Wood Coatings Letting You Down? Try a Proven Alternative.
Is your current wood coating supplier letting you down? Wrong colour? Late delivery? Lack of availability?
At New Guard Coatings, we're proud to be the exclusive distributor of Barpimo wood coatings in the UK. You won’t find them anywhere else.
We offer a complete range of high-performance water-based and solvent-based solutions, ideal for:
- Joinery
- Furniture
- Interior woodwork
- Bespoke woodworking projects
Water-based coatings are particularly popular for several reasons. Firstly, the environmentally friendly formulations help keep your staff, employees and customers safe, whilst still giving you the best product without compromising on quality. Rapid drying times ensure that productivity in your workplace is maximised to keep those projects on track. These coatings are designed to meet the needs of modern production lines, with excellent spray and application properties, reducing turnaround time without affecting your project. Plus with low odour properties, you have the added benefit that health, safety and compliance will be less of an issue, in turn avoiding those nasty smells.
Meanwhile, our solvent-based systems deliver exceptional hardness, ensuring your products are resistant to scratches, dents and any other accidental damage. Outstanding chemical resistance protects your substrates from acids, alkalis, solvents and much more – combatting any unwanted damage from spills amongst other things. Deep colour saturation ensures intense colours really stand out in those high-demand applications.
With expert advice, fast delivery, and a commitment to outstanding service, we make it easy for you to achieve outstanding results, whether you're working on high-end furniture, commercial fit-outs, or bespoke joinery projects.
