Finishes

Varnish

A hard, transparent protective finish made from resins dissolved in oil or solvent, applied over stained or natural wood to provide a durable, moisture-resistant surface. Conversion varnish is the professional standard in cabinet manufacturing — it cures through a chemical reaction to form an exceptionally hard film that resists chemicals, heat, and moisture far better than traditional varnish or lacquer.
