Finish quality is everything
What is conversion varnish and how is it different from traditional lacquers?
Cabinet Tronix uses Conversion Varnish which is one of the best (if not the best) finishes that can be applied to furniture, cabinets and wood in general.
When looking for the right finish, many cabinetmakers/finishers will usually pick one of two options: varnish or lacquer. The results may look similar, but there are some key differences to these two materials.
The advantages of conversion varnish
More durable
Conversion varnish has twice the dry film thickness as lacquer. This makes it more durable and less likely to scratch over time.
More elastic
CV is slightly more elastic than lacquer. Elasticity is an advantage for wood joint expansion and reduces the chance of cracks at the joints.
Fewer coats
Conversion varnish has a higher solid content (about 40%-60% solids by volume), which means it doesn’t need as many coats to build an appropriate film build.
Easy to clean
Because it applies smoother and is a more durable finish, CV is pretty easy to clean, making it a perfect finish for cabinet doors that can often get food stuck on them.
