Due to the increasingly demanding wishes of customers, companies are forced to
develop new methods of surface treatment. In the wood processing company ERCEK
– B d.o.o., this is precisely why they were pushed to find a new approach to achieve
the desired surface. They started with staining, lacquering and oiling the surface.
With different combinations of finishes and materials, they wanted to find a
combination that would be suitable both visually and in terms of surface properties.
We used wooden panels veneered with oak veneer to create different systems. After
the initial visual selection of some combinations, we carried out measurements of the
visual and mechanical-physical properties. We found that the visual properties could
be improved by combining different finishing techniques. Furthermore, we found
that the combination of lacquering and oiling could improve the resistance of the
surface, while maintaining the appearance of only an oiled surface.
