When refinishing a piece of furniture, the finish is either repaired or removed completely and refinished with a new one. This process is called “Stripping” and it consists of using methylene chloride to strip the furniture back down to bare wood. The furniture will then be sanded down with low grit sandpaper to allow it to better accept the stain or finish that is set to be applied. It will be sanded again with higher grit sandpaper later in the process in order to maximize the smoothness of the finish. Paint, lacquer, and varnish are just some of the finishes that can be used or altered through the refinishing process. Almost all of our pieces are sealed with a clear coat lacquer at the end of the refinishing process in order to lock in and create a strong, durable finish that will withstand scratches, watermarks, and day to day functionality. The primary purpose of refinishing furniture is to either restore or change its appearance.
The primary benefit of refinishing furniture is the improvement and restoration of its aesthetic. As furniture ages, its finish becomes dull and damaged. Refinishing restores the look of your piece, returning the surface to its original condition or giving it a brand new look. During the refinishing process, various flaws can be repaired, including damage to the surface such as dents, chips, cracks, and scratches. Refinishing can also reveal more significant damage on the surface of your piece, fixing issues before they become worse and cause more damage to your piece. In addition, applying a new finish to the surface of your piece will seal it and protect it from the elements and most normal wear and tear. In addition to the protection refinishing provides, it also makes cleaning and regular maintenance easier. Overall, refinishing ensures a longer life for your furniture, allowing you to enjoy it for years to come.
