Is it better to wax or paint mahogany furniture maintenance

There really is no good or bad between these two processes, they just have their own strengths.

1.Wax ironing process: is a decorative process for wood surface treatment of hardwood furniture in the Ming and Qing dynasties in China, which not only shows the beautiful natural texture of the wood, but also forms a protective film on the wood, which well prevents the corrosion of the wood by the external environment.

With the passage of time, this protective film is constantly affected by the oxidation of the air, the touching of human hands, the wiping of the surface and other factors, so that the surface, edges, edges, etc. of the furniture presents a natural, translucent, warm and jade-like surface form, which is the so-called "slurry".

2.Lacquering process: At present, it is a relatively common process, and the paint requirements on mahogany furniture are relatively high, and it is not a general chemical paint, but a natural lacquer.

This is a high-quality natural coating, from the primeval forest and natural lacquer family, is a natural lacquer souvenir liquid cut artificially from the lacquer tree, with anti-corrosion, acid resistance, moisture-proof insulation, high temperature resistance and soil resistance and other functions, so far there is no synthetic coating can surpass it in terms of hardness, durability and other main properties.

Comparison of waxing and lacquering of mahogany furniture maintenance:

1. The characteristics of lacquered mahogany furniture: the wood grain is refreshing, smooth and smooth, the color is clear and shiny, the fullness is good, and the feel is comfortable and soft. Lacquer is a pure natural lacquer liquid, after drying and forming a film, it has zero pollution, no toxicity and no radiation, and is the best product for the pursuit of nature and environmental protection.

It has the functions of anti-corrosion, acid and alkali resistance, moisture-proof insulation, oxidation resistance, friction resistance, high temperature resistance and so on. The more you use it, the brighter it gets, the light can be recognized, bright and elegant.

2. Waxing: Waxing process is a decorative process for wood surface treatment of hardwood furniture in the Ming and Qing dynasties in China, which not only shows the beautiful natural texture of wood, but also forms a protective film on the wood, which well prevents the corrosion of wood by the external environment. With the passage of time, this protective film is constantly affected by the oxidation of the air, the touch of human hands, the wiping of rags and other factors, so that the surface, edges, edges, etc. of the furniture presents a natural, translucent, warm and jade-like surface form, which is the so-called "slurry".

3. Lacquered and waxed mahogany does not care about the difference between good and bad, only whether it is suitable or not. There is no need to investigate which way is better, not to mention that the lacquer and wax required by mahogany are not ordinary lacquer and wax, and the lacquer used in mahogany furniture is raw lacquer, not the kind of chemical paint used in general furniture; And the wax is beeswax, and it can't be ordinary floor wax either. As a collection of exhibition with mahogany, the effect of waxing can highlight the luster of mahogany, and mahogany furniture is increasingly into life today, we also have higher requirements for the practicality of mahogany furniture, lacquered mahogany furniture can make people taste the quality of life at the same time, but also timely use of mahogany furniture, so as to enjoy life.

The specific wax or lacquer depends on the type of wood, generally small-leaved red sandalwood, yellow rosewood and sour branch wood are baked wax, and the rest of the national standard mahogany are lacquered, in addition to the surface treatment of traditional hardwood furniture in China has the saying of "south paint and north wax". The "lacquer" of Nanuri refers to raw lacquer, which is a natural lacquer, commonly known as "earth lacquer", also known as "national lacquer" or "large lacquer". North wax refers to the hot wax process.

That is to say, the mahogany furniture in the south is painted, and the mahogany furniture in the north is hotly waxed, and the current "south paint and north wax" are not so strict. Thank you.

Since the Ming and Qing dynasties, the southern part of the country has used the traditional lacquering process to finish the surface of mahogany furniture, and the northern region has adopted the hot wax process due to dry climate and other reasons.

Or according to your personal preference, this style is different, the lacquer feels gorgeous, and the wax feels quaint.
