Varnishing

Varnishing entails the application of a thin coat of varnish in order to :

• Obtain a glossy or matte finish
• Achieve particular effects, such as pearlescence, iridescence, metallic or colored finishes
• Provide protection against physical and chemical effects
• Ensure a particular function, such as protection against UV rays or fungi, or to create a thermochromic effect
• Change the texture of the surface

Various types of varnishes (e.g. polyurethane, acrylic) are used depending on the effects sought.
