Advance Urethane vs Waterborne Laquer
If you are thinking of painting your cabiets- then one of the buzz words is Advance Urathane paint. Advance is a Urethane based product that is a great product. The other cabient paint- not often seen or heard but used for cabients is called waterborne lacquer. These two paints are two different types of paint with distinct characteristics and applications. Hi, I’m David Cook, owner of Dfranco Painitng and Wallpaper in Huntley, IL. We are asked about trim paint, So lets dive into Advance urethane VS Waterborne Laquer. A quick difference Advance Urethane VS Waterborne Laquer Here’s a breakdown of each: Choosing between the two paints When choosing between urethane trim paint and waterborne lacquer paint, consider the specific requirements of your project. If you need a highly durable and protective finish for surfaces exposed to harsh conditions, urethane trim paint might be the better choice. To my knowledge Urathanes do not have the approvals from the Kitchen and design standards to resist stains, or kitchen food borne virus that come from raw food. On the other hand, if you’re working on interior surfaces and are looking for a more environmentally friendly option with a smooth and clear finish, waterborne lacquer paint could be the way to go. Somplace you can look for kitchen paint standards is here…KCMA . great location of materials that have been tested for kitchen use, if you are just painting doors, trim etc, then Advance urethane or Emerald Urethane products will be great option! Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the best results with either type of paint. So which paint is better? there really isnt a better, it is they are different.What are you using the paint for and where yo are located really matters when deciding what to use. For example, Nick May, walls by design in Denver, CO, uses Advance Urethane paints for cabinets- why? Location. Due to the climate there he needs something that will be able to be sprayed and lay flat, where a laquer there dries too fast. For us, we want to be efficient with our time. So i can paint sand and repaint 2 coats in a day! That gets us more productive and your kitchen back to normal much faster.
