Italian Wood Coating Italian Wood Coating vs. Standard Finishes: A Master Guide to Selecting the Best When the subject is woodworking and furniture, the finish is not the last step on the process—in fact, it’s the suit of armour and the personality of the work. An excellent finish protects the wood from everyday wear, moisture, and UV damage while enhancing its natural beauty, adding depth and texture. So with all the choices available, how do you decide? What Is Italian Wood Coating? Italian wood coating is the height of finish technology, the result of a legacy of Italian craft, design superiority, and chemical technology. It is not one product but a line of premium finishes engineered to deliver stringent beauty, performance, and sustainability standards. You’ll often see Italian coatings specified by luxury furniture companies, upscale cabinetry studios, and interior designers designing upscale residential and commercial environments. They are the magic behind the seamless, haptic finishes of contemporary designer furniture. What Are Regular Wood Finishes? “Regular finishes” is a generic term covering the traditional products that have been used for decades in wood finishing. This category also includes such classics as varnish, lacquer, shellac, oil-based stains, and wax. For instance, though a polyurethane varnish provides adequate protection, it is difficult to apply without brush marks. Shellac creates an elegant, quick-drying finish but can be damaged by water and alcohol. Wax is simple to apply and retouch, but provides little protection on its own.
