PROCESS - FINISHING PROCESS
What is FINISHING PROCESS
At Anindo Furniture, our finishing process is the final artistry that brings raw wood components to life
It’s where durability meets elegance, ensuring every piece not only looks stunning but also stands the test of time
We follow a meticulous 6-Stage Finishing Process to achieve a flawless, protective surface: Raw Sand → Base Color → Fine Sand → Stain → Top Coat → QC Scrutiny
This semi-mechanized approach combines precision tools with skilled craftsmanship for consistent, high-quality results
Why do we have a 6-step finishing process?
The finishing process is essential to achieve a surface that is not only attractive but also long-lasting
At each stage, specific measurements and parameters are followed to ensure the final product meets rigorous quality criteria. For example:
- Durability: Proper finishing protects the wood from wear and tear, stains, and environmental factors.
- Appearance: A flawless finish enhances the natural beauty of the wood and gives your furniture a premium look.
- Performance: The process ensures the furniture is functional and safe for everyday use.
