Finishing Methodology

 
  • We work with the natural characteristics of wood species and finish them in a way that shows their uniqueness. 

  • Learn more about our materials

  • We avoid harmful chemicals in our materials and finishes whenever possible, focusing on finishes that are free from VOCs, formaldehyde, and other toxic fumes.

 
 
 
Kole Made’s preferred eco-friendly finishes are exceptional products offering not only a visually pleasing wood finish but also a durability unmatched by other products we’ve tried. We went with one of Kole’s preferred Sutherland Welles finishes for our cafe tables, espresso bar countertop, and point-of-sale service counter, and we could not have chosen a better product. Other top coats don’t last the test of time, can’t stand up to rigorous cleaning, or turn tacky as they break down - it is the only finish we have not had to replace and it’s our first choice when installing wood surfaces in our cafes (and homes too).
