Pigments and dyes are largely used as colorants. The difference between the two is in the size of the particles. Dyes are microscopic crystals that dissolve in the vehicle and pigments are suspended in the vehicle and are much larger. Dyes will color very fine grained wood, like cherry or maple, which pigments will not. Those fine-grained woods have pores too small for pigments to attach themselves to. Pigments contain a binder to help attach themselves to the wood.
The type of stain will either accentuate or obscure the wood grain. Most commercial stains contain both dye and pigment and the degree to which they stain the appropriate wood is mostly dependent on the length of time they are left on the wood. Pigments, regardless of the suspension agent, will not give much color to very dense woods but will deeply color woods with large pores (e.g. pine). Dyes are translucent and pigments are opaque. Gel stains are more akin to paint and have little penetrating ability.
Today the need for projects with limited budgets and time deliveries increasingly reduced, the company generally eliminate steps in the preparation process and application of the finish. Even with all these changes, our company continues to work as it was done before, we are an “Old School” company.
All woodwork is finished with brush, respecting the direction of the grains of the wood. Never let the final finish with the ink application roller texture. The walls are “Smooth finish” without that aspect “Orange Skim Finish” that most painting contractor leave at the end of work.
We have experience with major brands of existing market inks, such as: collection “Aura” from Benjamin Moore, “Farrow & Ball,” “Fine Paint of Europe”, “C2” and Donald Kaufaman.
In practice, the (object) stencil is usually a thin sheet of material, such as paper, plastic, wood or metal, with letters or a design cut from it, used to produce the letters or design on an underlying surface by applying pigment through the cut-out holes in the material. The key advantage of a stencil is that it can be reused to repeatedly and rapidly produce the same letters or design.
We are specialized in the preparation of the surfaces, walls and ceilings, built with the Drywall system. Some of the major limitations of this system is to connect the plates Drywall normally produced in size 8 ft x 4 ft. The joins are generally not well prepared and the installation of the “Join Tape” creates a “bump drywall”. This “Bump” depending on the localization, show shadows in places next the windows or doors. Generally the ceilings are the most affected areas.
To correct this problem, we use aluminum strips in assorted sizes to build a perfect surface for both roofs or walls. Even using “Ultra High Gloss” paintings, we can deliver a super high end, finish without bumps, shadows and defects often found in drywall.
If you are searching for that perfect finish that is not possible with water-based inks, and want to keep the colors without the problem of “oxidation” paint the base oil? Our finishing spray is the solution. Pure colors, with perfect shine without the trouble to oxidize over time. Ask for a “sample”
