Asian Paints WoodTech: Clear and PU Wood Coatings Explained

If you want your timber to look like timber, with the grain visible and a smooth, protective surface, a clear coating is the answer. The two videos above show Asian Paints WoodTech finishes being used, and this guide explains the basics so you can ask the right questions.

What is a PU coating?

Polyurethane, or PU, is a family of hard-wearing coatings used on furniture, doors, panelling and kitchens. Compared with a traditional lacquer, PU finishes are generally valued for resistance to scratches, water marks and daily wear. Exact properties vary by product, so ask for the data sheet.

Where to use clear coatings

• Main doors and wardrobes, where you want to show the grain
• Dining tables and kitchen shutters, which see heavy use
• Staircases and wooden flooring, where wear resistance matters
• Panelling and decorative surfaces

How the application works

1. 1Sand and clean the wood until smooth.
2. 2Apply the sealer or first coat recommended by the maker.
3. 3Sand lightly between coats and remove all dust.
4. 4Apply the topcoats in thin, even layers.

PU coatings are often applied by trained applicators, because spraying gives the most even finish. We can suggest professionals who work with these products in Dehradun.

Care of the finish

Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners and abrasive pads, and use coasters under hot items.

Match your hardware

Good finishes call for good fittings. Browse cabinet handles for wardrobes, and floor-mounted vanities for a wooden-look bathroom.
