| Lacquer: Lacquer
is a highly protective surface sealer. Speke | Klein uses
a high-performance clear satin-sheen lacquer. Different sheens and lacquer formulations can be specified on a custom basis.
Environmental note: Our
lacquer finish is HAPs (hazardous air particles)
free and has ultra low VOC (volatile organic
compounds) and formaldehyde release standards
(meeting European E-1 Standard).
Oil: A hand-rubbed oil finish penetrates the
wood surface enhancing colour and wood grain. While it does have protective qualities, please
note that an oil finish is not as protective or
durable as a lacquer finish.
Environmental note: Our
European hand-rubbed oil finish has been approved
by independent laboratories such as the German
Institute for Biological Building Materials
and meets or exceeds the most stringent VOC
(volatile organic compounds) regulations in
North America. |
