Renner Cabinet Coatings vs. Traditional Lacquer

Product names alone do not determine performance; preparation, system compatibility, application, and cure all matter.

Traditional lacquer

Lacquer has long been used in furniture and cabinet finishing because it dries quickly and can produce a smooth appearance. Different lacquer systems vary considerably, including pre-catalyzed and post-catalyzed products.

Renner cabinet systems

Renner offers professional waterborne cabinet coatings, including catalyzed systems designed for cabinetry and millwork. A compatible primer and topcoat system can provide a refined appearance with lower odor than many solvent-heavy alternatives.

What matters most

  • Correct cleaning and surface preparation.
  • Compatibility with the existing finish and primer.
  • Accurate mixing and catalyzation where required.
  • Film build, flash time, temperature, humidity, and cure.
  • Careful handling and homeowner maintenance.
