precise color finishes that integrate the furniture into a project’s visual identity, with color accuracy based on RAL and Pantone charts. This is the ideal choice when the furniture needs to match a specific color palette—a common requirement in contract projects.

High-Performance Varnishes

  • Professional formulations designed for high-traffic areas, offering high resistance to wear and liquids. This is the finish we recommend for the hospitality industry and any space subject to heavy daily use.

Organic finishes

  • Natural oils and waxes (we work with Rubio Monocoat) that preserve the wood’s original porosity. This finish maintains the most natural feel and appearance of solid wood.

How We Apply Each Finish: The 3-Step Process

Calibrated Sanding and Preparation

  • We prepare the surface to ensure optimal adhesion before any application.

Professional in-salon application

  • It is applied with a spray gun in a particle-free booth, ensuring a uniform finish free of impurities.

Long-term care

El mantenimiento varía según el acabado elegido: los barnices de alto rendimiento necesitan menos cuidado en el día a día, mientras que los acabados orgánicos piden un mantenimiento más periódico para conservar su aspecto.
