Premium Varnishes
Premium varnishes come in various types, primarily distinguished by their finish (gloss, matte, or satin) and the specific application (e.g., for wood, art, or printing)…
By Finish
- Gloss Varnish: Enhances color vibrancy with a high shine.
- Matte Varnish: Soft, non-reflective look to reduce glare.
- Satin Varnish: Subtle sheen between gloss and matte.
- Spot UV: Selective high-gloss effect for logos/text.
- Foil Varnish: Shiny, non-tarnishing metallic effect.
- Shellac Varnish: Natural resin; warm tone for antiques.
- Yacht Varnish: Durable, humidity-resistant exterior use.
- Ultramatte Lacquer: Very low sheen; modern, protected look.
- UV Oil: Enhances natural wood warmth with protection.
- DuoVarnish: Hybrid durability + oiled appearance.
