French Polishing London
What Is French Polishing?
French polishing is a wood finishing technique which aims to achieve a desired effect ranging from a matt finish to a high gloss on wooden furnishings, such as bookcases, dining chairs and dining tables, wall panelling interior doors, and staircases.
Traditional hand finished French polishing requires the application of several coats of shellac. French polishing is also an excellent method of enhancing the attributes of exotic woods by applying many layers to achieve the desired finish.
Colour matching, which is the practice of making different wood types achieve the same look, is also part of the French polishers craft.
Take a look below at our different types of French polishing. We have vast experience of providing french polishing across a variety of services.
