Application Process for Protective Coatings
The application process for protective coatings at New Finish is meticulously planned and executed to ensure optimal results. It begins with a thorough surface preparation, which includes cleaning, sanding, and priming the cabinets to achieve a smooth base. Following this, the chosen protective coating is applied using specialized equipment and techniques to ensure a uniform and flawless finish. We ensure that each layer is evenly spread and properly cured, optimizing the durability and aesthetic quality of the finish. Our skilled technicians are trained to handle various types of coatings, adapting the application method to suit the specific needs of each project.

Choosing the Right Coating for Cabinet Refinishing
When refinishing cabinets, selecting the right protective coating is crucial for achieving both aesthetic appeal and durability. Here are the primary options available, each with distinct advantages:
Polyurethane
This is one of the most popular choices for cabinet coatings due to its robustness. It’s perfect for areas that see a lot of use, as it offers a tough layer that resists scratches, spills, and general wear. Polyurethane is available in both oil-based and water-based formulas, where oil-based variants provide a more durable finish while water-based types have quicker drying times and less odor.
Polycrylic
This water-based protective coating is favored for projects where a clear finish is essential. Polycrylic does not yellow over time, making it ideal for lighter colored cabinets. It is easier to apply and clean up than oil-based options, which makes it a great choice for DIY enthusiasts. It dries quickly, reducing the time needed between coats, and offers good protection against everyday use.
Lacquer
Known for its brilliant gloss and fast-drying properties, lacquer is perfect for achieving a high-shine, luxurious finish. It’s particularly effective in giving cabinets a smooth, durable surface that withstands the rigors of kitchen activity. However, lacquer can be less resistant to chipping and may not be as durable as polyurethane in the long term. It’s also noted for its quick drying time, allowing for rapid re-coating.
Each type of coating has its own set of characteristics and benefits, and the choice often depends on the specific requirements of the project, such as the desired finish, the location of the cabinets (e.g., kitchen or bathroom), and personal preferences regarding application and maintenance.
Benefits of Protective Coatings for Cabinet Refinishing
Protective coatings play a crucial role in both enhancing and preserving the aesthetics and functionality of refinished cabinets. Here are the key benefits:
Durability and Protection
One of the primary advantages of protective coatings such as polyurethane or lacquer is their ability to protect wood surfaces from physical damage. This includes resistance to scratches, dents, and general wear and tear. Such coatings form a hard, protective layer that shields the underlying material from kitchen mishaps and frequent handling.
Moisture Resistance
Kitchens and bathrooms are high-moisture environments, making cabinets susceptible to water damage. Protective coatings seal the wood, preventing moisture penetration that can lead to swelling, warping, or mold growth. This is particularly critical for wood cabinets, which are inherently porous and vulnerable to moisture.
Enhanced Aesthetics
Coatings like polycrylic and lacquer not only protect but also enhance the appearance of cabinets. They can add a desired sheen—whether matte, satin, or glossy—that elevates the overall look of the kitchen. Moreover, clear coats ensure that the original color or stain of the wood remains vibrant and does not fade over time due to exposure to sunlight or cleaning agents.
Chemical and Stain Resistance
Kitchen cabinets often come into contact with various substances that can stain or damage their surfaces, such as cooking oils, food spills, and household cleaners. Protective coatings create a barrier that resists such chemicals, making it easier to clean and maintain the cabinets without damaging the finish.
UV Protection
Certain coatings provide UV resistance, which is essential for cabinets exposed to natural light. This feature helps prevent discoloration and degradation of the wood and finish due to prolonged exposure to sunlight, thus maintaining the cabinets’ aesthetic quality for a longer duration.
By selecting the appropriate type of protective coating and applying it correctly, you can significantly extend the life and beauty of your refinished cabinets, ensuring they remain a highlight of your home for many years.
