A Guide to Renovating Old Wooden Furniture
Your old wooden furniture may be antiques or prized pieces that you want to cherish forever. It’s best to leave their renovation to experts.
Here are some of the things experienced professionals will do for the best results:
- Surface Preparation 1: Scrap off the entire old coating & substrate underneath has to be exposed.
- Surface Preparation 2: Apply Berger WoodKeeper Fill-O-Dent to fill in any dents, scratches and surface imperfections (if any).
- Surface Preparation 3: Apply Imperia Epoxy Block Primer which prevents leaching & thereby improves adhesion of coating & takes care of non-drying problems as well.
- This is followed by the Berger Imperia Gold White Sealer application. Its job is to fill up the wooden pores & provide an opaque white base coat for topcoat application. Minimum 2 coats are required with intermediate sanding of each coat
- Finally, apply tinted Imperia Gold Topcoats (tinting to be done based on shades selected from Imperia Gold RAL K7 shade card or Imperia Gold Classic Range Book). Minimum 2 coats are required with intermediate sanding of the 1st top coat, not the final coat.
Use of Sealer
The basic function of the sealer is to close the wooden pores & make the surface smooth & ideal for topcoat application. Here since we are going to get a pigmented finish, hence Imperia Gold White Sealer has to be selected. Minimum 2 coats are to be applied with Spray Gun with intermediate sanding to be done for each coat. Each coat takes around 1.5 – 2 hrs to dry.
Choosing the Tinted Topcoat
Made with Superior Italian PU technology, Berger Imperia Gold offers 5 tinting bases :
Clear Matt & Gloss -> For dark and mid-tone shades.
White Matt & Gloss -> For Light and Pastel shades.
Metallics – For Metallic Shades.
Minimum 2 coats are to be applied with Spray Gun with intermediate sanding to be done for the 1st top coat, final coat doesn’t need any sanding. Each coat takes around 1.5 – 2 hrs to dry.
Imperia Gold tinting machine offers over 650+ shades to choose from. Refer to the Berger door wood colour chart to make a decision. For instance, if the colour on your walls is a deep and rich tone, like Azure Green, you could consider a pale colour for the furniture. This will bring an element of contrast and add freshness to the décor. You can also choose a metallic finish.
