The Art of Slab Finishing
The basic purpose o a Wood finish is to protect the furniture or wood piece. They prevent the real wood from rotting, guard against stains, and can even highlight the wood and grain pattern.
Yet, not all finishes are created equal. And we compared them all. We only use a Catalyzed Conversion Varnish Finish
Every wood slab that is finished by our slab specialist here at WoodSlabs.com is finished with a post-catalyst conversion varnish.
Quite simply stated, from our testing, this is hands down the most durable finish available for use on our exotic hardwood slabs.
It will resist moisture and damage from most common household items, and unlike a less costly lacquer-based product, (which is much softer and more susceptible to moisture damage) a catalyzed conversion varnish will provide durable protection for many years to come with minimal maintenance.
Please keep in mind, an ultra-durable catalyzed conversion varnish requires a 30-day period after home installation, at a temperature of at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit, to cure completely. A catalyzed conversion varnish finish needs to be protected for its first 30 days.
