FINISHES
THICK FILM FINISH OPTIONS
Gloss Resin Finish
(100% Gloss)
A poured finish which has a thickness of as much as .25”, epoxy resin is used both as durable wood finish and as a coating
over logos, photographs, posters, metal, fabrics, cards, coins, etc. Epoxy has been a favorite finish for bars and restaurants
because moisture will never affect it and it will never wear off, meaning tabletops can be in use for years without needing
to be refinished. However, as it is a thick film finish the epoxy will be affected by hot cups and plates (over 120 degrees)
leaving an indentation or “heat ring”, and surface scratches are more evident as they are suspended above the substrate.
Epoxy finishes go through a “wear in” period during which they receive initial surface scuffing and some indentations.
Epoxy is available as gloss or satin; the latter may cause some blurring of image detail in the substrate. Please be aware,
any objects with a rough or unpolished finish may scratch the surface. Additionally, our resins come with UV inhibitors,
however may develop an amber tint over time, most noticeable on white.
Ultra UV Protective Finish (Satin & Semi-Gloss)
(Satin & Semi-Gloss)
The Table Designs UV protective topcoat / finish is cured by intense ultra-violet light, this finish is one of the most
durable wood finishes in the furniture industry. The main advantages include chemical, moisture, scratch and mar
resistance which are far superior to either varnish, epoxy resin and polyurethane. The Ultra UV comes with a heat resistant
resin base coat which provides a thicker build with more protection so you will not wear through to the substrate. The heat
resistant resins have UV inhibitors; however, they may develop an amber tint over time which is most noticeable on white.
As this has a thick film finish the heat resistant resin will be affected by hot cups and plates leaving an indentation or
“heat ring”, and surface scratches are more evident as they are suspended above the substrate.
Our UV finish standard sheen is semi-gloss and is also available in satin upon request (matte is NOT available). The UV
topcoat can also be applied to gloss resin tables to increase scratch and chemical resistance. Ultra UV is more resistant to
heat but should be treated with reasonable care. If something that is being set on the table is too hot to hold by hand,
please use an insulating barrier. The UV is not warranted for outdoor use even though it is cured with UV light. Please be
aware, any objects with a rough or unpolished finish may scratch the surface.
THIN FILM FINISH OPTIONS
Ultra UV Thin Protective Finish
(Satin & Semi-Gloss)
Ultra UV thin protective finish is superior to conversion varnish and polyurethane with additional scratch resistance,
chemical and heat resistance. We still recommend anything that is too hot to hold has an insulating barrier. Please be
aware, any objects with a rough or unpolished finish may scratch the surface. This finish is scratch resistant, not scratch
proof.
