Lacquer
Definition of Lacquer
Lacquer is a clear or colored finish that’s applied to wood floors for protection and to enhance their appearance.
It contains a mixture of resin, drying oil, and solvent to create a hard, durable high-gloss finish.
Lacquer application involves the following steps:
- Wood flooring material is sanded to remove all imperfections.
- Lacquer is applied in thin, even coats using a roller, brush, or sprayer.
- Let each layer dry completely before topping with another coat.
- Once the final coat is completely dry, the lacquer is buffed and polished to create a high-gloss finish.
The number of coats applied determines the level of glossiness and protection achieved.
