CE Lunch Series

presented by

Finishing Wood: 5 Key Elements to Success

1 LU/HSW

We all love wood. It gives any design a luxurious feel, and the benefits of biophilic design can't be denied. You can paint wood but then it is no different than plastic or stone. To truly embrace the beauty of wood grain you want a lower opacity coating or stain. Transparency makes everything more complicated and applying finish to a wood can make or break your design. This course explores five key elements that determine the final wood finish and how to specify them to achieve your vision.
