Why Lacquer is the Top Choice for High-End Furniture

If you're into high-end furniture, you’ve likely noticed the popularity of lacquer finishes. Here's why they’re such a go-to option and why we highly recommend them:

• Fast Drying: Lacquer dries quickly, making it a great choice for projects that need a fast turnaround.
• Water Resistant: It’s highly resistant to water, so spills won’t be a concern.
• Clear Finish: Unlike other finishes that can yellow over time, lacquer maintains its clear, transparent look.

• No Yellowing: Lacquer doesn’t yellow as it ages, keeping your furniture looking fresh and new.
• Excellent Protection: It provides strong protection against liquids and other potential damage.
• Low Maintenance: Once applied, lacquer requires minimal upkeep to maintain its appearance.

Lacquer is typically sprayed on, which sets it apart from varnishes and urethanes that might be brushed on or applied with a cloth. This method creates a smooth, protective film over the wood grain, unlike oil finishes that penetrate the wood.

We use only the best products for our finishes: Mohawk top coating, Render coating, and SFS paint. These top-quality options ensure your furniture gets the finest finish possible.

For a durable, beautiful, and low-maintenance finish, lacquer is the way to go. to providing high-quality workmanship and exceptional customer service.Outstanding Features of Lacquer

• Excellent Coverage: Lacquer provides a smooth, even finish that covers perfectly.
• Quick Dry Time: It dries incredibly fast, allowing multiple coats in a single day.
• High Build: Lacquer builds up nicely, creating a thick, protective layer.

Lacquer is known for its hardness and durability, making it a traditional topcoat choice. If your cabinets were finished in a factory, they were likely done with lacquer. It comes in various sheens (like 20 LOW GLOSS, 40 SATIN, and 60 GLOSSY) and can have a sheer tint like a stain or a solid color like paint, making it suitable for any cabinet painting scenario.

We've all seen painted cabinets with visible brushstrokes, which can cheapen the overall look. Lacquer, when sprayed, lays down perfectly and melts into a truly furniture-quality finish. This results in cabinets that look like they came that way from the store, rather than a DIY project. Plus, the silky-smooth texture of lacquer is unmatched!

Lacquer's fast dry time means we can spray multiple coats in one day. While it can be smelly during application, the quick drying process ensures that the smell dissipates rapidly. We also tent off any areas we’re spraying in to contain the smell and mess.

Whether you want a fresh, neutral color like gray or white, or a bold, strong color like blue or black, lacquer delivers a furniture-quality finish that’s smooth as butter, with no brushstrokes.

So, if you’re looking for a durable, beautiful, and professional finish for your cabinets, lacquer is the way to go!
