When buying furniture, we often focus on the design and the price. But there is a hidden factor that affects your health every single day: the finish. Most mass-produced wooden furniture is coated in industrial polyurethane or lacquer. While these finishes are cheap and quick to dry, they release Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) into your indoor air long after you bring the piece home.
At Ahbar & Co., we believe in the safety of natural finishes:
- Zero-VOC Oils: We finish our wood using natural hardwax oils that contain zero volatile organic compounds. They are completely safe for your home, children, and pets.
- Deep Protection: Instead of forming a hard plastic layer on top of the wood, our oil penetrates deep into the wood fibers, protecting the timber from the inside.
- Tactile Warmth: Because there is no plastic barrier, you can feel the natural warmth and grain of the wood when you touch it. It lets the timber age gracefully, developing a rich patina over the years.
