French Polishing
Wallpaper vs Paint
Your choice of a colour scheme largely determines the ambience of your home, and covering up the walls, with wallpaper or paint, is by far the best way to do so.
Since walls are the largest blank canvases available at your disposal, you could either go with wall paints in solid colours or wallpapers in textured designs.
The choice might seem easy at first, but it’s not. If you’ve constantly been debating over wallpaper vs. paint for your walls, we’re here to help you make that decision.
What is French Polishing?
Traditional French Polishing is a method of wood finishing which provides a high gloss surface of deep, rich colour. The process is lengthy and repetitive, if performed correctly, and involves applying numerous thin coats of Shellac, a hard-wearing resin. The Shellac is dissolved in alcohol and applied using a cotton or wool pad lubricated with oil.
French polishing first became widely used in the 18th century and was very popular in the Victorian era for finishing expensive woods such as Mahogany. Fine wooden furniture and musical instruments such as pianos were often finished by a French Polisher.
We can give you the answer to any question, about any finish, whether the question being traditional French polishing, spray polishing or a general furniture repair query.
