WOOD AND COLOURFINISHES

BEECH ANTIQUE

If you would rather not wait for years before your furniture develops a natural patina, you can enjoy the look of antique furniture with this specialised finishing technique. Starting with a dark stain, Antique Finish imitates irregular scratches, sun-bleached spots, frequently touched areas and even woodworm bores. The imitation age marks are applied by hand with specially developed finishing materials, which in no way affect the product’s quality. Each resulting piece is an original.

ASH STANDARD

Ash wood is white to yellowish in colour and exhibits pronounced growth rings, which create beautiful patterns. Ash is strong, hard, but also very flexible. Just like beech, it is well suited for manual wood bending.

In Standard finish, we offer stains that do not affect the wood structure. Most of the shades do not hide the texture. The natural characteristics of ash allow the wood to absorb colour differently, resulting in a surface with lighter and darker markings. The final look of the product is also influenced by the original wood colour. A colour stain is always finished with a transparent water-based lacquer, which creates a durable, impervious coating that requires minimal maintenance.

ASH PIGMENT

Pigments cover the colour and texture of wood. Ash has a pronounced pore structure, however, and this remains visible after a pigment has been applied. This attribute influences the final look of the product, together with the original wood colour, the production process, the angle of light, as well as individual perception of colour.

BEECH PIGMENT

Pigments transform natural wood tones into a full spectrum of colour, covering fully the original wood tone as well as the texture. If a product has a design embossed on the seat or backrest, the design becomes less pronounced once a pigment has been applied. The final appearance of the pigment is influenced by the original colour and porosity of the wood, the production process, the angle of light, as well as individual perception of colour.

BEECH STANDARD

Beech is one of the best known and most commonly used deciduous trees in furniture making. It is a hard, strong, homogenous wood, well suited for manual wood bending. Beech is light to pinkish light in colour with a less pronounced texture, as there is not a marked difference in the colour of spring and summer wood – the contrast that creates annual growth rings.

In Standard finish, we offer stains that do not affect the wood structure. Most of the shades do not hide the texture. The natural characteristics of beech allow the wood to absorb colour differently, resulting in a surface with light and dark markings. The final look of the product is also influenced by the original wood colour. A colour stain is always finished with a transparent water-based lacquer, which creates a durable, impervious coating that requires minimal maintenance . The Beech Natural option can also be finished with oil, which is applied to the raw, worked surface. The colourless oil base comprising natural oils and waxes creates a protective matte coating that does not crack or peel.

The oil highlights the natural colour of the wood, reveals its structure, and allows the wood to breathe. With the help of our Carebox, small scratches can be sanded over and re-oiled, leaving your TON product looking like new.!Each beech wood component reacts to selected technology in different ways. This natural property causes variation in component colour finish. Surface finishing with oil highlights these nuances. The colour aspect of independent wood components will even out and unify in a natural way with solar radiation and oxidation within a few months.
