Wood Coatings Market Overview

Wood coatings is known as the process of refining or protecting a wooden surface such as in the production of furniture. Wood coatings can be used in interior wood, small furniture, panels, tables, cupboards, chairs, office furniture, kitchen furniture, doors and staircases etc. The process of wood coating starts with sanding either by hand or scraping. Imperfections or nail holes on the surface can be filled using wood filler. Wood’s color can be changed by staining, bleaching or coloring other techniques. Once the wood surface is prepared and stained, the coating is applied to it. The coating usually consists of several coats of shellac, drying oil, paint, wax or lacquer. Finally, the surface is polished using wool, steel, rotten stone or other materials depending on the shine desired by the consumer. A final coat of wax is applied over the finish to add a degree of protection to the coating. The wood coatings market is expected to attain more than USD 12 Billion till 2027.
